Papercraft Designer Profile : Wanda Bachtiansyah

The photos above is Gundam Kyrios built by Ario Fitrianto designed by Wanda Bachtiansyah.And he admitted this one his masterpiece yet in paper model design. He already began his desire on this hobby since he's in 1st Elementary School. He said his first built as long as he can remember was Voltus papercrat. In year 1990 he was introduced to Angkasa magazine and he began made air plane paper model. And went he went to high school at STM Negeri 1 Bekasi (now known as Cikarang Barat) he and his class mate formed a community called ZERO that focused on air plane paper model. When he joint this community he also made Julius Perdana AH 64 Apache about 3 m long. And in 1999 he joined PRC (Paper Replica Club), this club was developed under Angkasa magazine. In PRC he entered Education Division, so his job was to teach paper model to PRC member or non member. He also spread his experience when Angkasa held an exhibition or an event in school or other places.

Since Elementary School he already learned to designed paper model. But his design back then was still rough and he polished it when he joined PRC. He actually did not remember his first design, but he can remember his last design that was published by Angkasa, it was  Messerschmitt ME 262 on Buku Membuat Pesawat Model. About his achievement in this hobby he once built 600 paper plane model for souvenir order along with his 2 friends. And he also built a full airport plane in 1/144 scale and 1 cm F-14 Tomcat(maybe this model it's the tiniest one he ever made).

Right now at the age of 32  he already married with one children. And for the last 8 years he's been living at Batam. He said there were many people already infected by his paper model virus and right now he is trying to spread those virus in Batam. His target that this virus someday will reach Singapore and Malaysia.

PERI @ Hot Game Ville

From 25 till 27 March 2011, PERI attended HotGame Ville event which held at the new shopping center Gandaria City. From photo above from left to right (Rizky,Ricco,Roy,Julius,Yudhi Kistyarto and Beta) At this event that I finally meet PERI Makassar member Yudhi Kistyarto. He took annual leave from his daily job at Makassar Airport and have the time to meet with other PERI member especially PERI Jabodetabek.

And you can see some of the completed paper models that PERI showed at the event. Unfortunately the event is too focused on Online Games so the spectator can not see other exhibitor. Although I cannot blame this since Hot Game is one of the most well known Game magazine in Indonesia. Maybe in other event we can attract more participants from the spectator so the people will get to know and involve to paper model.

DO OR DO NOT. THERE IS NO TRY

Little green man named Yoda once said that to Luke Skywalker during his training to master the force in Star Wars Original Trilogy. I believed that wisdom word that I always use in this hobby. In my pursuit to become a fine paper model builder that it's skills can match or overcome the quality of plastic model.  Always put these words in your mind, DO IT. THERE IS NO TRY.

The photos above was taken on my last PERI gathering on Julius Perdana's home.Mr Adhi are the eye behind the digital camera and boy do he really enjoyed it. This was my first ever commercial paper model. I said to myself if I never tried to buy and built my own commercial paper model I will never notch my skills up in cutting, trimming, making tank tracks or heavy weathering that I did on my latest diorama. I called PANTHER G at the Checkpoint. The model was GPM Nr 40 and the checkpoint was GPM bonus.

At last for those of you who want to do the same techniques that I used on my last project like above you should visit my articles on perikertas.com about PAINT and GLUE. Remember DO OR DO NOT. THERE IS NO TRY
