2003Freedom Gundam – 4ft papercraft
2008 | 93 comments
[ OVERVIEW ]
A 4 foot tall papercraft model of one of my all time favorite diecast models by Bandai of Japan, based on a popular anime movie. I created this paper model over the course of two months, which included building the miniature model, creating a 3D replica and constructing the final enlarged paper version. The final paper model consists of 175 letter sized sheets of paper and around 500 individual parts.

Okay….it’s a good thing you don’t have kids. Because you would never be able to assemble something like this without them destroying it. Awesome work man. Looks like it was a lot of fun.
WOW….amazing !!!!!
Well, you are quite the Artist, aren’t you?!? The design looks well thought out, especially for one that will be used in paper format. I wish I had such fine skill. I’d like to know a few things.. do you design by drawing points, adding lines, and filling in faces? Or do you use primitives. Which program do you use? What kind of paper did you use? One last thing I’d like to say, such a big model like that is beautiful, but since it’s paper, it has its weaknesses. Sometime, I suggest getting some Krylon, or some clear sealent spray, so your model will keep its ink from running for the coming years.
Keep it up!
Thank you Soaring. I do all modeling in 3D Studio, polygon modeling from primitives. 65lb paper works best, but all depends on what I’m going for. Haven’t tried coating with a clear spray yet. Might be a good idea.
You design Freedom Gundam is extremely attractive, whether or not gives me a papercraft.Thanks.
Impressive work as always, any plans on releasing a pattern
Thanks Ron. Probably no release with this one. But, if I get enough requests, I’ll release some new content for people to build in the near future.
Wooow! I’m impressed! Please, if you ever release this, let me know…. I already have my 175 sheets of paper waiting…
Amazing work, and great desing, congratulations…
Amazing Gundam there. I love the self portrait to, what a neat idea

Very sweet friend, now make a Big Daddy(Bioshock) papecraft that size with a pattern and you are my new god!
cool stuff dude…
but its kinda wasted cause u model it on a bandai 1/100 non scale mecha kit…
u should model it on a 1/100 Master Grade kit instead….
the proprotion will be must more nicer and accurate.
but still, this is one hell of work u got there!!!!!
i’m also doing my own ‘papercraft’ gundam myself, but i dont have the 3d model design printed out…it kinda of come out while i’m doing it..cause i’m a total idiot on 3d designing. i create it will looking at the actual mecha kit
u can visit my blog where i posted some images of my work as well…
Why not release this model?? Help others and they will pay you back in kind. At 175 pages, it’s not like everyone is going to make one…
I always thought the whole mantra of the papermodel community was to share and help each other out… Even the seriously cool Bumblebee model (http://paperinside.com/bumblebee/) was released for free!
Good job. I congratulate you, for your effort and your dedication to this fantastic model!
I imagine to build it in a smaller scale.
I will pay attention to release!!
it is a sight to beheld for all please send me a copy
Wow, seriously WOW! I think I just wet my pants…
It would be freakishly god like of you if you were to realease this in the near future.
Im sure the papermodel community would throw you a holiday or something fun like that!
I’m sad that you won’t release this one. That would be fun to assemble and would definitely be a great addition to my collection.
Please release!!
Thank You!!!
wow! amazing papercraft..i want those patterns..hehe..great job!
Amazing! Congrats from Brasil.
Hope you change your mind and release the patterns, we would build it in smaller scale.
Incredible. I have found very few non-chiby gundam papercrafts but this is just astounding. I would love to build one my self but i can understand why you would wanna keep something like that to your self. Even if you don’t release it i have been inspired to design my own. Great work.
Would you consider releasing the design to a very small group of otaku who are dying to build this? If there is anyway that something could be worked out, please let me know :]
I wish you would release this one… sure my wife would more than likely KILL me for building it, but it would fun!!!!!
Amazing work, I’ve been working on designing and (successfully) constructing an 8-foot Gurren Lagann and a 7-foot Kanti (from FLCL) myself recently, and I know first-hand that it takes a lot of effort to get this stuff right.
I’m kinda disheartened by the fact you won’t be releasing plans for this gundam though, it truly is a beautiful sight that I’d like to translate to a more human-sized state, but there’s only so much one can do in a lifetime, right?
By the way, what program do you use for the papercraft unfolding portion, Pepakura? They came out with V3 a month ago, FYI, worth looking into whether or not it’s your editor of choice ;D
Can’t wait to see your next works!
Dai I love FLCL. When you complete Lord Kanti I hope you make a video and post the files for fans to build one of thier own.
I love it! Too bad you won’t be releasing the plans for it, I would love ot make one only bigger.
woaw !!!! you make me cry ^^
do you send the model ? or not (i want it and cry after lol )
when did you upload the papercraft file ?
thank you
DUDE??¡¡¡, how in the world can a human being do that??¡¡¡, dude, you are AWSOME, are you sure NASA havent called you yet??, i mean, if with a printer and paper you can make a replica, imagine what you could do with nasa instruments….. YOU COULD BUILD A FRIKIN REAL GUNDAM¡¡, wait next to the phone…. NASA wont take to long to contact you.
please send me the pattern i would love to build this! or make a smaller version?
DUDE plz send me a copy of this, me and my friends are gonna try to build it. thanx
I would love to build this, will you be releasing it now that so many people have asked you? Great job even if you don’t release it.
You’ve been very able! Could you project UFO robot Grendizer, using the same method? Best regards, Cisky
Wonderfully awesome! I agree with the release request!
very good work!!!!!!!!!
Wow you finally finished it! I gotta say buddy, the finished product looks flippin’ sweet. If I even attempted to make something like that it’d look like a giant piece of origami that got caught in the middle of a elephant stampede.
Very Nice. Would love to make one. Any chance of buying a copy of the plans?
wow !! amazing…very goods works.
You release this.

From one papercraft master to another, I ask if you will release it, if not, release it privately. I’ve been itching to make something that will truely test my patience, and I trust this will test it beautifully.
oh cool! Ultra COOL!! I’ll built 1, but at half size. Too big for my little room.
Good evening, it is possible that you give me the project gundan? i would like to arm it so much, thank you

This is truly awesome! Congratulations to the designer.
Never seen a paper craft this big and great looking.
You should really consider releasing this somehow. I bet there are a lot of enthusiast crafters out there who would build this thing, including myself.
Greate JOB!!!!!

Again, Greate job!!!!

Hey man, I know you don’t want to release this, but do you think there could be another 4 foot awesome gundam you could release? Like Wing Zero or something?
This is so cool, the only things I have ever built are small papercraft, like 6in x 6in x 6in. I mostly built starcraft fuigures, but I so want to build this. If there is any way you could send the design I would love to try and build my own. Either way, Thanks for the cool pics/video.
Hi, Taras It’s Cheryll at Hope Place, I think your work is greart! I can’t believe you with your background would want to help me, it is truly a God send. I would like to learn computer graphics, I believe with your help and God’s love it could be the start of a life and the Destiny that God has always meant for me to have. thank you, and please call. Cheryll Kyger

i would also like step by step instructions, please. I’a a huge fan of gundam, but I never have the money to buy one model that big. I will be looking for instructions on how to make one on the internet, just in case you can’t.
looks amazing…. would you mind if I use this as a bases for a Cosplay in may next year?
