:siren: [b]This is now a general XTREME papercraft thread, sorta[/b]:siren: Yeah, I know it won't stick, just go with it This was my idea for a little something for halloween. Honestly I would have made it regardless of the season, halloween was just a convenient excuse. Unfortunately I was pressed for time, and didn't get a chance to paint the orange on (and no lambda symbol), and in addition the thing turned out too big, and I ended up ditching it 3 minutes into the party 'cause it was just too damn uncomfortable. The crowbar however has incredible cane-sweetness factor, and stayed with me all night. Also very handy for stealing drinks from across the table. I could go on, but I know you're all not interested in that, so here are some pictures!

I'm disappointed with the scale it turned out at, so I probably won't paint it or go any further with it, it would be a waste of effort. Eventually, I want to remake it at the correct scale, so it actually fits. Eventually I'll make a full scale gravity gun (orange), because that would be so badass. I love this 3d construction stuff. Actually, I'd like to make a request. The model I used was the hl1 suit, and while it's cool, the hl2 suit is better. Unfortunately, there is no pepakura or papercraft of any kind for it. If someone could turn the hl2 HEV suit model into a papercraft I'd be stoked, and I would probably build it full scale... when I find the time/cardboard. [b]-11/12/07-[/b] Well, I got bored recently, so I decided to tackle the gravity gun! This was done using Chamoo's gravity gun papercraft, but color gimp'd by me to make it the standard gravity gun. I gotta have the orange! I glued cardstock back-to-back to make it tougher, and it turned out very sturdy. The camera died on me so these are all the pics I have for now, using yours truly as a size reference.

HOLY CRAP! That is some hardcore papercraft. I made a couple things from papertoys.com, but I never did anything big. I'd like to get into it again though.
I love you. but, i love the suit more.
It would have been both easier and cooler to use a real crowbar.
[QUOTE=Loofiloo]It would have been both easier and cooler to use a real crowbar.[/QUOTE] :lol: You have no idea how many times I've heard that! Oh, and the request is still out there... if anyone has the spare time and resources to paper-ize the hl2 HEV suit. Pretty please? You'll get all my gold stars and internets, every last one.
If I had the resources and dedication (rarely ever finish a big project :ninja:), I'd totally take this on. But I doubt it'd ever get done. Still looks awesome.
You MUST finish that suit.
Yes, finish the suit, and also make a crowbar! that would be so cool to have a real crowbar with a real HEV suit!
You do know that crowbars actually EXIST in real-life, right? A crowbar is an actual tool used to crack open boxes/floors etc. :v:

[QUOTE=Soft_Taco]HOLY SHIT! are you serious?[/QUOTE] Yes.
[QUOTE=Soft_Taco]HOLY SHIT! are you serious?[/QUOTE] Yeah, but due to their obvious immense destructive capabilities, the government keeps all of them locked away in highly secure military bases.
[QUOTE=Loofiloo]Yeah, but due to their obvious immense destructive capabilities, the government keeps all of them locked away in highly secure military bases.[/QUOTE] Good thing the AR2s aren't locked away!
Like Black Mesa? :excited:
I am doing the gravity gun right now :D
HEV?! OH MAH GAWD!!! Finally someone who isn't doing MC shit. You deserve millions of golds.
[b]Please help me, I sat for hourse with a scissor to cut out the things, but I dont understand the instruction-thing :S[/b]
[b]USE BRAIN KAY TNXBYE.[/b]
Just start folding things and wait 'til it starts forming something recognizable. It's a surprise! I honestly have no better advice, I haven't tried that one... YET! *edit* Wait, are you using Chamoo232's version (blue one), or Tez's version (orange one)? 'Cause Tez's version is impossible... [spoiler]Actually when I do, I wanna try to make extending/retracting prongs, and light up orange parts! I know, I probably won't be able to (all the materials I would need...) but it would rule! Yes, I'm studying engineering.[/spoiler]

Hey, if possible, could you make a lifesize papercraft version of the Super Caliber chaingun?
UPDATED! Check it out! [QUOTE=flashn00b]Hey, if possible, could you make a lifesize papercraft version of the Super Caliber chaingun?[/QUOTE] What's the Super Caliber chaingun? If it's manageable enough, and as awesome as "Super Caliber Chaingun" sounds, I may give it a shot, eventually.
Holy Shit! Real Grav Gun! :wooow::wooow:
I made a companion cube :3 found the design [url=www.http://www.threepanelsoul.com]here[/url], it's a hat.
Holy shit the grav gun is amazing!
[QUOTE=Aurastorm]Good thing the AR2s aren't locked away![/QUOTE] SMARTNESS! YOU HAVE FORSAKEN ME!
Get a new hairdo, grow facial hair, get a crowbar, wear the suit, wear a pair of glasses, etc
Woah that is so cool! Must have taken you ages to make something this big!
