[Premium] SD RX-93 Nu Gundam Papercraft ver. MIW

by Brian Papercraft

SD RX-93 Nu Gundam Papercraft ver. MIW

Designer: SD-PP Model Design Thailand

Builder: SD-PP Model Design Thailand

This model was designed by Miw (or SD-PP Model Design Thailand). This is the first time I share Miw's model, so I want to say something about him. Miw is a Thailand designer who has created many SD papercraft models. You can visit his Facebook page and see all of his designs and buy them if you want. His latest model is the one we're talking about right now, the SD RX-93 Nu Gundam papercraft.

This model, just like many other models of Miw, is not articulated. But I believe this is the most detailed design of the SD RX-93 Nu Gundam. This model is 27,6 cm tall (fin funnels included). The Gundam is divided into 8 parts: Head, Body, Arms, Skirt, Legs, Backpack, Fin funnels, and weapons. Weapons for this Gundam include a rifle, a bazooka, and a shield. This model will cost you 18 sheets of paper in total. You can use the information on the cover page to choose the right paper color.

Take a closer look. There're 2 things I want to say about this build by Miw himself. You can see that Miw designed many textures and panel lines on white parts to make it more elegant. But there's one thing you wouldn't see on this build, It's the edge lines. This makes his build even better and also highlights the designed textures.

Second, This model is not 100% paper. There's a metal part that Miw used in his build, and I totally love it. You must've noticed it already. Yes, It's the wire mesh on the chest. This is so creative and well-fit. I always love the variation that people add to the actual build instead of following everything as it is designed. That's why I love this build at first sight.

Even though this is just an SD, it still has everything you love about RX-93 Nu Gundam with classic Gundam design, a lot of equipment like a shield, a rifle, a backpack with a laser beam attached, a giant bazooka, and of course, one-sided V-fin tunnels.

If you're interested in making this papercraft. You can buy the template for $23. Miw is selling this on his Facebook page.

Keep template files personal because sharing or re-selling is not allowed. Supporting designer for more papercraft models in the future.

[Premium] Optimus Prime Papercraft ver. Juancho Aran

by Brian Papercraft

Hello everyone, I've just realized that up till now, most of my posts are about Gundam Papercraft. As a guy, I do like robot papercraft, and Gundam is the best of them. But today I have something new to share with you. This one is also a Robot papercraft, but from a different franchise: Transformers. Today papercraft is the leader of the Autobots: Optimus Prime.

Optimus Prime Custom Papercraft

Designer: Juancho Aran

Builder: Juancho Aran

I believe we're all familiar with the Transformers franchise. So I will start to say about the design of this model. As you can see, this design of Optimus Prime is custom-made. It doesn't come from any movie or book. Actually, this paper model was based on the Flame Toys Furai Model: Optimus Prime Attack mode. This model (and other Furai models) somehow make me think they're a combination between Gundam and Transformers. It's Transformers characters with Gundam's design style.

Flame Toys Furai Model: Optimus Prime Attack mode

Paper model Adaptation

Because of this design, the model can't transform into a truck or any vehicle. In case you're wondering about wheels on his legs or exhaust pipes on his shoulder, then It's just a decoration. In exchange for that, We have Optimus Prime in excellent shape. We can make many dramatic poses without even trying.

I created gifs to show you how his body looks all around:

Body and Head

without arms

Full model

This paper model was designed by Juancho Aran. He's also the designer of the RX 78-2 Gundam Papercraft that I wrote about previously in my blog. The model is 45cm high (without weapons). You will need up to 52 pages in total to print the whole template for him.

One last thing, You can buy the template for $69. Contact Juancho Aran using the embed link I put in his name to go to his Facebook page. We don't know how long he will keep selling this, so be quick.

There are 2 types of equipment designed for this model: An axe and a rifle. But Juancho Aran didn't make the rifle, so all we have is Optimus Prime wielding his battle axe:

Thank you for reading, see ya soon!

[Free Template] SD Delta Plus Gundam Papercraft ver. Zp

by Brian Papercraft

As I wrote about mjh1029 (Zp)'s model: Go-Saurer in my last post, I will continue to write about another model of him: SD Delta Plus papercraft.

SD Delta Plus Papercraft ver. Zp

Designer: mjh1029 (Zp)

Builder: mjh1029 (Zp)

Original post: Click here

(Please press SKIP THIS AD, Sorry if it bothers you)

mjh1029 is sharing this template for free, so if you want to build one, you can find the download link at the bottom of this post.

Delta Plus Gundam is a variant of the Delta Gundam, which appears in the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn.

Delta Plus is not the only Gundam that is developed from the Delta Gundam, another one is Hyaku Shiki, but unlike Hyaku Shiki, Delta Plus Gundam is transformable. It can transform into an aircraft in waverider mode (this SD Delta Plus is not transformable).

Although this is a cute little SD Papercraft, it still has all of the equipment for Delta Plus like a rifle, a shield and wings.

Here are the original pictures of mjh1029 (Zp). You can find the download link for its template at the bottom. Thank you for reading:

DISCLAIMER:

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