Princess Serenity (Sailor Moon) built papercraft



I said that it's one of the most beautiful crafts I have made to date, so of course I also had to assemble her to prove the point. This is Princess Serenity in the style of the new Crystal anime they are making the remakes of. – Can’t wait for the new movies to come out in 2023 XD They better not keep me waiting!

The papercraft basically consists of a separate Serenity model and the column she sits on (that is optional, she can basically sit on any shelf or box really). So, I started by making the face and neck part first, and then the back of the head and left 1 piece out to close it at the end. Next, you assemble both hair tails together and glue them on the head – really fiddly precise work, so take your time with it. And close the head with the last remaining strip. *Pro-tip: When I glued the tails on the head, I also took a few wires and jammed them in, to extra reinforced the parts where the tail sticks on the head to make it sturdy and not falling off, just in case.

The hair is really the most complex part of the assembly, so I definitely recommend this papercraft for more advanced papercraft buyers, since the tails are so delicate.

Next, I assembled both arms with the puffy sleeves separately, so I could glue them on next. Then, make the part with the shoulders and glue the arms on there. – Again, for more experienced builders, because you have to work with the upside-down head and the tails hanging from the head (else you can’t glue the tails on correctly if you do the tails last, so these HAVE to go on first).

Once you have the upper torso, you can make your way in making the separate golden rings on her bussom and then glue those on. From there, you need to glue all the remaining parts of the dress and the fiddliest parts are done.

All that remains is to make the back-bow and the inner legs separately. Once each of them is done, simply glue them on the right place, the legs with the remaining flaps and put them at the right angle inside the dress, and the bow at the backside (which can also be a bit fiddly, since the bow is so big. Make sure it is bent the right way, as shown in the PDO, so you have space to glue in between the 2 hair tails and glue it on with a lot of glue and patience).

Princess Serenity is now done and you can also assemble the column so she can sit on it (no glue needed, but you can glue her on there if you want) or place her anywhere dangling from a shelf.

Very fiddly work, but soo, sooo rewarding, because she looks absolutely stunning and 100% figurin-esk – that’s why I fell in love with papercrafts in the first place. A real treat for any real Sailor Moon papercraft-enthusiasts out there.

Etna (Disgaea) papercraft



Since the new Disgaea 6 came out this year and the game series is so amazing, I had to pay tribute and make my favorite characters out of the game and anime alike. So here she is in all her glory :)

:bulletred: :bulletred: :bulletred: :bulletred: :bulletred: 

The papercraft looks pretty straightforward, since I made her based on the new clothing design from series 6. The craft consists of a 3D model of Etna herself, a separate skirt, separate belts for her arms and waist, a simple 2D tail, her 3D spear that she uses and which I think looks totally badass and a simple stand to make her the focal point of your papercraft display when you make her.

The unfold consists of 12 pages to print, including the optional stand, and is unfolded to a 38 cm height (so Etna herself is about 35 cm with the hair spikes). Since the design of her is pretty slim, the assembly is probably a bit more tedious than other humanoid papercrafts, since of the slender arms and legs and those 3D bracelets and small pieces on that, not to mention the spiky hair. So, although the purchase includes all the different PDF types and the blank PDO for assembly reference, this is definitely recommended for more experienced papercraft builders. The arms, legs and neck probably have to be reinforced from the inside with curled-up paper to hold the pieces together, and weights put inside the legs as well.

For anybody up to the challenge, it’s a premium papercraft for sale, as written in the description, that you can buy by contacting me in a private note. And when time allows, this cutie will definitely be assembled by me to make a preview of her, together with her other cute partners to come :)

:bulletred: :bulletred: :bulletred: 

Hope you like the papercraft, and enjoy the games. They are so fun to play, I love them! Enjoy and happy crafting~
