Walking Papercraft Mech Warrior

Step 20 Final Adjustments

If you find that some parts are not lining up properly, just try gently squishing them (or creasing them) into place, 9/10 times this will work. If you are still having trouble, leave a comment below and I will do what I can to help.

For those interested in the development process of this project, I have attached some bonus pictures of all of the prototypes that led to the final design. There are some additional notes on the pictures for those so inclined to read them.

Thanks for at least reading this far, if you do build the Mech Walker (or even just attempt to) leave a picture in the comments. It's always fun to see other people build things like this.

Hey, thank you for this instructable im looking forward to more like it ;) My brother and I had lots of fun building it. Only problem is with the walking. I have the stuff glued in place but it barely moves. I think I understand it know but whatever its still awesome.

Congratulations; you inspired me to try papercraft with this design. I loved your idea here, but I'm not much of a Mech Warrior fan. So I took your initial design and first changed it into a Star Wars AT-ST. Then, because that wasn't complicated enough, I doubled your mechanism and added gears to make it work for four legs and topped it with an AT-AT. The motion isn't perfect, especially since I had to reverse the mechanism for the back set of legs, but it isn't bad.

Since you said drop a note if we built anything, I thought I'd share. Thanks for the inspiration and foundation!

What computer program did you use to make that?

I used Unigraphics NX 5, but any CAD software should work
