New Kurt (not Russell) papercraft model

The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated. I'm still here. ;o)

There weren't too many updates on my Cloud model the last two weeks, because I've been busy with everyday's stuff and well... test building Kurt.

I already did all the work on the 3D model over a year ago, before the "Great Computer Failure" of january 2008... So I was pretty happy I found it again. ;o)

In a year's time, one gets new ideas on how to make paper models, so I tweaked the 3D model a little more, but not much. I spent the first week secretly test building the head, body and legs, and last week I basically did one arm a night. ;o)

I'm very happy with how it turned out, it is a lot more balanced than it looks, and it's not insanely big (just 25 cm or so) and yet the parts themselves are of a good size to handle (except the four fangs, they're quite small).

The biggest drawback I guess, is that it has a whopping 155 parts: but what'd you expect with 6 arms with 11 parts each? ;o)

Have fun building!

Cloud's Buster sword

Sorry for the serious lack of updates, but I haven't had the time to do anything really worth showing yet I think.

Basically all I had time for this week was cleaning up Cloud's Buster sword, and that was only because it only really needed a minimum amount of cleaning anway. ;o)

All I did was make a new, stronger (I hope ;o) connection between the grip and the guard, and I was thinking about making the two holes at the base just part of the texture, but maybe the parts will turn out big enough to make them real holes (but I'll test build that and decided then, it'd be easy enough to change).

Stay tuned for more (interesting) updates! ;o)
