This is a great blog where he describes building large scale mech builds, and he have inspired me to attempt my biggest project yet. My favorite mech of all time, a 1/60 scale MWO atlas model much like the one featured in the title of this page. This blog post won't show any work or pictures as I haven't started it yet, but rather it will go over the basic plan of how to do it in a paragraph or too.

The owner of The FCY Battlemech Club and the owner of myomer  Dreams both base they're models off of a paper craft model. To make a model from a paper craft you cut out the paper pieces of said model. You trace the shape of the piece on to a piece of styrene plastic (anything from .15 to .30 depending on what is needed for the part. After this, you take the piece of paper from before and cut out any panel detailing on there, and do the same step as for the first part mentioned here. This is because on a standard paper craft model all the surface texture is printed onto the paper. When you build it out of plane sheet styrene, obviously there isn't any surface detail to the part. After doing this for each part of the model you then have to put it together like a typical paper model. When you are done with this step fill in all gaps between parts and any sinkholes that cover the model surface with green stuff. After this step some make a mold of it so they can make a limited amount more of them.

Well that's it for this blog post,
Catch Ya'll later,
Mech42ace out.
