My most complicated papercraft model yet: Samus

This is my 8th papercraft model I've built. Took a little over two weeks of on and off building. Made with 32 lb paper (not quite cardstock, but much sturdier than printer paper) and Aleene's Original Tacky Glue to hold it together. Here's where I found the template for those who want to try it: http://nintendo-papercraft.com/samus-aran-complex/

This is what I started with. 347 pieces in total. surgical scissors and an exacto were my best friends.

Started off with the helmet. Without a pair of tweezers for some of the smaller details I would have given up real quickly.

Torso complete, time to move on to the arms.

Closeup of the cannon arm. One of the easier parts of the model, so it was nice ot move on to.

Non-cannon arm.

I was really proud of how the hand turned out. Again, I cannot express the importance of those tweezers enough.

Everybody needs a nice set of shoulder pauldrons.

One of the legs. I never knew just how pointy her knees were. After finishing both of the legs it's time for final assembly.

"It's just a flesh wound! I've had worse..."

Arms on, still looking a little bare without those massize WoW-like shoulders.

And done. This is by far the most complex papercraft I've attempted, but I'm looking forward to other challenges soon.
