Fire Force chibi group papercrafts

Fire Force chibi group papercrafts

Since I have finally finished all of my “Enen no Shouboutai” aka “Fire Force” chibi papercrafts I made, I decided to do a little group photo to highlight all of them together and to show they all fit as one whole group next to each other.

I made all the main characters of the anime, the whole 8^th division, in chibi form. From left to right you have: Iris, Obi, Tamaki, Shinra, Maki, Hinawa and Arthur.

As you can see, all of them fit together, since they are about 20 cm tall (from toes to head, not counting the hats or pigtails etc.) and all of them are made in the same, simple chibi style. Really easy to do, since the hands are 2D and other parts of the body are also really simple to glue together, yet still look epic because of my drawn textures.

            

All of them can be found in my “Enen no Shouboutai” folder, where you can also see the templates and how many pages each of them have:

Hinawa chibi (Fire Force) built papercraft

Hinawa chibi (Fire Force) built papercraft

My next “Eneno no Shouboutai” papercraft! It's the sniper of the bunch and the one with the “funny” hats and oyaji-gags (old man jokes nobody really finds funny, yet, the language expert in me actually finds them pretty amusing at times, I admit it). It’s chibi Hinawa.

      

As with all my crafts, I always start at the head. Built the face first (with the neck) and then make your way to the back of the head with the hair and 2D 2-sided hair, gluing it where it is shown in the PDO templates. I suggest closing the head at the back neck part of his hair, since it’s the simplest and least visible solutions. Once you got it all done, just add the 2D ears and the glasses as well, making sure to put a small spot of glue on the nose part of the glasses so they hold their place.

Moving on, I made the 2 arms separately first. After you have only the arms done, glue the “stumps” inside the arms at the right angle. And after those are glued, you can glue on the simple 2D 2-sided hands on and bent/curl both thumbs and index fingers to the right pose to hold his gun (see my reference picture above so you know what I mean), and those are done. 

When the arms are done, built the first half of the jacket with the collar. When you got that, glue the arms on the jacket and then slide the neck part (of the built head) inside the hole and glue it up from the inside. Let that part dry good, and when it does, use curled-up waste paper to bulk up that tiny neck of his to prevent it from snapping (it’s a chibi papercraft, so the necks are always the most difficult part, since they are so small and the head disproportionately big).

After that built the remaining jacket part and then move on to the legs. The legs can be assembled separately from the main body, since they fit inside the jacket and it’s easier that way, so do just that. Built the feet from the bottom upwards, first making the boots and make your way up till you reach the last part. In this phase you can fill out or add weights into the feet (if you want to be 100% sure it stands), but he stands pretty good without any help as well. And after you are happy with the feet, simply paste glue on the flaps and glue them on the body at the waste part, adjusting the right angle so he can stand, and there you go.

All that is left is to make the last parts, the separate 3D gun, that you glue in his right hand. Really simple boxy design, so just build that with the help of the PDO and then glue it in the pose and angle you think looks best. And we are done.

            

He is pretty sturdy for a chibi papercraft, if you assemble him right. The neck is “hidden” inside the collar, making the most vulnerable part (the neck) pretty stiff even without extra reinforcing it.

         

I hope you like him (and his jokes, at least sometimes XD) and you’ll get some ideas to assemble a papercraft or two on your own. The template and info about the purchase can be found here:

As always, just sent a private note and let me know if you would like to buy it. In any case, happy crafting~ and "Latom!"
