Tribute to Heavy Bramble: papertoy Brummble

Updates: I moved them to the bottom of this post, just click here to jump to the updates!

This is my first of my monthly “big” – post (read more about the changes I will make this year).

I had this lying around for some time (made it before Christmas), but didn’t take the time to finish it.
For the first time I had a WIP test builder (Jason Bolt) and that helped a lot.
Especially because I had some pressure to finish it!!

And as promised it will be down-loadable; I present:

Brummble is a papertoy tribute to the awesome vinyl from ThreeA: Heavy Bramble.
I wanted to see how fast I could “papertoy” a vinyl (about 3 nights (3*4hours) and some extra hours for ‘bugfixing some ‘lite’ instructions and photos). The instructions are very minimal, so some it’s not a beginners project. You will need 5 pages, my advice is to use 120/160 gram paper (heavier than the usual printing-/copy-paper). It will take about 4 hours to cut out and build.

Not a print this time? No I don’t think it needs more, but you may always surprise me with a custom!

5 pages

Yes it’s not a small papertoy, but the result will be very close to the original!
and show me/the world the pictures!!

[…] L’idée initiale de [mck] était de voir à quelle vitesse il pouvait adapter un art toy en vinyl au matériau papier… Et bien la réponse est environ une bonne quinzaine d’heures, réparties en 3 nuits… Les instructions sont plutôt minimalistes car ce papertoy (dont le template s’étale sur 5 pages) n’est clairement pas fait pour les débutants… Il faudra environ 4 heures aux initiés pour le découper et l’assembler (à moins d’avoir un matos de guerrier ^^). Les plus courageux pourront donc télécharger le patron en cliquant sur l’image qui suit, ou directement depuis le site de [mck]. […]

Hi, i was just wondering what scale is the papercraft? is it comparable to the 1/6 or 1/12 scale bramble?
