Cardcaptor Sakura (Clear card) papercraft



As promised, I am releasing my final papercraft of Cardcaptor Sakura before my long summer vacation. And here is the beauty.
 
As you can see, all hand-made and hand-painted (so to speak, the texture is all mine). The Sakura and Kero-chan models are a bit more detailed than I am used to make, since I unfolded the whole thing to a whooping 45 cm, since I really wanted this craft to have a genuine anime figure feel to it.

The papercraft itself consists of a "Sakura" model of the newest -Cleard card-hen- story arc, "Kero-chan", a "stand" for Sakura, her new "Dream rod" and the dress as well as the transformed "flight card" she used in the most iconic screen from the whole anime (wings and the star dress).

She has quite some smaller 2D details: all the small stars from her dress are made as a sepparate 2D piece to glue on, her hair is attached on her head as 2 pieces (2-sided), her tie is also 2D and 2-sided, her dress is 2-sided, etc etc. Kero-chan is also dressed in the iconic bow and keychain he had during that sceene as well, to fit the whole image, of course :)

The wings of the flight card as well as Kero-chans and the Dream rod wings are also 2D and 2-sided, making the big flight ties with the bow somewhat difficult to make. I definetly suggest to make it with wire and reinforced inner parts. I do that with all my crafts, so really people, make them reinforced and you will never have a mishap, if it ever falls down, and the pieces will never fall appart, ever XD

The stand for this model, if you will want to make it, has to definelty be filled as well, if you want her to stand in it. But I made the craft so that it is meant for Sakura and Kero-chan to fly in "real", therefore the craft should be made for hanging from the ceiling or anywhere you like really :)

I won't lie, the papercraft is difficult to make (would say a 9/10), but definetly worth all the effort in the end. She is super sweet, textures are perfect and detailed to every part alinging from the real anime design and overall it looks and feels like a real figurine you would buy for yourself, if you are as huge of a fan of Cardcaptor Sakura as I am XD

I hope you like it and cheer for me during my summer vacation. I will return with many more ideas in my head when I get back, so look forwad to more of my projects in the future. 

Enjoy~
