I'M BACK

How long has the hiatus been since American Apathy... I think about 1 - 1.5 years. When working at CIMB I pick up a habit that since now I'm jobless I continue that habit and eventually some idea popped up when I woke up (a few times as well). Seriously.

Hence this is a project that involves no or very few planning (dude, when ideas pop out of your head the moment you open your eyes waking up). I do sketch more or less what I "see", but then since the material is so flexible I can recycle it a gazillion time I want if the design doesn't come out as I like and I can re-mold them however I want. Damn, I feel like Sam Winchester, I got "visions" lol...

Some details to cut things short. Paperazzi involves:

1. An ultra heavyweight case (server-like case) thats why it involves paper not Bondo

2. Tools: scissors, gripping glue, spray paint, poster color, a bit of acrylic, water

3. Material: A4 paper, new or old all become my victims (count in buckets)

So far one side panel is 70% thru molding. Plunked remaining material on 2nd side panel but tak cukup dammit. Since the piktars arent ready yet, I'll keep you guys guessing I'll post some piktars tomorrow. Not at home right now and even if I'm at home, no screamyx.

All hail me, the God of Fd Up Mods. Bow.




Oooh... whitened bull's testicles soaked in porridge anyone?

well im lookin forward

Testing

Did a few tests with different containers. Firstly curves and circles.





Circles are done by just molding it around a disc. Here you can see the paper's rough n not well soaked (first few buckets). Made some horns out of it, or spikes, or.. whatever.







After testing, its a test mold. Eventually I molded it for a few nights for something like this.



Scraped it though cos it looks like and old lady's shoes, minus the smell. So chucked everything I've tested and made into the container for re-soak.



Soak it up...

Side Panel Part 1

With vision comes the sketch. I have to, before I start forgetting. Then wrap it up in some plastic for reuse






Looks easy aint it? All I have to do is plop some paper pulp on it and its done. Not. Had a very un-fun fun with mr steel ruler for about 10-15 minutes. Not once, but 4 times dammit






Then to lay them up on the side panel one by one to determine the shape and position. Mold up the top part which absurdly looks different from the sketch as I didnt realize how hard it is to mold around tight ass areas which really are a pain in the ass




Here.. compare reptile-skin paper with smooth pulp. I basically have to refine most of the molds.






Went up to this few days ago




Went up to this yesterday morning before I leave the house and created this worklog

Side Panel Part 2

Since its too bare and the thing at the sides looks like
- duck's feet
- stumpy dwarf's sword

I need something on top that sorta extend the 3D thing or uh.. well I don't know how to put it in words. Just another vision I had while waking up. OK, ribcage.




Now, I have to pick something of the right size to mold it on. Modding Idol... From left to right: kiap kiap lenglui, mother of 2, and finally grandmother. Of course pick kiap kiap lenglui lar, else pick grandma meh?




Some plastic, tape... SM the idol, chuck in some paper pulp and further it with an even more un-fun fun with mr ruler






Resources running low. Dammit. And luckily some back up, which is just... "some"... for the scale of the mod






I just left the house few hours ago with about 10 pieces of paper snipped into fine pieces in the bucket. I'll wait for the water to clear up before letting them go for a dip as its coffee-colored now due to some pipe fixing in Subang from 12-6am yesterday. Sonowabeetch.

Damn really God Of Fd Up Mods . . . u really cracked ur head just to come up with this idea i guess. Reminds me of making a mask with baloon at highschool . U really have the patince and most of all, skillz . Cmon cmon, more pics, can wait for more . . . lookin damn cun so far. NIce molding of design's, cheap and easy to get sources mod . . . *SAVE THE EARTH*

This is really an original...I've seen some made with carbonfibre or bondo..
can't wait for the mod.....

(speechless...)

Dude this is some good sheat...Nice job bro..

Bro TS, the title should put:GREEN PEACE CASING.
hahaha.really admire your skill

Thanks for the compliments but I'm not workin on it today or the next 2 days. Just balled another one, which is much bigger than the previous ball. Something like.. um, Godzilla's balls instead of bull's... eheh... Will be back

maaaaaaaaaaann.... this is looking real good....

Acey, ive always liked ur style of modding and ur taste in arts (i.e skulls etc etc...)


so i SERIOUSLY hope that u actually finish the mod this time. PLEASE!!!

new ideas in case modding.

real nice idea.

... (speechless)

can commission you to mod my casing? wow... love the dragon (or what you call it) thingie.

LOL there's no dragon la brother... I just mold whatever I see when I wake up.. you wouldnt want me to start cutting your case that explains why I dont do much cuttings on this one even the side panel.

Updates: stall for 2 days, waiting for the paper ball to dry and resoak. So damn bored got nth to do I'm helping out at fren's pc shop lol.

nice mod bro...waiting to see the result...cambateh...

NiiiCeee!!! (said borat).. Very creative..looking foward your project.. Anyway,i suggest u not to use that DOVE spray thingy coz the cap is easily get stucked. I bought 2 of them and totally useless...try use other brands...cheers..

Thank you thank you. Thats the last Dove spray I got and I dont plan to use silver on this case so gonna try better spray, thanks for the advice anyways

Side Panel Part 3

Finally the big ass ball is hardened and spent a couple of minutes killing it. It floats actually, which caught me offguard cos I thought it'll take in the water and "drown" lol.








Now I have almost a full bucket of paper to work with.




Decided to scrap the original rib sketch and mold cos its kinda waste of time to do it both sides and then to combine them. So a new sketch which makes both sides into one, currently one is up, getting another tonight after work.




Found this foam at the shop during re-stock of HDDs, which another "vision" came lmao while i was smoking.




So took a knife and cut it to get the shape, took it home and place it on top of my other side panel. Ok it works, now I need a drawing block to trace it cos I don't wanna use the foam.








Spend about 1/2 hour to paste up the other side panel




Thats about all for yesterday. More tonight cos I need to do another sketch for the main side panel. Still a long way to go for that panel.

Updates: Hmm, my friend just donated a lot of material for me... look at this stash of ECS instruction booklet lol...
