New Tephlon Industries Presents: TephMech - Delta 7 Squadron

(Pic by Methuup da Funky One)

UPDATE: Version 2.1 (Fixed the shin and removed an extra flap from the gun. Thanks Morten!)

About a week ago I was sketching and came up with a walking tank (Or "Mech").

2 days later I had it sketched out in sketchup and on paper. 2 days after that the first version was standing on my dresser. :-)

~~No photo's (yet).~~

After some tweaks and extra graphics here's the PDF if you want to build one:

~~PDF~~

Edit: ~~UPDATE. Version 2.0~~

Photo's are welcome. :-)

It's my first 2 page papertoy.

Comment by Tephlon on December 17, 2008 at 4:52pm: Here's the update, finally!
TEPHMECH Delta Squadron 2.0

Comment by Tang Mu on December 3, 2008 at 6:03am: like the shape. see a lot of potential with this ^^

Comment by Tephlon on December 3, 2008 at 12:52am: @Nick: You're right. If I'm opening up the file to change the fold lines I can also do that, good tip (I have the tendency to make stuff for myself... :-))

@Pain Killah: Will do. I'm having an unexpectedly hectic week though.

@Matthijs: Thanks. You could Grumm one up, if you want... ;-) As for Pepkura... No, I actually only did the Sketchup model to see if it would look cool. The rest is just done in Flash (I'm a sucker for the way Flashhandles vector drawing. Add to that the possibility to export Pure vector PDF's via "Flashpaper" and I don't even need to open Illustrator)

Comment by Matthijs Kamstra aka [mck] on December 2, 2008 at 2:51pm: Nice one!!!
I'm a sucker for robots, and they can't get it any better then in mecha style!

Nice graphics by the way.

Did you use pepakura to convert the sketch-up file?

Comment by Harold on December 2, 2008 at 2:32pm: hm...i always wanted to do mecha papertoys... can i have the templates? send it to my email at painkillahart@yahoo.com

Comment by Nick Knite on December 2, 2008 at 1:22pm: this'll probably do, also..
or maybe you can also mark the "to-be-glued"-parts in another color than the main character.. e.g. white,
that would also help, so one knows which parts are visible and which ones are not..

Comment by Tephlon on December 2, 2008 at 1:07pm: Ring: Ah yes. I kind of made this one for myself mostly... :-) Good point though.

JC: I'll upload a pic ASAP.

Version 2.0 up later (Tomorrow, probably)

Comment by JC-one on December 2, 2008 at 12:25pm: lol...up to this point all I need is a pic, and I'll figure everything out myself....it's a better thinking process.
