Dumb & Dumber 84' sheep dog


This is a 1984 Ford Econoline(sheep dog style) from the movie Dumb & Dumber. One of my favorite movies. Know about every word to this movie.
I got this model from http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/grandtheftautosanandreas/mod/19909.html . So thanks goes out to whoever made it.
 Had to simplify it for papercrafting. Made a lot of changes to to the GTA mod. Doors don't open or anything cool like that. Could have made door and other textures better but didn't have time for all that but its still a cool model in my opinion. Had to get this done before Christmas as this was a present for someone.
Its around 10 inches long. Not to hard of a build. The legs are kinda tricky so just take your time with those.

Update on Projects

Just wanted to let anyone out there know whats going on. Will be taking a short break from test builds. Christmas is almost here and I want to try get a few papercrafts done for presents. I'll still be working on the Batmobile and Maria gun in SketchUp here and there.
Thought I'de show what I got. Started work on the N64 controller. As you can see its a little bigger than a real controller . Yup ha ha. I like it this way though. After release if people start to request lifesize I'll do that but many parts will be hard to deal with that way.
Also wanted to share something I've had on hold for a long time now. This model drove me nuts. I havn't gave up yet but who knows when I'll be working on this again. Thought why not I'll take some photos of the gnome to show.

N64 Controller Progress


Took a while but here is what I got so far. Fixed the texture and other fixes. Glad I know more about UV mapping:) Had to rebuild parts of the C-buttons to make it a little easier to build. Theres some red lines that I believe are hidden lines I couldn't delete within SketchUp. Not all though I could delete some. No big deal but kinda annoying. Anyone know how to delete hidden lines that won't let me please let me know.
I am making this big and not lifesize. The reason is I think it would be cool looking to have a giant N64 controller to look at. Not too big though. Got it at 9 inches wide. I think that should be big enough. Got to do the unfold fixing and test build next.

Quick Update: I think I include a bunch of different colors as well.

N64 Controller

Something I did real quick today. Well it was quick to rip the model anyways. I made the textures myself and that took a while making and UV mapping it. Ripped this from Goldeneye when you press start in game and can see  the controller settings. Still needs fixing and "Nintendo" logo texture needs to be mirrored.

Maria Gun Update

Doing some fixing in SketchUp. Proud to say that my skills have improved a little within SketchUp and Blender I've noticed. I took the magazine out of the gun and made inside faces/polys for the gun part to hold the magazine(if that makes sense).  Also I kept the bottom part of the gun incase anyone doesn't want to include the magazine. I'm showing 2 magazines just to show the bullets. Looks sweet. Got some more inside stuff to do then it should be ready to unfold. Let me know what you think or any suggestion is good as well.

Update and New models on the way.

A render(in Blender) of what I am working on. These are from Fallout New Vegas. Maria gun is a gun you can get from Benny after killing him or whatever you choose to do with him. I watched a friend get this gun and as soon as I saw it I had to have it. So will be working on that after Batmobile and the Love and hate brass Knuckles. Been doing a little more editing on the Batmobile. also building the brass knuckles right now. They are harder than I thought it would be because of the inside part for each finger. Hard to explain I guess. The knuckles and the Maria gun will be lifesize.
Oh ya almost forgot the Maria gun model has bullets in the model and that was a surprise so I may add the bullets or the magazine clip with bullets. Not sure yet.

1989 Batmobile!! WIP

Got this model from a GTA SA mod. First I'de like to thank whoever made this model. Not sure who. Found out how to extract the model from the mod to edit and I have to do this. So the Kwiki E Mart is on hold. Something I've been wanting for a long time. A lot of fixing is still needed but I feel this is something I can do. Editing this in SketchUp for the most part. These renders I did in Blender. It was fun messing with the lighting and camera lol. I'll let anyone that wants to know how its going. Working on making it so the wheels spin as well. Unfortunately I won't be doing the inside of the model(seats,steering wheel,ect. At least not for the first version. I might though if this one turns out good and people like it.

Update:
Took some time and still have to do the back wheels but I will be making it so the wheels can turn. From the photo above I'm showing the bar I will be placing for the wheels.
Anyone have any suggestion or anything let me know.

Kwik-E-Mart Coming soon.

I found this at the Google SketchUp warehouse. Found out this was from a real building and not from the cartoon.Didn't know till I was half way done with this and messing with the textures. Well anyways check it out Here . I've added the parking lot, the parking curbs. Looks a little messed up from that photo but still got a few fixes I need to do. Stoppers, Sign, ect and stuff I will be making a "Extra .PDO" Also there were 2D characters(bart,marge,ect) but was having trouble with them in Pepakura. I'll see what I can and may add them.

Sunset Sarsaparilla done!


Download Here
Here it is. Not perfect. I suggest doing the top part first before putting the middle part together. Don't know what I was thinking. Any question just ask and remember I still have other stuff that needs test building if anyone out there is willing to help.

More Fallout New Vegas soon!!!

UPDATE: Getting errors with the lunchbox .pdo for some weird reason. So no tester needed for this anymore. I'm sure I could redo this if anyone wants this. Contact me if so.

Fallout Radio Done!


I ripped this from New Vegas but I'm pretty sure its the same model as in Fallout 3 as well. The textures are in reverse I guess you could say. For example "Radiation King" is suppose to be on the other side. Should'nt be a big deal unless your extremely picky:)
Download Here



The back part could be a little confusing. This is how I did it but you can do it however you like. I had to cut parts of the flaps for the antennas to be able to stick out. Might not make sense but you will get what i mean when building it. Any questions let me know:)

Spawn Mask Done!


Well Halloween is coming up so I though I'de make and release this. I ripped the spawn character from Spawn: Armageddon for GameCube a while ago and then edited his face face so it would fit a human head and all that good stuff. Seems to fit (at least my head) pretty well. I made the build quickly. I could have done a better job I'm sorry to say but just wanted to get it over with because I've build the whole head of this already.
