Faunazon (Pokemon/Fakemon) built papercraft

Already posted my template preview version of this Fakemon called Faunazon here:

And because I had the time and really liked this cutie, I also made the assembly preview and I can give some extra tips for the building process 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:

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 head, the scarf, both arms and the tail, and then you make the torso and the legs with all of the already added parts at the end.

With the head, start by making both ears and then set them aside to make the tip of the snout. Make your way to the back of the head, attach the pre-made ears and close the head at the neck part. Then, you can start by making the top part of the torso and attach the already made head and the 2 pre-made hands on there. When those are attached, build the remaining torso, glue on the pre-made tail part and you got 2/3 done at this point.

Now, you have to make the remaining 2 legs. Best way is to, again, make them from top to bottom and slowly glue on part by part, so the legs are at the right angle to make the papercraft stand at the end. And you can close the legs with the last sole piece at the bottom.

Once the whole 3D body is done, you can add on the 2D, 2-sided pink flowers on the head and also attach the scarf on. For the scarf, make it so you glue all 3 parts of the scarf together but DON’T CLOSE IT YET. At the back of both parts where you need to glue it together, glue on the scarf ends on there and use a bit of strong tape, if you have to, to make it stick the way it should. Now, once you have both ends on, glue the scarf together by roping it around Faunazons neck and glue it together. Done.

With the help of the 2 long scarf ends, Faunazon can comfortably stand on its own without any additional weights inside the legs. And there you go, nice and easy.

Hope you like the Fakemon, really wanted to just have fun with this one and make something new from the Pokemon universe and just enjoy myself.

Do enjoy and happy crafting~ 

Old papercraft remake: Ojamajo Doremi

Old papercraft remake: Ojamajo Doremi

I have now been active in the papercraft community for probably over 20 years and in the selling/commission business for probably over +15 years now, since I don’t have an exact date really, but a pretty long time. And in the last years, I have been consciously improving my skills and making papercrafts more exciting and better-looking than the ones I did at the start. So, in the last few weeks (because my birthday is coming soon), I have been looking at some of my past papercraft designs and decided to make a little update on an old papercraft I did from one of my fav childhood anime I loved so much: Ojamajo Doremi!

A lovely anime and a nice little project I have been working on for myself, since I really love the characters so much :D

You can see the old papercraft I did of her from 2016 on the left side (and that I have since removed from my gallery, as well as over 100 of old designs as well, since they were not up to my standard anymore and I was not happy sharing or selling them anymore). And the problems, at least from my side, are pretty clear as of why I don’t like it anymore. But it serves as a teaching tool, so I decided to put up the pics again so you can see what a difference 6 years of hard work can make. Since on the right side, you have a little sneak-peek of the new design I did of Doremi and you’ll be able to compare it with the new, improved design very soon as well :)

              

For those interested in the differences I am talking about, and some general tips on how to make papercraft models look 100-times better and be more fun to assemble as well, I have made a small update on that here:

 Papercrafts and how to improve them

   

The new Doremi design will be posted soon, so I hope you also look forward to that as well.

 

I have had tons of old designs of papercrafts I had to discard from my gallery, so I am actually curious if people still remember them and if you have any wishes to see them as well. So, my questions for the viewers would be:

·         What old papercrafts that you remember me making would you like to see being remade?

·         Do you want any of the old designs I removed to actually be available to download as FREE versions?

·         Or do you have any favorites you want to see being made from scratch in my style?

     

If you have any suggestions or comments on this matter, do comment bellow or write me a private message on any of these matters. I’m curious if people actually remember the old models and if any of them really stuck in their mind all this time.

Till then, enjoy and happy crafting~

A small, general post on what to think about when making your own papercraft design and how to make them better.

If you like, you can read about it in the outgoing link. And if you have any other suggestions or you think I forgot to mention anything basic, I am always open to constructive criticism and maybe we can add something on the list together.
