Tutorial - How To Make A Paper Model - Part 01 - Sketchup

Hello to all,

Here I start a serie of posts about how to:

1)design a model using Sketchup.

2) unfold this model using Pepakura.

3) apply textures using Mspaint.

I will try to be more objetive as possible and will try not be arrested by kill the English.

Photobucket

I start with a simple model (In the photo above). I make a video (without sound) of this model while I drew this. The video has 5 minutes and you can download it at the end of this post. In this video you learn how to make this simple church: how to "pull" the walls, the turret and the roof , then apply textures on it. In the next post, I will show how to unfold it using Pepakura and save it in .bmp plans or .jpg. Then after this, I will show how to apply real textures (Images taken from photos, like doors, windows, signs, etc), using MsPaint. My models are made this way.

For those who want to follow this tutorial, these free programs are necessary:

1) Sketchup 6 or anterior - ( version 7 and 8 don`t have support to Google Earth files (.kmz), at least in free version.

download: Sketchup.official.page

2) Pepakura Design 3 - I don`t know about other versions, but this version I know is compatible with .Kmz .

download: Pepakura.Official.page

3) MsPaint - If you get the old version (Windows XP), this is better to work that the most recent version. But the most recent also can be used.

download: You already have a version if you use windows. If you use Mac, download a Mac`s MsPaint version here: Paint.Brush.Mac

Locomotive Nº 1 Vintage Paper Model - by Power House Museum


Photobucket

Locomotive No.1 has had a very long and interesting life right here in New South Wales. She arrived from England in 1855 and was soon taking passengers around the town of Sydney.
Loco No.1 has been in the Powerhouse Museum's Collection for 120 years and has been restored most recently in 1980, when a team of dedicated people took 8 years to bring her back to life. In 1988 Loco No.1 took her place on her very own platform near the main entrance foyer inside the museum.

Australian Farm - by Power House Museum - Fazenda Australiana

Photobucket 

This old fashioned model of an autralian farm is presented by Power House Museum.

Our original Australian outback farm set is very old and is kept safely in the museum’s collection. But we’ve copied it, and this set is yours to download and put together.
Kids just like you had no TV and electronic games in the 1920’s, and loved playing games like this on their playroom floors with brothers, sisters and next-door neighbours. We hope you enjoy building these models to display on a shelf, or to play with on your own floor.
Made in Australia in 1921. Patented by Albert Robinson, NSW. Purchased 1983. - text from Power House Museum

Nosso modelo original desta fazenda australiana é muito antigo e raro e é mantido em segurança no Power House Museum . mas nós escaneamos o modelo inteiro, e agora você pode fazer o download e montá-lo em sua casa. As crianças de 1920 não tinham televisão ou jogos eletrônicos, então se divertiam com brinquedos como esse, com os irmãos, irmãs e os vizinhos. Esperamos que você se divirta montando essa fazenda, para expor em sua estante, ou para brincar, como no tempo antigo.
Feito na Austrália em 1921. Patenteadas por Albert Robinson.

Brazilian Touristic Express Paper Model - by CPTM - Expresso Turístico

The Real Thing

The Touristic Express is a rail service was inaugurated in April 18, 2009 by the Office of the Secretary of State for Transport Metros and by CPTM (Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos). Has the objective integrate points of tourist interest located along the railway mesh. The journey is made on board a train, formed by two cars of stainless steel manufactured in Brazil in the 1950 and pulled by a locomotive diesel of CPTM railway tracks.


O trem Expresso Turístico é formado por uma locomotiva a diesel, da CPTM, Alco RS-3 de 1952, que conduz dois carros de passageiros, de aço inoxidável, Budd – Mafersa fabricados no Brasil nos anos 50. Cedidos pela Associação Brasileira de Preservação Ferroviária (ABPF), os vagões foram totalmente restaurados nas oficinas da CPTM. Eles pertenceram à Estrada de Ferro Araraquara (EFA), onde operaram a linha de longo percurso entre São Paulo (Estação da Luz), Campinas, Araraquara, São José do Rio Preto e Santa Fé do Sul. A linha, popularmente conhecida como “Araraquarense”, foi construída originalmente em bitola métrica e aberta em 1898, ligando Araraquara a Itaquerê (atual Bueno de Andrada). Até 1955, só circulavam trens a vapor pela linha, com carros de madeira e composições que saiam de Araraquara. Com o alargamento da bitola, os trens começaram a sair da Luz. Nos anos 1960, quando foram adquiridos os carros Budd-Mafersa, as viagens passaram a ser feitas com carros-dormitório e carros-restaurante. Na Fepasa (Ferrovia Paulista S.A.), esses carros trabalharam até meados de 1998, sendo os últimos trens de passageiros de longo percurso no estado de São Paulo. Os dois carros foram localizados e resgatados pela ABPF em Rio Claro, em meados de 2005, sendo na época solicitada a guarda destes à Rede Ferroviaria Federal SA (RFFSA). Em 2008, ambos foram cedidos para a CPTM com a finalidade de servirem ao Expresso Turístico. Os carros são rebocados por locomotivas a diesel ALCO RS-3, fabricadas no Canadá nos anos 1950 e que ainda servem à CPTM nas atividades de manutenção e apoio à operação. As duas locomotivas foram preparadas pela CPTM recebendo nova pintura e a logomarca do Expresso Turístico.
