Dark Knight Rises - BANE


Bane

So, finally, I've got around to finishing Bane, and I'm pretty proud by the results. He looks a beast next to the other paper heroes. There are two separate version, one with a coat and one without so you can choose what look you want for him.


I was worried that he looked a bit TOO beefed up at first, but if any model should look like it could smash in all your other paper heroes, it should probably be Bane. The coat is the same as all the other coats so it shouldn't be a problem. The mask is very fiddly though, so I've included a flat 2D mask that you can stick on if you don't find it necessary to have a 3D mask, of if it seems too much like hard work.



Sorry I've not really been able to keep up with my mail atm, but I will try and get back in touch with everyone ASAP.

(As an extra, you can download a broken Batman mask that I used in the preview image hereThere aren't any instructions but if you've built the Batman model before it should be easy.)

Shameless Plug : My Paper Doctor



As a change from the norm, this one's a commercial project. New MyPaperDoctor models are available to purchase from http://mypaperdoctor.co.uk/

They contain more instruction than the average mypaperhero does so they should be easier to make, and currently there's a deal on if you get the whole set together.

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman

So I started this one last year some time as some people may know but there was a lot I didn't like about it. I've since had the time to rework it heavily and I'm really pleased with how the final model turned out.

Here's Wonder Woman......



If you're unsure how the head is pieced together from the plan, I've still left the old quick guide up, hope it helps.

All in all she should be pretty straight forward considering some of the models that have been on here recently (I'm looking at you Loki+DockOck). It makes a change to have a more basic model that people can use as a starting model.

Hope you all enjoy. Feel free to show other people my site and to post pictures of any of your models when you complete them.

For everyone wondering...

BANE WILL BE NEXT!

I've noticed a lot of requests for game characters that we may see here, including a few other cult figures not connected to any comics. I've al so been VERY impressed by some of the stuff appearing on Deviant from other designers so may try and do another feature post some time.

Any comments welcome

Marvels Avengers : Loki

Marvel's Avengers : Loki

First of all...
Merry Xmas everybody! Hope Robot Santa doesn't get you!

I thought in time for Christmas I'd try and make sure I got Loki finished for all the people that have been following my page, so now your Avengers team has someone to fight! (Batman could fight him too, but I'm not sure what chance he would stand). Needless to say, life etc has very much got in the way of my model making but I'll try and make it my New Years resolution to get models up more regularly again. Hope you think he's been worth the wait!



I'm not convinced his face is entirely Hiddlestony but it definately has a Loki vibe.
I'll warn you now, there is a LOT going on on this model and he will be pretty difficult if you've not done other models before. I've tried a new aproach with doing the coat which should make it a little less blocky now. Likewise his shoulder pads are a seperate piece that sits on top.

As I was making it, I was planning on making it MUCH simpler, but I think the intricate design of Loki's costume really leands itself to doing multiple layers and the end result, especially with the helmet, should look impressive with your other models.



Any questions feel free to ask, and I'd LOVE to hear any feed back that you have!

Dark Knight Rises - Catwoman

Catwoman

So I've just had to move house or this one would have come to you sooner. In case you still actually have some black ink left in your printer after making Batman..  Here's Catwoman!!



The goggles may seem a little confusing at first, but once you've printed them off and put all of the folds in, it should become a lot more obvious how they fit together. Despite the whole "having to come up with a real-world solution to why she should have cat ears"  thing, I actually really digged catwomans look in the new film.

When you build the model you may notice there have been a couple of other changes since this picture was taken, especially bulking out the goggle straps a little.

Any questions feel free to ask, and I'd LOVE to hear any feed back that you have!

Dark Knight Rises - Batman

Batman

I don't think this one needs much of an introduction. To commemorate the launch of a little film that you may have heard of, Dark Knight Rises...  I bring you the first of a small selection of Batman characters.

Warning : In case you couldn't tell, this one is going to eat half of your black ink!



