Well, this part is over, so let’s go to the garden for the next step ! 2. The resin layout Instead of making all the three dimensional parts in papercraft, I made it “smooth” and I”ve added those elements later by glueing some piece of board.

I have cheated a little for the necklace. I didn’t print the falcon head that was included in it but the jackal one that I found separatly.Īfter hours of folding and glueing I have all my Anubis parts in full scale. The chest originally came from the Horus files.

Here are the files I used to build Anubis helmet. The head, the chest and the necklace. At last you’ll need some acetone to clean up the tools. A glue gun is not mandatory but would be an advantage ! The back-lit eyes are made of a flashlight and colored transparent plastic sheets. As it drops toxic vapors you’ll have to do it in a well ventilated place, or better : outside you will also need a cartridge mask, some glass-mat, finishing mastic (generally used for cars), paint, a dremel and glass paper of different caliber (in my case I used 80, 130 and 240).

Subsequently you’ll need some polyester resin, the same that is used by your garage mechanic. You should take paper with high paper density, at least 160 grammes, otherwise the model should collapse. You will also need glue, scissors and a cutter. Don’t worry, they are easy to find on the web, and there are lots of choices. In order to do it, you’ll need a computer, Pepakura software (the free version downloadable on the official website is good enough), and the file of the papercraft you’d like to build (in .pdo). As far as I’m concerned I do not print textures on paper because all my assemblies end up covered with resin and painted. I’ve seen pictures of full scale Link, Hulk, Dragon Ball Z characters, not to mention ultra realistic vehicles reproductions, and all of them were papercrafts. You shouldn’t smile, you’ll be impressed to see how much we can do with only paper and glue. Just a little reminder for those who haven’t read my last articles and for those who don’t know this technique : papercraft is an art which consists in making paper models. I won’t introduce you my favorite tool : papercraft. I’m back in the movie props reproduction’s business with a new tutorial, this time evolving Stargate.
