This papercraft template preview was already posted on my page here:

So now you can see how it looks like assembled and I can give some basic assembly tips along the way as well, so here we go.
*As with any of my papercraft templates, the blank PDO is always included in these files, so you help yourself with the 3D preview in Pepakura to assemble it, but I like to post a bit of experience I have with building papercrafts to maybe make things easier for less experienced papercrafters and share ideas on how to make it simpler :)
ASSEMBLY TIPS:
The papercraft consists of many smaller, separate parts, so they can all be made separate and are optional. The main parts are: the 3D Ootori-sama figure, 3 3D heads of Ootori-sama, 2 3D bath buckets, the 3D bath, the 3D stand as well as the 2D accessories 2 washcloths and 1 hat leaf. So you can start with any of them.
The 3D stand is a simple cylinder shape that you can close with the bottom part. It’s bigger so you probably need to fill it up with leftover paper or something sturdier, like cardboard, so it’s nice and flat and holds all the pieces together. That’s the only thing you need to think about with this one.
The bath is also a simple cylinder shape that you also close at the bottom. It doesn’t really need any reinforcement like the stand itself, but you do have the optional 2D splashed of water that you glue on the sides as decoration and that are pre-bent to fit the shape of the bath edge, so that’s the thing you need to watch out here.
Then you have the main Ootori-sama standing model that you best assemble from top to bottom. Make the beak first and when you have that, move to the top of the head and make your way to where the beck is and glue it in there and then make the rest of the head. When you have the head, make the 2 flippers/arms on his side first, separately, and make your way from the head you did till you get to the points where you glue the flippers on and simply close the bird at the bottom. At the end of it, you can add the 2D feet on him and glue the optional cloth in his flipper or glue/put the leaf hat on him and he’s done.
The 3 optional heads you do the same way you did the standing Ootori-sama. Make the beak separately, then start gluing the head from top to bottom and glue the beak on and close it at the end.
And lastly you also have the 2 optional buckets. They consist of 2 parts in the PDO, so make the inner side first. When you have the inner side, glue the edge on first (you will probably need to trim down the flaps a bit to make it fit on there, since the edge is pretty narrow as is) and then glue on the outer part and lastly close it at the bottom. All that is left to do is glue on the optional decorations on the buckets outer side at the right spot (as shown in the PDO) and all the parts are done.
*Note: The papercraft template includes 3 separate Ootori-sama heads in the bath, I just made pictures of 2 of them, but all 3 look the same (and are assembled the same way).
***This is a premium papercraft that you need to purchase in order to receive the PDF and blank PDO files for assembly. – You can find all information about the PayPal purchase in the provided upper outgoing link.***
Hope you like the cute little yellow duckies, enjoy and happy crafting~