This model actually came together really quickly and I was suprised at how well the mask and ears worked out.  The model is RELATIVELY simple, apart from the ears, belt and blades on the gauntlet, but the blades at least can be skipped if you don't want to do anything too fiddly as I think they can retract anyway.



The helmet is removeable, and he's actually looking quite a lot like Bale. I'm in the middle of making Catwoman at the moment and there will be a couple more characters to come over the next few weeks.  They won't be nearly as quickly together as the Avengers models were though so you will need a little patience.

Doctor Octopus (Spider-Man 2 Version)

First of all a couple of quick points...

Site Redesign 
You'll notice the site has had a quick renovation! It's been using a template for years as I didn't imagaine it would grow as big as it has. I think for the moment this update makes it look a lot better and would love any feedback that you have!

Loki
He has been requested a LOT since I released my Avengers set. I agree with the lot of you that the set doesn't feel complete without him and I WILL DEFINATELY MAKE HIM, but I have a few other Work-In-Progress models I'm getting finished up first before I do!

Now onto the main event....  

Doctor Octopus (Spider-Man 2 Version)

So this one started purely as an experiment to see if I could make the tentacles actually look any good. As it turned out, I think they turned out so well it would have been a shame not to complete the whole character.

I wouln't reccoment this if you haven't built any other models as it does get quite complex, but if you've done some other models already you should have no trouble at all.



Getting the hair right was probably the most difficult part of the model tbh, and you'll notice that on the final model it looks different still than the pictures shown here. It's a little more messed up now, to reflect the movie look more Accurately.

Marvel's Avengers

The Avengers

Now that the set is complete, I thought I'd post a few group shots so you can see how they all look together. If anyones been tempted to make them but not got around to it yet, I hope this will give you the incentive!






As you can see, they make a pretty good team. I DO feel that something's certainly missing so I MAY get around to making a Loki sometime in the future. If I do, I might do a Chitauri army builder as well, but this won't be for a while.

Here's links to all of the individuals pages, incase you've just been linked to this page, and to save everyone dredging back through all my old files to find the Iron Man. (Though I'd love you to go through all the old pages anyway, there's even a silver surfer and a lot of models I guarantee any X-Men fans will love)

Marvel's Avengers: Nick Fury

Nick Fury

Here's the last of my Movie Avengers for the moment...

This model turned out pretty well and I thought would be a good adition to the rest of the team. His jacket may give you a few issues, but if you just look back at the pictures of him you should be able to see more earily how I've fitted it together. And for anyone reading Scarlet Spider (which is a great read, as well as the current Venom series) I guess he can double as  616 Fury Jr as well now.


I wanted to give him a rocket launcher too but had no idea how I'd fit it on to the model. You'll notice as well that some of the details have changed in the file compared to the picture above as a few different highlights on the jacket have been more evident on images released since I first put together the model and I've incorporated these into the file. This just means the version you make will be a little more accurate.

Last but not least, he actually does have the cosmic cube in the briefcase, incase you missed it in the earlier preview. I've tried to make a simple hinge mechanism so that you can open and close the briefcase without damaging it.

Marvels Avengers: Hawkeye

Hawkeye

On to the penultimate model of my Movie Avengers....

Warning : You're going to need a needle and thread for this one!!!

This model took a lot of constant rework to get his look right, and to get his position how I wanted it. It wasn't really until the face started to take on his essence more and all of his accessories started piling up that I began to think he was right...  and now I think he's probably one of my favourite of the Avengers models that I've done.



He does get quite intricate in parts, so you'll notice that he's probably got more instructions included on the pages than any other files have to date. If things seem far more complicated than they should be, just sit back, relax, and try and picture the shape in your head, to see if it makes it easier seeing how it goes together (and remember you can refer to the pictures here).

The arrows in the quiver is just an illusion to look like he's got loads of arrows..  it still doesnt mean the shape isn't going to be a pain to cut out and fold though.

I've also included his shades, as he has them on all the promotional materials, even if he doesn't seem to actually wear them at all in the film.
