EX-DEATH::1st Progress Report

Here is the result of one day of papercrafting for me, I can't figure out if I'm slow or what, but anyway here is what I accomplished.  The figure on the left is the latest one, I stayed up an extra hour just to get a little bit further than I did previously.
    As I'm building I obviously have the pepakura file open, this way I can make any changes that I deem necessary, so far I've had to add a few tabs, change a few tab's shape, and split a few of the pieces for easier building.
I'll post more pictures later of some of these examples, especially for things that I thought I'd try out.  The leg structure is working out pretty well so far.  As I mentioned in the BARTZ layout process, I don't think I like just gluing limbs to other closed limbs, I'd like to try out whether or not cutting the excess and creating a whole works out.  So far so good right?  He stands up on his own right?

I'm going to try and complete him by the 10th, but I have work for the next couple of days so I'm restricted to just working at night.  I'm on page 23 of 54 right now, and a good bit is just cape, but we'll see.  When I say finished, I would like to have completed the model, preparing instructions is a different story.  I'm confident in the Golbez layout, but I'm thinking that he turned out well because I had gone through two other models.  Exdeath isn't hard to build so far, I'd like to think I'm doing an alright job and I'm not even a great builder.  If I can manage through it, then I think you guys could to.

  2. A 1m bahamut!!! that's excellent, I'm trying to figure out which one it is, I guess it could only be from Crisis Core,X or XI. Bahamut from X would be insanely difficult.
    Why 1m? that's going to take up so much space!

  3. always wanted a bahamut (FFX) and a big one will be great, he is 4 or 5 times larger than Yuna but 2.4 m it´s insane and a short Yuna i´t difficult she has to much polygons on her face
