1. I haven't tried out if all the flaps are positioned right. If you really think about building the model, check out what you do before you cut the pieces out!
2. There are no inner supports, so if you build it, it will maybe bend at some areas. My tip is to measure the thickness of the hilt cause that is the thickness of the whole sword! Then you can add a long "whatever" at the inside of the whole thing to make it stable.
3. I just printed out one part of the blade and well, it looks very blurry. That happens if you resize a little game sword to a lifesize monster. Hmm vector graphics ftw?
If you find a wrong flap please comment it!

dude i love life size papercraft models! i dont know how hard this work must be but could u please make a pdo from a life size brotherhood sword from final fantasy x ? thx in advance and great work
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous: I can try. I dont know if i will find the game data file but if yes i can make a pdo.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to make the original gunblade from Final Fantasy VIII. Love that sword. Thanks and keep it up! You're awesome!
ReplyDelete@ Chris Wong: Well the problem is that i am only familiar with FF X and FF X-2 files. I never tried out any things with FF VIII or others. I think there is a way i guess. (there always is) i will try to learn more about getting 3d models of FF VIII. ... Oh and, i don't say that very often to musicians, but the songs on your blog touched me.
ReplyDeleteHey, Jouzu, I don't have room or enough paper to build a 153cm sword. Can you make a model that's about 35cm (1 ft) large too? I realize that would be very skinny for a sword (about 6.8cm), but that's not your fault--it's the fault of the designers who built such a skinny sword. :)
ReplyDelete@ thiteenfury: Ok no problem gimme time till tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI'll build it. Already got the handle done

Is it posible to resize it to 1/6 scale so I don't have to use much paper or ink?
ReplyDeleteyead sry, i promised thirteenfury to resize it too. fact is that i am busy right now. i will give out the smaller version of it as soon as possible!
ReplyDeleteOk just uploaded a smaller version of it (about 35 cm long) i hope the flaps are positioned right!
ReplyDeleteIt is times like this that I hate being on a mac. None of my PC-using friends want to turn it into a PDF for me. *Sulks*
ReplyDeletedont worry i will upload it for u ;) (in the evening. have to go to work now!)
ReplyDeleteSqueeeee! You are wonderful and awesome forever!
ReplyDeleteIn my Opinion I think your idea can be real because I've ever craft a Frostmourne-life sized. The important things is the material and the glue. I use 500gr/m2 paper and super hard glue (cyanoacrylate adhesive). But I mention the glue may be toxic so you have to keep a distance from its odor and invisible smoke. Just like casting weapon :D. The result is impressive hard and sharp :D.
ReplyDeleteP/S: Don't swing it to hard.
