Aggressive Retsuko (Aggretsuko) built papercraft



Wanted to share another built papercraft by me, from the awesome mini-anime series Aggressive Retsuko I did a while back :) I did both versions of her (normal and metal), so you can see how both look like as in the papercraft PDF file. 

I started the craft again as I always do, from top to bottom. Making the ears first, since she has 2 little locks of fur on both sides, I did that first and made both ears. After that I made the snout, the whole head, piece after piece, gluing around the snout and ears to make the big head. 

After that I made her hands. The first normal Retsuko has small round hands, but the metal Retsuko has 2 fingers up, so it's a bit fiddlier to make. So I did the hands and build it up to her arms and upper torso to the end of her blouse. Why this? Because as I explained in a PRO TIP if a character has a double-sided skirt or any kind of skirt for that matter, that is real heaven to make, since it's super simple to join it just at the hips, with no complications where to close it. So I attached the upper torso with the hands on her head and made my way to make her feet. 

Now since we know we can easily join her at the hips, I made the legs from feet till hips and tail, since you can help yourself with the last pieces with the open edge at the top, where you will glue her together. So I made the legs, tail and attached the feet part with the double-sided skirt and at the end really simply attached her together at her waist part. And there she was :) And she looks so life-like I love it :D

She is about 22cm tall, both of them actually, and although she has a really large head, like in the anime, she stands without any reinforcement, because she has her feet and the extra tail, which is also thouching the ground and gives extra support at the end :) You can however reinforce her neck part with the torso, since it can snap easily because of the big head in proportion to the body. 

And I made the metal Retsuko so accurate and super sweet-looking, by boyfriend wanted to get her for his office no matter what :D So the metal one is now busy in her office place, working away as in the anime XD such irony. 

Retsuko screams and cries / confused 
Anyway, for those interested in the template, you can get info on how to get it here: 


Happy crafting~
