Hi-Nu GUNDAM

Made entirely out of paper! I've seen some paper gundams in my lifetime but this is just amazing.
June-san spent 3 years developing this paper kit and you can see more at his blog under the Hi-νGUNDAM category. June-san may have a booth at the next RX-79(G)GUNDAM paper kit cost 4,000 yen.
Speaking of Gundam, I have a confession to make... I fell (very) sick the day that I was due to go to Shizuoka for the Gunpla Expo and dont think I will be able to make it this time round. Gunota-san found a few sites covering the Expo so check em out if you are interested.
I do plan to be at the Shizuoka Hobby Show 17th May however and as long as I dont get sick again then I will be able to bring back the Gundam goodness.
If you have 50,000 yen lying around on your living room floor that you keep tripping ov...(more)

So this Gundam is made out of paper? Regular paper we use everyday? =0

It doen't even look as though it's made of paper.

It looks too good to be made of paper, i mean the craftsmanship and details are better than most people can do with the initial MG kit.

nice~ when will the paper kit be released? or anyone has a blueprint? lol

Nice... I would really like to build this kit! I wonder if this will be available outside of the show? Looked on his blog, but didn't find if he had a distributor... A local shop has both the RX-78 and Zaku paper kits. Now I have an urge to buy both and get to work!

Curse you microorganisms! Poor Danny. Hope you feel better. I was going to complain about how the suspense of seeing your Mirei-chan is likely to make me pop, but since finding out you're sick, I feel guilty for that "almost". Anyway, Linus Pauling would tell you to drink plenty of OJ. But... yeah....

I want one! I recently discovered the Hi-NU Gundam and it's become one of my favorite gundam designs. I like it better than the first version. Is there any mention on the scale/size of his paper kit? I have the 1/30 scale kit of the RX-78 and Char's Zaku. I've only completed the RX-78 but it's the biggest gundam in my collection and I love it, my summer project this year is to work on the Zaku. I have no skills at reading Japanese so is there anywhere to order this or info on the sizze and price? Thanks agian for tempting us with more gunpla

Awesome, not just the model, but the developer' determination to design the kit as well.

Now that would be a fun kit to make. Question for ya Danny. I know your busy with your company and this site, but I was just wondering if there's any plans to allow us to add Otavids from sites other than Youtube, like Veoh.com

"I can't believe it's not plastic!" ^^ It's very nice for pieces of paper assembled together. Is that some kind of special material related to inkjet paper? I don't think it would be the thin type. Danny, don't overexert yourself. Health comes first! Hope you will be better soon.

It's about time people noticed this kind of gundam colecting, and Danny this site is not the only one that show's gundam style paper models. there's plenty more, like the K.O.G. and thing's like that.

I wonder if I can prime the paper and do custom paint on it??????
(ID #47280) Posted on 2007/05/02 12:43
It is impressive you can get the correct folds without any error and still display the right amount of crease or pressure in this case to create that cool subtle effect for Gundam's armor. I wonder what type of paper was used.

This is awesome..I can honestly say this is better than the MG Hi-V that Bandai had just released recently... also I remember the cover for the Gundam Sentinel book had an EX-S that was made out of paper...it was mostly the upperbody of it but it looks awesome enough to do it...this has inspired me to actually do some work on this...can someone post a link if there's any more of this type of projects out there...

LOL, me take time to build a paper gundam? Impossible... i'll probably just waste my 4,000 yen and accidentally burn the paper or something...
(ID #69603) Posted on 2008/01/14 03:59
It's really paper?!?! Just from the pictures i figured it was plastic. That's very very cool for a paper gundam, impressive
(ID #70410) Posted on 2008/01/23 03:56
it took 3 years for that guy to create it and it only costs 4000 yen? well its the other model but isn't it too cheap? p/s: papercraft gundam : masterpiece
(ID #70557) Posted on 2008/01/24 13:35
I tried this one before, and it came out not so crisp. I will most likely try it again soon though since it is a good substitute for the gunpla which is about $80. Heres a good site for anyone interested in papercraft, has some easy ones for begginers. http://papercraft-world.blogspot.com/
(ID #178742) Posted on 2008/05/01 09:18
That's pretty detailed for a paper-made Gundam ^^ I don't think I'll make something like that though... I'll break it easily since my hands aren't really good for such things.

(ID #178957) Posted on 2008/05/01 13:37
oh how i envy the artist who did that.....but to look at it objectively, he really had patience and perseverance, and it paid off....definitely a master-piece.

I happen to have the hi-res pdf of this paper model. It seems that they model the gundam in a 3D software and later convert it to paper schematics through a 3D paper software. I've seen paper projects on Portal.

(ID #204672) Posted on 2008/06/05 03:01
hehe, if I tried to do this...well...lets just say...after about a week, I'd have torn up all the paper and burned it...Amazing that it all fits and you can stay with it for so long. But that just might be an attraction to Gundam...hm...
