Description
Hi Papercrafters!This is a project we were working on a few weeks ago, it is the famous Dark Lord of the Star Wars Saga. Darth Vader by the great duo Noturno-Sukoi
It isn't an extremely difficult model to build but it has some design details that have to be solved in flight. Even so it's a model that can't be missing in any collection
.The difficult parts, helmet, breastplate and cloak, because of that the model retains its original size without reduction. I hope you like the result.
Technical data:
* Papercraft model by Noturno-Sukoi
* Printed on opaline paper (125 g/m²), photographic quality, original size.
* Acrylic paint to eliminate white lines of joints
* Matte spray varnish, semi-matt and glossy liquid varnish
* Led and battery for light saber.
* Base of painted cardboard.

O.O HOLY MOLLY!
This doesn't look like paper but it looks awesome!!

Thank you very much! 
Then something I did well, because that's the result that I wanted to achieve

You're welcome.
Yes, you got a very good result. ^^

Great job as always! It's nice that you took the time to build a real saber

Thank you very much!
A Sith can't be complete without a lightsaber , even one that can only be seen in the dark

This is awesome! I had never seen anything like this before. Great work

Thank you so much!
Well papercraft is a quite unknown art for many people, it's a very small niche but we are quite perseverant

Miércoles!! No se como lo haces pero es genial!! Es tan fiel en apariencia al verdadero que tranquilamente puede competir con un muñeco real de misma estatura

Y miercoles de ceniza! 
Es un poco de práctica y un mucho de terquedad 
Gracias por pasar!

Mmm... hacerlo mas pequeño seria mas difícil para armarlo, me imagino.
Seria posible hacerlo mas pequeño? debe depender del modelo.
De nada, un gustazo ver tus trabajos. Son buenísimos!

Sip, aumenta el grado de dificultad cada vez que se reducen los modelos
Creo que este modelo en particular no puede reducirse tanto, quizá y solo quizá hasta 2 paginas por hoja

Thats an awesome model, but im a bit confused. Do you have a hand in designing the kit it or do you bend and paint paper?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well most papercrafts starts as a digital 3D model, then is optimized with some programs to be able to build on paper (polygon reduction, collision elimination, unfold). Once you have the unfold, these templates can be printed on paper, the next thing is to cut the pieces and put together as a three-dimensional puzzle.
Unfortunately I am not a designer and I only work on the models that other people have already unfolded

im just messing with you. fantastic work.

Boy... this is amazing! And that lightsaber... how did you make it glow like that??? (I know... LED and battery, you did say that. But I don't know how you can turn the thing on and off and where the wires... )
Anyway... I am in awe of your prowess and your engineer hands. I need to bow to your superior crafting skills!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, I had to think of a way to hide the circuitry long before the model was printed. All wiring passes through the arm, torso and leg reaching the base where the battery and the switch are hidden. The switch is hidden in one of the corners of the base. I just had to use my "engineer brain" to plan a better assembly strategy

That's amazing! Totally cool!
I dreamed about building this one: lh4.googleusercontent.com/-0u9… but with a little light at the bottom so it would light up. You've given me some really cool ideas! So... thank you, Engineer Brain! 
... of course, I am too far away from actually making this into a reality at this moment.
But yes! Some time in the future!!! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, that was much easier than planning my DeLorean without a doubt
Oh that's cute! 
I have always wanted to make a model with illuminated acetate sheets, these models seem very appropriate for that idea
I'll look forward to the realization of your idea!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I need to tell you... I got the idea after looking at this little figurine: www.e2046.com/p/20794
And one of the person who assembled it together also had a light at the bottom to create that extra icy shine. I am in love with it!
But this is plastic and resin. If I can create this with paper it would be great, too. I think Cirno's designs really lend itself to having light decorations because of all the ice. (And thanks for showing me that model, too. I might need to attempt that one too...

Woooaa it's beautiful!
I've always wanted to work with translucent paper, but I think glue stains are a detail to be solved
But it's possible to create a glow effect with low weight paper, as in this paper: Skull Mario Halloween Papercraft
I think another worm is coming into my head!
For now, cheers for brainstorming!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glue stains are a big problem with translucent paper... especially when it is usually not thick enough for us to sand down the stains later. It's either we have a very, very accurate glue delivery system, or we need to wipe away the undried glue very very fast. Either way, that's a lot of details to figure out.
I love that glow effect!
I would love to know what kind of worm is going into your head. And you are more than welcome for the brain storming session. I have to say I learned a lot, too!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know, even with my super-syringe with glue 
I don't know how much weight is in pounds 
But it's a bit early to let those ideas out, they're just ideas and they may not see green light soon 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Absolutely. I try my best with my smaller projects but the glue stains are hard to eliminate. And I thought that I was just inexperienced!
High intensity LED! Got it!
But you are right. I still have a few dioramas that I would love to build. I have fallen in love with castles!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, sometimes it doesn't matter how much experience you have, there's always the possibility of making rookie mistakes 
I was very good with dioramas 
And if castles are what interests you, I have an idea that maybe someday you can come true

Just to decorate the living room of your own castle

Oh, yeah... Rookie mistakes.
I know that quite well. I applied the varnish on my Bates House after I have put the plastic windows in. As a result all the windows looked dirty and fogged up. It's like no one has washed those windows in 100 years!
I think I started out that way, too. I remember building little paper houses and towns when I was a child, too. I never really thought of that as papercraft, but I guess you are right!
... er... you completely over-estimate me, my friend.
How in the world do you think I can make something like that happen?!?!?!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep
Maybe we were already papercrafters 
Do you think you couldn't create one of those castles? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, exactly.
I know better now. I will try to not make these kind of mistakes in the future. It's probably going to be hard, but I hope I will remember that in the future!
... you never know. I think we are led down this path by fate. How else would we have met each other here, become friends and start doing each other's paper craft...?
... Well... When I looked at the picture I know I had seen it before. And I also remember saying to myself: "This is impossible! Who can do something like that?" I think that sentiment is still with me today.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well don't worry 
I would say it's a huge coincidence 
Well to be honest I didn't see myself cutting paper and creating collectible figures, that was one of my most distant dreams, but now many ask my advice on how to improve their models and techniques to put them together, so you never know what the future holds 
I've planned a different type of castle, but it will take all my years of experience in this paper art... so that will be my "impossible" for now
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh... there are ways to solve problems like this. And I will come up with them eventually.
Heaven knows, I've already been thinking about it!
I think we belong to the same tribe, the Tribe of Paper!
I have a lot of "impossible" things I want to do. I try hard not to talk about them, because I want to surprise the people around me. But I know of some very devout Buddhists, and I have always wanted to recreate one of the Buddhist sutras in paper-cut. I have seen people who do icons, but never scripture. I think it's going to be one of those really, really "Impossible" things that I would love to do in the future. But in the meantime... I need to be better!

That is quite impressive (had to listen to the Imperial March on YouTube after seeing this one)
