Cut and paste and beam-free-all
Been working on a little something over the past week,  I have to admit that excitement's got the better of me so I'm posting some poorly lit photos.

Anyhow, they get the idea across until I can take better ones (i.e. during the day and not at 3am ;) ).


UPDATE: I decided to release the model layout, you can get it here: REMOVED

It's in PDF format and has no instructions, if you view the CG model for reference you shouldn't have too much trouble. Print pages 1 to 5 on stiff paper and 6 on lighter stuff. This will give you the Orion model without turrets and radar dishes.

EDIT: 03-03-08 - I uploaded the .pdo (pepakura), textures and the .PDF that I built. Feel free to use/modify/experiment, the only thing I ask is that if you make your own Orion please send me a photo or post one here. :)

An Orion vs. Beatrix? I'm putting my money on the Hanzo. ;)


And a few I took during the build using my camera phone:






I'm working on cleaning up the layout and it still needs all the greeblies (turrets, radar dishes, etc.) but short of a bit of tidying up it's quite a decent model.

A few of the UV's are screwed up so if anyone with photoshop would care to do a bit of quick fixing on the model layout it would be most appreciated.

You will have to tell us the technique you used to get a 3d model onto cut out format.

[color=66ff00]Cheers, it took 6 sheets of A4 sized 300gramme card. Basically it's just a little stiffer than cereal packet card. The finished model is about 35cm long.

BTW I must say a big thankyou to Raa for providing the mesh in the first place.

Grug: It's a program called Pepakura.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Nah, that's gratuitous self-pimpage. If someone else did it, on the other hand... ;)
