Unit 00

BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
in Zocalo v2.0
After 3 and a half weeks of work, 52 sheets of cardboard and an entire bottle of glue, I present my latest cardboard model: [url=http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/jlbiggs/images/photos/eva00/112_1212.jpg]Evangelion Unit 00[/url].

This is quite a beast of a model. 69cm high, and surprisingly heavy (the "real" Eva is as big as a large skyscraper). Here's a view of the [url=http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/jlbiggs/images/photos/eva00/112_1215.jpg]back[/url] and the [url=http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/jlbiggs/images/photos/eva00/112_1216.jpg]side[/url]. For those who haven't fucked up their minds by watching Eva, the big grey thing in its back is a plug because these things run off an external power supply.

What do you do when you need a shield for such a large robot at very short notice? Easy! Simply take one heat shield from a space ship, add a [url=http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/jlbiggs/images/photos/eva00/112_1214.jpg]handle[/url], and [url=http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/jlbiggs/images/photos/eva00/112_1213.jpg]give to the Eva[/url].

At the end of the day, when you're done fighting angels, your Eva will [url=http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/jlbiggs/images/photos/eva00/112_1218.jpg]pack away into two amazon.com boxes[/url] for easy storage!

    Very cool

    No idea what I'd do with it, but I want one

    It even has a gas nozzel out the back for convenient car fueling :D *ducks behind some heat protective shielding*

    Cardboard!? Holy shit mate, that's pretty freaking good stuff you're making out of it. :)

    I draw these things, I don't have way of acutally making models out of 'em. :) I think I might have to try sculpting some day, though. :)

    It's made out of 140 gram cardboard. Quite light stuff really, but it makes amazingly rigid shapes once it's bent into the third dimension.

    Where'd you get it, Biggles?


    [i]EDIT:[/i]Nevermind. I found it.

    Yep, that's the place. I did a bit more research on the model a couple of months ago, and I found out it's actually pirated off a CD that was only released in Japan a long time ago and is no longer available. Same goes for the eva01 model and the gundam model on that site. Unfortunately, none of the models are complete (a little improvisation is needed in places) and the instructions are incomplete as well. The eva00 instructions are the most complete, but they're in Japanese (not that this worried me much :)).

    I was really, really, really, really impressed with the model until I found out you didn't create the patttern.

    Now I'm just really, really, really impressed. ;)
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Me? Create that pattern? Hell no! You can tell from building it that months of thinking have gone into the design of it.
  • Data CrystalData Crystal Pencil Artist
    Hey, I too thought that you actually designed the pattern yourself too. :) That was the thing that felled my jaw to the floor. Now I'm just impressed. ;)

    140gram cardboard? The thin, slatelike stuff? Not as in packing material? I use the same sheets of 90gram weight myself. Although I draw on 'em. :p Still have to colour my next work though the lineart's there. Thanks for reminding me. x)

    I think Biggles has a new hobby...
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    No, Biggles has rediscovered an old hobby. Over 10 years ago, I was a prolific cardboard modeller, and mostly models of my own design too. I had piles of them. My favorite was a roll-on-roll-off ferry that took micromachines. :) None of my models ever compared with this one, though.

    Holy... shit...

    Holy SHIT! *looks again at pictures, weeps brokenly*
