Papercraft Metal Gear Rex

Weirdest thing. I was looking at the Lego TFs that someone on the board built. That page links to Brickmaster, and once on brickmaster, I started looking for other things. I searched Brickmaster for Gundams, and from there, linked to a page that had papercraft Gundams. I thought that was cool, so I Googled it. I found a couple pages, one in particular was a listing of papercraft sites. One simply said papercraft Metal Gear Rex. Now, Rex is my favorite Metal Gear, and I have been dying for a model or figure or statue for a while. I clicked that link, but it was empty. I went back to Google and started searching. About 20 minutes later I found something on a German website, but it was scanned in from an E3 pamphlet, so I have started the work of rebuilding it.

I was just wondering, while I was in here, was there anything I should change or make better? I can't change the structure, but I can do some things to the texture map.

What do you guys think of a black camo version?

Uh I can't see anything if you posted an image.

The model was given out with the press release for MGS2. It's entirely game-accurate, being based on the original playstation mesh and textures.

That being said, go nuts. Rex is a cool mech, a new colour scheme can't hurt.

Can we get a link to see what you're talking about?

I beleive this is what you are refering to.

Damn cool. Might print that out and give it a shot.

Yes, that's the one. And the one I'm dealing with is a bit fuzzy too, like that. So I'm doubling the resolution, and taking the grainy-ness out of it.

Got it, if you cut the words off the top, you can get a better size on paper.

Any instructions for this thing?

Yeah, I downloaded a set of instructions as well. So far, the biggest updates I'm doing is bigger resolution, no grainyness, and I am definatly taking out those white dotted lines. I am also going to make the color be in a layer seperate from the detailings and the cut lines, so I can change ans swap them at will. So far, I'm thinking, regular Rex, night camo Rex, forest camo Rex, and snow Rex. Maybe a sand one too, if I can find enough resources for it. One based off of the MGS3 flame camo would be sweet too.
