Starry Sky Witch OC built papercraft

Long time ago I made the OC witch-elf:

and I finally managed to make the assembly of her :) So you know the drill, here come the tips & tricks to build her.

******************** 

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

With any of my papercrafts, you can divide the assembly into separate parts: the head with the 2 tails, the hat, the arms, the upper torso, the mascot Dust (Sky) Bunny, the legs, the boots, and the dress.

If we start with the head, you assemble the face and neck first. Then you glue on the front hair and last the back hair. Then you need to assemble the hair tails separately and leave those for later.

Next you can separately build the 2 arms, which are sleeves-only (YAY XD I hate making 3D hands). When you got those, set them aside and start gluing together the torso around the shoulders. When you have all these parts, glue on the first few rows of the torso on the head and neck part you did before, then glue on the 2 sleeves and build the rest of the torso to the belly part where the dress is supposed to start.

Now that you have the upper torso, we come back to the 2 tails. The easiest way to do these: Put glue on the flaps of the 2 tails and place them inside the hole. Additionally, to that, *pro-tip: you reinforce the tail from the inside by taping in wire in the 2 tails and then when the glue dries, you tape the end part of the wires inside the head with tape as well. This way, the tails will hold 200% and you don’t need to worry about making them in the beginning and attaching them on the model, since they would be in the way.

Next step is to make the dress part separately and after you have that, put glue on the flaps and glue it inside the torso part.

Set this now aside and move to the legs. You do this part by assembling the legs from bottom to top and finish with the buttocks part. And when you have this part done, glue the legs on the pre-made separate boots at the right angle. Then glue all the leg part inside the dress part again and the 3D figure is done. I also suggest adding some weights inside the boots to make her stand nicely.

All that is left is to add the add-ons, the 3D bunny and the hat. The hat is really easy to make and you don’t need to glue it on, as you can see. It holds just fine on its own on the head. Same goes for the 3D bunny ball that you can either glue on the hat, or move around for fun or pose it anywhere else you like :P
