[Free Template] RX 78-2 Gundam Papercraft ver. Juancho Aran

by on in , , ,
Hello everyone! Long time no see. How are you today? I haven't written any blog recently, so I want to start writing now. Begin with this excellent RX 78-2 Gundam Papercraft.


RX 78-2 Gundam Papercraft
Designer: Juancho Aran
Builder: Ngọc Nguyễn

This model was designed by Juancho Aran a long time ago, and It was not free back then. But then he decided to share his model freely because he doesn't want people to trade his model for other premium Papercrafts.
RX 78-2 is a very old Gundam, and you can find many free templates for it. But Juancho Aran's design takes this old-fashioned Gundam to the next level. I will compare his model to a free version of Hide.

On the left is the RX 78-2 designed by Hide, built by Rarra, and on the right is our Juancho Aran's version, built by Ngọc Nguyễn

In my opinion, both of them are good. Hide's design is almost like the original Gundam in anime, while Aran brings us a sexier RX 78-2 Gundam with smaller feet and a thinner body.

Which one is better in your opinion? Some may like the first one, some will send love for Aran's version. I love them both. But because in this blog, I want to share Juancho Aran's model, I will show you more about his design.

The Gundam is divided into 9 parts: Head, Body, Waist, Legs, Arms, Backpack, Shield, Rifle and Bazooka. The template will take you 37 pages in total. One thing about the template is that Aran didn't mark the color of every page in his template. So you will have to look at the Color guide on the very first page to know what color you should print the page in (for example, pages 2-14 must be printed in White, 15-26 in Dark gray,...).
You can find the Color guide and some instructions in the lower right corner on the first page of the template (as above)


Well, I think It's enough. Below are some pictures of the finished model made by a Vietnamese maker Ngọc Nguyễn and some of his progress. Oh, and by the way, you can find the download links for both Papercrafts (Hide's and Aran's) at the bottom of the post. Have fun and enjoy!
















NOW, FINAL PRODUCT:








DISCLAIMER:
I do not own this design nor building this papercraft. This is the work of others that I mentioned at the top of this post. The template is shared by the designer.

    This is blank template. So basically you can print it on any color paper. But stardream is the best.

      No. You can choose a pose before gluing pieces together. But when you've already done it, you couldn't change it anyway.

      strengthen every piece so it will stand and bear the weight.

      Best paper for Gundam papercraft in my opinion is Stardream paper.

    looks like we need a password for this? I downloaded it and it will not let me take a look at any of the files without the password. Also, I wanted to make the head as a helmet to wear for halloween. How would I enlarge it?
