Posted my Marcille papercraft template preview already that you can view here:
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 the Marcille craft into: the head with the neck and hair, the torso with the sleeves and dress, the hands and the legs.
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 the 2 3D hair tails first and glue those on the head, and then the whole back part of the hair . All that is left to do is to glue the mics (2D braids, ears, hair decoration on).
When you finish the whole head, it’s time to start the torso. The neck has a cape around as well, so start with that and build it half-way, so 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 sleeves on there (which you also build separately), 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 cape on there, glue the back parts together and build the remaining parts of the torso and then the remaining dress bottom part on there.
Now you can start assembling the 2 hands separately. Once done, you can simply glue the hands inside the sleeves. 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 optional spoon and bowl.
Now, the leg part. Start at the bottom and make your way up. And once you have the legs, you can glue them by sliding them inside the dress part and make her sit nicely.
Since she has a sitting pose, she won’t fall over no matter what. You can put her on the crate you make or simply sit her on a shelf or box to display her in your room.
As for the optional 3D various items, they are easy enough to make, just be sure to *pro-tip: first build the whole pot and bowl and only AFTER these, glue the soup part inside, to make it easy to assemble. For the staff, you can put inside a round popsicle stick and cut it at the right length to additionally reinforce it. And the 2D soup ingredients are just glued on however you like it to look.
