Gundam Exia by Toscraft

Hello guys. My bad, been procrastinating again and again. Today, it’s the final day of my mid-semester break, and I finally have the ‘mood’ to type again. Same thing repeated, a lot had been done, but no time to blog, haha. While my Sword Impulse is put away, ( the ink quality is… terrible. The red is so washed out now I am hesitating to reprint the templates, but when I look back at the head, it’s quite good… Any idea?   ) I built another gundam. This time, it’s GN-001 Gundam Exia. This wonderful model is designed and distributed for free by Toscraft.


You know, the gundam papercraft designs are now mostly 40cm in height, probably? The designer thought of another idea: why don’t we reduce the height to about HG grade GUNPLA, which has a ratio of 1:144.
Hence, the product is a 1:144 papaercraft Gundam Exia! If you look around in the blog, you’ll find Destiny Gundam and Gundam Unicorn in the same size as well!



I could only say the design is marvelous! It is small yet detailed. Of course, it cannot compete the level of detail with the 40cm model, but once I completed it, I really like it. The difficulty is a bit tougher, because of the small size part, but I would actually recommend beginners to try this first if they were to venture into the world of paper gundam. At least in my opinion, it is easier than SD Wing Zero Custom. It took me only 3 days to build it, and I wasn’t very focus on it as well.

Alright, time for some photos!

Oh I love this. The leg part. I forgot to take a shot of arms… and weapons…

Looks very sharp. The face is a little bit distorted.

I love the shield!

And, that’s all for my sharing . Thanks for reading and until next time, happy building! Labels: Gundam Exia, Papercraft
