Jeepney

Ever been to the Philippines? It's my home. My country puts the FUN in dysFUNnctional! As local tourism would like to promote it, "It's more fun in the Philippines!" Do+n't get me wrong, I like living here. Here's a papercraft model I made related to that:

This is a papermodel of a Philippine "Jeepney"- the most common vehicle of public mass transportation found in my country. These self styled old kings of the road are loud, air polluting, are generally (un)safe and ply all over the metro and in the provinces in droves. Currently, they are subject to a government proposed modernization, but many still object to it - go figure. The design of these vehicles evolved from the old "Willy" jeeps left by the Americans after WW2. On a heritage point of view, the jeepney is one of many colorful cultural contradictions that is native to the Philippines.

Do a google image search of "jeepney" to appreciate the uniqueness of this wonderful time bomb on wheels.

RC BODYSHELLS PAPERCRAFT

Another one of my favorite hobbies are RC vehicles. I like RC offroad trucks in particular. I mostly just run and bash my RCs . I have a couple of TAMIYA TL-01 chassis that I converted to off road by changing to bigger tires and chopping up the old chassis. I had a shortage of bodyshells and was too stingy to spring out for new ones which I know I will just eventually end up destroying. So, as a solution to that, I decided to make my own body shells. Of all cars, I like the classic VW Beetle the most so I decided to make that one, plus it also looks cool with monster size wheels. There Humvee was just an after thought since I already did the 1/50th scale version, I decided to upscale it and it looked pretty as a bodyshell too. I made the 1/18 yellow shortened pickup just for fun.

Now, the bodyshells I made for myself now are made available to download for free.See them in the new FREE MODELS II section. I'm happy my collection of downloadable paper models made available is growing. Hopefully I'll have many more other releases in the near future!

NEW YEAR, NEW MODEL, NEW LOOK!

I'm happy to announce the MH-53E "SEA DRAGON" Heavy Lift Helicopter paper model has finally been released! It's been ready for quite some time, but I hadn't got the chance to publish until now. So here it is! (Click on the pic)

 

What else?! New payment and file delivery system in place hopefully to minimize piracy (unfortunately, my older works have been pirated), newish design of the site, and finally -date stamping of new releases - to help me remember my craft history.

Motivation

I read somewhere that the core qualities for success on life = desire, intelligence, and will power. I'm pretty sure I got the first two covered, will power not so much so I will try better to work on that. I also want to be a successful papercraft designer. I will do more.

1:48 scale humvee

I had a bit of free time so I challenged myself to design this paper model of a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) or better known as "Humvee". I'll make this available to everyone soon enough, amongst other things. For the meantime, see more of it in the gallery.

The bigger guy on the right is a 3.5" action figure for scale reference

the little guy is an experimental 2.5 d soldier dude papercraft to complement vehicles in this scale.

Custom T-bear

I'll customize you into a teddy bear paper model kit for 5 bucks! 

  

I joined fiverr.com and created this gig. Click here if you want one. Also, I revised the links of the free model downloads to direct downloads hosted by mediafire. The old sponsored links were annoying as heck! Will just have to find another way to make some extra dough. This, I hope is a better way.

And, Finally! After a long lull period (again), I got around to finish my Whitebase papercraft project. See more images of it in the gallery taken with my old Sanyo camera.
