I'm gonna try and do this once I get one of those exacto knife things.

 

cool.

 

lol 12 stepd total for the yamaha aniversary. ehh work's slow, ill be tryin' it

they look badass

 

yeah they DO look badass.

wonder how hard it really is though??

 

After looking at all the pieces you have to cut out, it'd take me a few weeks in my spare time.

 

I did the R1 twice a couple years ago, and the VMAX once. It takes some patience, and a steady hand.

Use thick paper (card stock), and score the lines where you need to fold. Do not be afraid to use a straightedge. Elmers glue applied w/a toothpick works pretty well, but I've also used rubber cement. Only use the rubber cement if you're using card stock.

 

i already started my project. its so hard to fold the tabs perfectly so that no white shows. my r1 took 18 pages to print and has 117 parts. so far i've only got like 8 parts folded. lol.

 

Looks cool, but I would not have the patience for it.

 

I still have the first R1 they put out, it's from 3 years ago. I think I cut out 10 pieces and assembled 3 before putting in on a shelf. Definitely cool, definitely time consuming and frustrating.

 

I started one about a year ago heh... the red R1. I only did a little bit and stopped, but I still have it all sitting here. Definitely use thick paper and apply glue with a toothpick. I don't think it'd be possible to do otherwise. The hardest part is folding and gluing some of the small parts neatly. Otherwise it's a lot like building a plastic model, just no paint.
