So now you can see her assembly and how cute she looks in real as well :)

*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:

As with all of these humanoid papercrafts, it can be divided into smaller separate parts you can built and then put together, to make it easier to assemble. So, you can divide it into: the head with the neck and hair, The torso with the upper arms, the hands and underarms, the 2 skirts, the legs and the 2 2-sided fans.

As with all of my papercrafts, I always start with the head. Build the face and the head around + the neck and then glue the front hair bangs on the face part. After, build the whole back part of the hair and then assemble the 3D hair tail with the blue orb separate, and glue it on the head before you starting closing it up with the long strains of hair. Once you take care of that, glue each long hair strain on there, one at a time, and close it with the last part (anyone will do). All that is left to do is to glue the mics (ears, hair decoration on).

When you finish the whole head, it’s time to start the torso. The upper neck part has 3 parts you need to make first. Assemble the neck decorations BUT don’t close them at the back, so you are able to slide them on the neck at the end. Put the parts aside, and assemble the first upper part of the torso to about half of the breasts. Then glue on the upper arms on there, and then slide in the folds of the heads neck part, so you are able to glue it in nicely and additionally reinforce it with rolled-up leftover paper from the cut-out, to make it sturdier and really holding it together. Once the neck is glued on the torso part, slide the neck decorations on there, glue the back parts together and build the remaining parts of the torso on there till you get to the waist.

Now you can start assembling the 2 hands, the 2 fans and the 2 sleeves of the arms, all separately. Once you have all 3 arm parts, you can simply glue the hands inside the sleeves and then the sleeves on the torso part with the head you did before. Since the parts have flaps and can just be glued on like that, you can make it really easy to assemble that way AND you can adjust the angle of how the arms are, so you really get it right. And when the glue dries really good on there, you can glue on the fans inside her hands as well.

Next you have 2 layers of her dress. Build each one separately, by starting to pre-bend the parts of the frills as indicated in the PDO file. Takes a bit of time, but if you really take the time, bend it with a lineal really neatly and glue it precisely, you get a really wonderful frilly girly dress that looks the same as in the anime. So, important to take time in this step.

Leave the dresses for now and glue the last part, the legs, together. Start at the bottom and make your way up. Again, you can divide the leg part into the boots and into the thighs with the panties, to make it simpler. Build each of those 4 parts and glue them together at the knee part with the flaps. And before anything, fill up the boots with some weights here, to make her really stand firmly (*Pro-tip: I always suggest smaller pebbles, since they are small enough to fit and heavy enough to help with the weight as well, without rupturing the paper itself).

Now, all that is left to do is glue the torso, the 2 dresses and the legs all together with the flaps in the waist part of each part. Be sure to first glue on the 2 dresses and lastly the legs, because then you can adjust the angle again to make sure it can stand firmly.

And voilà, done :)

Zundamon papercraft

Zundamon papercraft

A somewhat older character that's been really around in the UTAU/Vocaloid community is this one called »Zundamon«. It is mostly depicted as a bunny-edamame-type anime animal, but it also has her cute girly form as well (actually she is supposed to be sexless as I am reading this up, but most people depict her as a girl), looking like this :) And because it was one of the things my watches suggested me to make into a papercraft, I did just that. So here you got the preview.

   

The papercraft itself is unfolded to 18 cm and has 3 pages to print out. The fiddly parts would be the hands (as always) as well as her hair tail (which I would also suggest to reinforce from the inside with curled-up leftover cut-out paper, so it doesn’t fall off, since it’s very thin). Else, since the outfit is kinda frilly, you can easily divide the assembly into at least 4 separate parts, so it’s easier to make. You got the blank PDO included in it (as with all of my papercrafts) anyway, so just look at the preview and you’ll see what can be done.

And since I had the time, I also made the assembly, so you can view the built model and read some tips along the way as well.

    

*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:

As with all of my papercraft, divide the craft into separate parts you can glue together at the end, to make the assembly easier. You can divide it into: the head, the blue coat, the arms, the torso with the white shirt, the dark blue pants, the 2 legs and the Rotom phone.

Start by making the face part and glue the front hair bangs on the face flaps. Once you have that, glue on the neck and then glue the backside of the hair, starting from top to bottom.

Put these aside, and make the separate blue coat and the separate arms and the Rotom phone. As you can see in the preview, I made the easy variant of the Rotom phone, and not the 3D, since you can simply glue the front and backside together to make a 2D simple version of it as well.

Then, put those aside and start making the torso part with the shirt, by gluing each part on there at the neck downwards. And when you have the torso with the head done, put some glue on the remaining flaps of the white shirt and glue on that blue coat you made before, and when it dries, glue the 2 arms on there at the right angle. This way, you don’t need to make the coat fit the torso precisely and it is way easier to make and looks nicer as well.

Then, you can make the dark blue pants next and when you have then, put them aside and glue the 2 legs with the shoes together. Best way is to glue those from bottom to top, and when they are assembled, put glue on the flaps of the thighs (legs) and glue them inside the pre-made pants and make sure you glue them at the right angle. That way, it’s easier again, and you can adjust the angle of the 2 legs so the papercraft can stand at the end.

When you are ready with the top and bottom part and want to join them together, I do suggest you put in some weights inside the legs before you glue them, because she will stand easier and nicer, without having to balance the 2 parts at the end to make it straight.

*Pro-tip: I always say, the best weights I found for papercraft are small pebbles. They are small enough to fit inside the papercraft parts you want to weight down, they don’t rip up the paper or deform it, and at the same time they weight just enough to make the craft stand like an ace. Really neat to use those, trust me and try it :D

And when you have the weights in, put glue on the flaps of the end of the white shirt and join the 2 parts at the right angle, putting them on a flat surface and balancing them out to make it stand that way.

At the end, you can glue on the various add-ons, such as the Rotom phone in her hand, the simple yellow bag, her necklace and the hairpin, and it’s finished.

If you assemble any of them, please share the finished papercraft pictures in a post, a shared link, a tag to my page, or send pictures to me, so I can post them on my page. I am always happy to see anybody assembling my art :)***

                  

I really hope you are enjoying the new Pokemon anime as much as I am and you will be able to assemble her and show the pictures of the finished thing as well, because I really love seeing the pictures shared :)

Do enjoy and happy crafting~
