Chibi Sakura Miku built papercraft



I already posted the template preview of this cutie and you can view it here:

And now you also have the assembly preview and some tips along the way.

*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:

Best to start it, as with any of my crafts, is at the top and make your way down to the bottom. So, you can divide the assembly into many smaller parts that can be made separate from each other. You got: the 2 braids, the head, both arms, both hands, the legs, the 2D add-ons and then you glue all together to the torso.

So, start by making both braids, starting from bottom to top. When you have those, set side and glue together the face and the front bangs. Then, glue on the braids on the front bang flaps and make sure to additionally glue it on with a strong tape, since it will fall off coz it’s only attached with 2 flaps for now. Glue on the remaining parts of the head/hair on, making sure to neatly glue on the braids and close with the neck.

Next, you can make the simple 2D hands and then the arms. Glue on the hands on the arms, and then make the first part of the top torso part. There, you need to glue on the 2 arms you already made. Glue on the remaining 2 parts of the torso and once you have the whole torso, glue on the neck with the head on there.

Then comes the dress and legs part, which are both done separately and then glued together at the hips part of the craft and you simply join them together at the right angle. Since the craft stands on both legs and has both braids very long, dragging on the floor, the Chibi Miku will be able to stand without any additional help or weights.

All that needs to be done now is to add the various sakura flowers, the simple 3D flower in her hand, the tie and the belt and you are done.

Hope you like how it looks at the end and that you’ll try to make a craft or 2 of your own. It’s a super fun hobby you won’t be able to quit once you start, believe me :D

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Boss Borot (Mazinger Z) papercraft commission


This! This baby is from a whooping 50-year-old anime that I bet nobody remembers, since the original one, including this mecha, came out in 1972! Damn, that’s an old anime XD Of course I am talking about the grandfather of all mecha anime that came after, the one and only “Mazinger Z” series.

This badass is called “Boss Borot”, officially Boss Robot then. The color-palette as well as the design is really uniquely 70s, 80s style Japanese anime, the contrasting colors as well as the unusual look really brings back nostalgia, so it was really fun designing this whole thing (as well as challenging, because 1. I really don't do mechas at all 2. The pose had to be really linear, because it has to stand as a huge height and be really grounded and 3. You only got the 50-year-old anime to go on as reference, and the damn angles keep shifting and the proportions changing, so you got no idea how it actually looks like 100% XD had to go with my guts here).

The papercraft itself is a “lifesize” papercraft. Not really lifesize, since it’s probably 100 meters high in the anime, but it was unfolded to 2 meters! I could really go crazy with the details here, more than with the normal 20-30 cm unfolds, so loved that. Needless to say that, of course as ALL OF MY PAPERCRAFRS I SELL, I have modeled, posed, textured and unfolded it myself! 100% Antyyy, baby!

It’s going to be a HUUUGE thing, with many awesome details and a hella lot of work to do as well. Can’t wait to see this beast being done for the end of the year ceremony the commissioner has every time. Look forward to that and I’ll surely update the links when the preview is available.
