 This ain't nothin' but a summer jam
Bronze skin and cinnamon tans whoa
This ain't nothin' but a summer jam
We're gonna party as much as we can
Hey, oh, hey

I made my sumer Pikachu in the style of “Pokemon Love It's Demo” template already:

so now it's time to post the assembled papercraft as well :)

     

The papercraft itself is made up out of different separated parts: a 3D Pikachu female with a 2D 2-sided pink tail, the 3D swim tube, the 3D sea stand, the 3D glass and drink, the 2D heart-shaped glasses, the 3D parasol and the 2D pink flower. All of them can be assembled separate each and added on as an extra, but the main parts are the Pikachu and the swim tube, since the back is bent to fit into the tube.

Since there is always a PDO included, it's not really interesting to explain how to assemble each of them, since it's pretty apparent from the instructions and most of the things are 2D. Maybe the most important part is the female Pikachu itself.

Basically the best way is to start with both ears, feet and hands – build all of those parts separately first, and then start attaching the ears on the head, making and gluig the parts as you go along the body, from top to bottom.

Once you get to the part where you also attach the 2 feet at the bottom, make the 2D tail first before closing the craft. Why? *Pro-tip: Use flat wire and glue it inside the tail, so the wire is in the middle of both sides and it can move and bend in any way, while leaving half of the wire out of the tail, so you can glue it on the inside of the Pikachu body. That way the tail is freely movable and looks good as well (Same can also be done to pose the parasol, since the white handle is hollow – put wire inside it to make it stand or bend to the degree you think looks best, while leaving half of the wire outside the handle to bend it into a circle and make it stand like that. It's the same way I made my parasol stand in the preview pictures as well).

Once you have the tail wire glued inside the body, all you have to do is close is with the last piece of the template that has no flaps on it, and the female Pikachu is done.

Hope you like the pictures and that it inspires you to either assemble a papercraft yourself or go on a relaxing swim in the ocean or any water for that matter. Sumers are just no fun without swimming,  else it's too hot to even blink :D

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Princess Serenity (Sailor Moon) papercraft

Princess Serenity (Sailor Moon) papercraft

As some of the older watchers and supporters may know, I did make a whole Sailor Moon line of papercrafts with their transformation poses, but since they were so outdated and not up to my high design standard anymore, I did remove them from my sortiment.

HOWEVER, I am still a huge fan of Sailor Moon, and it was THE anime that got me started watching anime and falling in love with animation altogether (the old version btw. not the new Crystal remakes XD I am old, I know)! So, I had to at least re-make some of these beauties in the style of the new anime as well, so when I had time I made the one and only Princess Serenity.

          

The papercraft itself is referenced off a cheap selling PVC figure (and by cheap I mean Made-In-China cheap plastic, the figure itself is waaay overprices as all of these anyway), but papercrafts are by faaar a much better resource to make figures if you ask me:

1. Eco-friendly,

2. Artistic and imaginative,

3. Encourages hand-eye coordination + 3D perception,

4. 100% customizable,

5. A LOT cheaper,

6. at least 200% better-looking,

and I could go on and on XD Basically, I wanted to make an elegant pose for Serenity and found this pose that was really dignified and decided to pose her that way and make her sit on the column since it looks so gorgeous.

   

Anyway, the papercraft itself is unfolded to 25 cm and has 11 pages to print. It has a separate 3D model of Princess Serenity (with feet and the whole underbody under the dress) with her 3D hair, 2 pages of double-sided printing for the hair so it looks nice from all sides, some accessories to go along such as the 3D bow, the ribbons, her earrings etc., and the separate 3D column for her to sit on (which is optional, since she could also sit on any elevated flat surface or off a shelf edge really).

One of my best designs by far, definitely in the new top 5 of my favorite and best-looking papercrafts I have ever made. So, I will have to assemble her when I have time as well, so you can see the elegant pose and that really frail light textures from the Crystal anime that I love as well.

I do hope you enjoy till then, and that we get that damn new Sailor Moon season soon!! Been waiting forever XD

Enjoy and happy crafting~
