Nazuna (Yofukashi no Uta) built papercraft



With the anime coming to an end, it’s also time to reveal the assembly pics of the Nazuna papercraft as well ;) So, here we go!

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

Now, from the beginning on I need to clear a thing: The preview pictures have 2 versions of Nazuna, the one with the coat, and the one without a coat. You need to decide what version you like best, and start the assembly from there, since the coat cannot be taken off once glued on, because of the bent left hand. Or you can make 2 of them from the premium templates, however you choose.

The papercraft can be divided into separate parts to make it easy glued together, so you make the head, the torso with the pants and legs, the 2 arms, the 2 boots and the 2-sided 2D hair braids and optional coat. You use the included PDO file I send along with the purchase, so it’s not that hard as it looks, just follow that.

Option with no coat: Once you have the head with the 2D braids on and the ears, you glue those flaps of the neck to the pre-made torso with the arms you assembled. Since the neck goes inside the black shirt neck part, it’s easily just glued on at the right angle like that. Next, you glue on the remaining boots that you filled with some weights to make it stand better, glue it on the flaps at the right angle to make sure it stands, and you are done. All you need to do is to glue on the remaining 2D belt and she is done.

Option with coat: Basically, you do the same process as the one without the coat, but when you do the torso, you leave out the 2 arms for last. Once you have the full body (with no arms), you can make the separate coat but leave out the last upper part above the neck, since that needs to be glued on the Nazuna model herself. Slide the coat on the body and glue the last neck part of the coat around there to make it attached and sitting on her shoulders. All that is left to do is to take the 2 arms, put glue on the flaps, and stick them inside the coat and glue them at the right angle. Since the arms are not visible on the inside and the coat cannot be taken off, you can just glue them on like that, nice and easy.

And there you go. All done :D

Dejiko (Di Gi Charat) papercraft



Just look at this adorable cat-maid cutie!!! This is the new anime adaptation of the anime »Di Gi Charat« that came out yeeears ago and is now again being adapted to a new show named »Reiwa no Di Gi Charat« that is starting this October. So, since I love the anime so much, I wanted to be the first to make it before the start of the new series and here she is :)

:bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: 

If you compare it to the old design of Dejiko (as the main protagonist is called), she is quite more mature and grown-up as the old one, as well as having a much more detailed dress and cosplay props and has a different, much more pastel and settle color-palette. I actually based this design off the few preview illustrations of the new anime as well as the new Vtuber MMD model of her that way launched this year as well and is hugely popular in Japan. The pose is also referenced from a preview picture shown in the Vtuber Dejiko stream. So, it’s kind of a mixture of both, while making her in my own papercraft style as well. 

:bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: 

The papercraft template itself is unfolded to 20 cm and has 6 pages to print. It consists of a main 3D model of Dejiko and her 3 3D bells that are just glued on like that as well as some 2D 2-sided bows for details.

The dress part actually consists of 3 layers of skirts, since the design of Dejiko is that way. So, this way the papercraft can be split into at least 2 parts to make the assembly simpler. You can divide it to make the head with the 3D hair, the hat, the gloves, the arms, the dress part with the first layer of the apron, the second layer with the blue dress, the third layer with the white frills, and then the legs all separate and then just glue them on one by one to make the built really simple.

The papercraft doesn’t really have any smaller, fiddly parts, except maybe the smaller 3D bell on the neck, the 2 fingers on the gloves and maybe the back pointy hair parts. The 3 layers of the dress do need to be pre-bent a bit to make them look nice and frilly as well, so I would probably give this a 5 or 6/10 on a assembly difficulty scale, depending on how well you are versed in making humanoid papercrafts.

In any case, I hope I hyped the coming of the new updated Di Gi Charat anime a bit and that you’ll give it a go in watching it :) Look forward to seeing her cuteness on screen in the assembly preview I already made as well and that's going to be posted as soon as I can.

Hope you enjoy and happy crafting~
