Pepakura Bork Cube Texture 1

The title says it all...
here is a "Bork" cube texture, slap-dashed together in Gimp over a half hour.
Of course, you could combine this with other Gimp effects, and layer this into something else -
I intend to make some printed on decal paper or silk-highgloss at the local printers/officewerks.
A lot of locals that play borg want a cube, at a decent scale, and can't afford either the Warp Models,
the Wizkids or even similar options to the prototype cubes/kitbashes I've made -
SO!

"Pepakura+" to the rescue! = )
The texture will allow for the illusion of depth, and you can optionally add the tactical cube armor,
the added benefit, of being able to make the cube flat, yet decent for display.
It is hoped the cellophane/screenprinting and decal lazer printed sheets, will also produce some awesome lighting effects - all while being under the ~$20USD price point
(that people feel is much more reasonable - 1 hours work, instead of a week's pay).

I'm hoping that, we can also cut out segments of the corflute, and use some satin/translucent materials (just as the original physical models did) to help see 'inside' the pepakura + cube.

And, of course, the end-user can use the cubeish model to then customise to their taste.

(Above: a variant of Bork-ish cube, for you to remix as you like - it must be absolutely freely. CBS is awesome, Trek fans are awesomer)

(Above: a dirtier approach made by a local Borg Gamer from the local game store - pure awesome, if not a little too 'regular'. detail elements again from Sirius Replicas)

Use this as an underlay decal, and then customise over it or around it?
print 6 of them, and you've a cube.

So, the above is a sample, using the nyquist "QMaze" and "circuit" command from GIMP, followed by successive layering and depth merging, and "Overlay" "Difference" "Screen" "Multiply" brush commands over successive layers.
A final blur in the mid layer of the 'green' produces the distinctive greenish-yellow-white,
and some custom brush erases leave the patterns seen.

I will later translate some of the Powerpoint clip art into 'greeblies' that can be super-imposed and depth merged in between the circuit and the lighted layers.
And, luckily, someone has already made the large tactical cube pepakura. (though, in a rather blue-d metal color... easily color corrected)

If this side project goes well - this decoupage method will be how a larger object,
such as the Queen Octahedron/Diamond, or the Unimatrix/Nexus, Unicomplex... (in 1-5000 scale, they got Terok Nor, and a Warp Models starbase... it's only fair the Borg get their stuff too)
those larger bork objects will be made this way.
In-home 3D printing just isn't as reliable, consistent or as affordable as many would wish for projects of that scale at this time... in timeframes which can be measured in hours and minutes, with costs in the tens of dollar...

Thanks - for the inquiries, for making the tetrahedrons, pylons and other borgish stuff so popular,
and for the interest - the Borg fanbase are AWESOME!
