Coalition Of Ordered Governments Standard Issue!

[Maj Pain]

Hey everyone, I finally converted this Gears of War lancer model i had in to a 100% build-able pdo. Its scaled to size (1:1). ***Warning*** This is not for the beginner! I did everything i could to help it be an easy build, but the reality of it is that it is a huge model. I separated all the pieces into 5 major groups to make things a lot easier. So i suggest you scar, cut , and build in sections. Anyways, good luck.

Credit goes to original model creator at the Google 3D Warehouse. All i did was unfold and organize.

I know this is a weapons discussion, but "rules is rules". Please move if necessary. Thanx in advance.

oh sweet been wanting one of these glad you did it

 

[Gearsofhalo]

oh sweet dude!

You should do some details as floating faces. Would make the build way easier.

 

[box o crayons]

yea i agree with last sparten after looking at it i dont think i can do it other people probably can but to much for me still awsome though

 

[Maj Pain]

LastSpartan: I agree that creating floating faces would make the build easier, but again its not my model and you can't really edit in pepakura that effectively. I tried to create separate objects in the program, but i guess you have to do that in a CAD program, with the creators permission of course.

All in all, its really not that hard of a build guys. It looks pretty intimidating but i took a lot of time separating everything so it connects like 40 legos(40 pages, all connecting parts). Im staring mine today, so I will keep you guys updated.

I pulled it down. Guess I'll have to look at it now and see what I might have gotten myself into. Thanks for this Pain. I'm sure many appreciate it. I do.

Edit: Overall it doesn't look all that bad. May frustrate some with the barrel but not all that bad IMO.

 

[BinaryCode]

That looks pretty good (props for the guy who modeled it). If I ever finish the armor I'm building now, I might give that a try. Thanks for unfolding and posting it up for us.

yea now that i take more time it doesnt look that bad still hard but i guess il try my hand at it with the brand new pack of cardstock i got so then maybe ill have a

 

[tlither]

Just take your time Box. Slow and steady and it should turn out pretty good. I hope to start on it soon myself. I don't think Major Pain would mind if any tips on building are shared here.

 

[box o crayons]

yea im going to take my time hopefully if i do good enough im going to make it fit over my piantball gun like rsloan did and i have all winter to work on it except when i work on my spike grenade

I am not such a gears of war fan but this one looks very complicated.It is really a challenge to make it.

Nice pep dude

 

[FinnishSpartan]

Holy **** how many pages is that (40)? Looks very impressive though.

Yeah, i think it should be simplified, and the saw should be a seperate part.

Just wanted to post a small update on my progress. The build is proving to to be not as bad as it looks. Ive finished 2 of the 5 major parts of the weapon without major incident. Only advise i have as of now is to use toothpicks to apply the glue and only cut out 1 or 2 pages at a time. By the way, my build is 2/3 scale for my son, so i know that it has to be much easier for the 1:1 scale build just because its bigger. Anyways, i hope to see some more people take on the challenge.

 

[tlither]

See? I figured it just looked like a beast because of the # of pages. Looking good so far Pain. Keep us updated.

 

[FinnishSpartan]

Looks great! I honestly thought this would be humanly impossible! But you handled it great so far!
But serously? Toothpics??

Amazing accuracy!

[tlither]

toothpicks provide more precise application of the glue than just using the bottle it comes in. Helps avoid the glue goo you might otherwise have. I use them all the time especially on small tabs or tight spots.

 

[Maj Pain]

Absolutely, the toothpicks are for the tight spots and small tabs. I just let the hot glue gun heat up and then i just swipe the little dot of glue that drips off. It is a very effective way to go. Anyways, thanks for the cheers, it fuels the drive to finish up.
