papercraft LEGO Black Knight WIP13


My papercraft LEGO Black Knight minifig in his armor! (well part of it, anyway ;o)

Now comes the coolest part of this model I think: the medieval helmet visor and the dragon plumes!

The test builds looked great, but the "grooves" in the dragon plumes really are a bit tricky to build, especially the spiral one on the main dragon plume.

The trick is to pre-shape them the best you can to get the tension out of the paper: that way, you won't have to fight against the spiral shape wanting to unroll again when you try to glue it on in the correct shape. ;o)

Stay tuned!
