[Papercraft free]Overwatch: Tracer Paper Model

 

Overwatch is my current go-to game for wasting large amounts of time if I've got nothing else to do. The art style is bright, well designed and not overly complex, making it feasible for me to edit the models into forms suitable for papercrafting. Does this mean I'll make more? Err we'll see. This one may have been more trouble than it was worth. After all the work, she will not stand up on her own, and my own build was pretty messy in places. Some Photoshoppery hides a few blemishes in these pics. :shh:

This model took me forever to do. Built over 6 weeks in Nov-Dec 2016, it underwent many revisions. So many that my instructions...fell apart. So sadly this model has no detailed instructions. Sorry! It is provided as PDO files only, because you need the 3D reference and do not want to be just guessing from a PDF, trust me. The PDO contains all the sheets (remember to turn the lines off before printing), including part numbers and a planned build order similar to my final one. I have also included some extra tips and reference photos to help. If you spot any obvious errors, please let me know, and I'm always able to help you out if you have any questions or problems.

The visor requires a creative solution so I included a guide to how I finally got mine to work as a transparent piece with an opaque, printed rim.

See below for the template download links, which contain all you need to print and build your own version! Additional info can be found within the download file and on PDO #1. Any other questions, feel free to ask here.
