It took me a long time to find the motivation to start the next papercraft project when I finished the SD Musha Gundam papercraft. I browsed the web for a long time without really getting excited about any model. I wanted to do something I hadn’t done before and I knew it had to be some kind of gundam model. But nothing really inspired me.
I browsed through Korean gundam models, because they are the most complex and accurate models I’ve come across. I came across a super cool gundam model from the Iron Blooded Orphans series. I’ve only seen the first two series and a few OVAs of Gundams. And Origins manga I’ve read all the parts. But other than that I’m not into gundams other than the robot models are awesome. So I hadn’t watched the Iron Blooded Orphans series at all.
The model I was drawn to was Barbatos Lupus Rex.
The model was designed by Hikaru 11, real name Hirasawa Hikaru. He is an Indonesian paper model designer.
This model is not freely available online, you have to buy it directly from the designer via Facebook. The model costs $35 but is worth every penny. If you want to buy this model I recommend you contact the designer on Facebook.
The model is like a PG plastic gundam model. The model has an inner skeleton and the armor is built on top of this.
This model is coming along… slowly.
You can contact Hikaru 11 at Facebook if you wish to purchase the model for yourself. I will not send templates or PDO-files.
Stay tune for more updates!
