Anyone who has followed my progress on past paper model projects knows it is a very long process.
This os the first of several more prototypes that need to be constructed in order to fine tune the details and geometry. Then I must create the construction diagrams and write the instructions, which takes quite a while.
Bottom line...completion will not be before mid winter.
UPDATE: December 22,2013- I've received many inquiries about the status of this particular blog post. In more recent posts I explained that this model kit is essentially dead in the water. Warner Bros will not permit me to release Wizards Crag (as a free download or purchase) without it being an officially licensed product. Unfortunately I have been unable to find an interested licensee. Without a license, I risk legal action by the owners of the properties.

Outstanding! As a graphic artist myself I have to say, "You Rock!" I and my little girl are thrilled to have found your site.
ReplyDeleteI just saw this. I notice this last post with pictures was back in Dec 2010. Since we are now near the end of Feb 2011 I was just wondering how the progress of this is coming along. This looks to be a great paper model and right up my alley. I can hardly wait.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDelete@LostBoy - I am currently in the tedious, time consuming process of creating the construction diagrams. It expect it to be several more weeks before completion.

ReplyDeleteRay, you said back in February that the process of making the model would take few more weeks. It's now July 5th and we haven't heard anything from you. Is everything all right? I hope that soon we shall see this published for us to enjoy putting together. Hope all is well and you are just taking your time to make a more perfect model for us to play with.

Reading up on the issues with Universal and it is very sad so far. Hopefully things will work out. I would love to have this one, or heck purchase it. (I just want it so I can use it as a template. LOL I see gingerbread all over this thing. ^_~) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThis looks A.MAZ.ING!!! I wish that it could be downloaded, though. :(
