Tuxedo Sam (Sanrio) built papercraft

I already released the template of Tuxedo Sam here:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Tuxedo-Sam-Sanrio-papercraft-1099821130

and now you can also see and read about the assembly tips.

**********************

*NOTE: The preview picture of Tuxedo Sam is only of 1 of 3 poses you get included in the template. The template has 3 different poses of Sam and here you only get to see the sleeping version of him. Basically all 3 poses are made the same way and with the same assembly tips.

Since I do all of the papercraft 100% and completely by myself (not only the design, texture and 3D model and pose, but also the built previews and pictures), I do sometimes skip parts or make them simpler. I basically did just the 1 version of him to be able to show it to you, since I got so much other stuff to work on :)

**********************

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

Best way to build any of my papercrafts (since I put the flaps on in that logic) is by making it from top to bottom. You should start with the head and make your way down until you get to the hole hole part where the beak goes. Put the head aside and make the beak, the 2 flippers, the 2 feet and the hat all separately.

Once you got those parts, put glue on the flaps of the beak and slide it inside the hole in the head where it goes, and glue it on. Continue going down and gluing together the body until again, you make the 2 holes for the flippers. Take the flippers you made separately before, put glue on the flaps, and slide/glue them inside.

Continue to make the body until you come to the last bottom part where you close it (the last bottom part has no flaps, so this is the part that you close the craft with). Take the 2 feet you made before, and again, slide them inside the holes and glue them inside. The legs are a bit smaller than the rest, so it can take a bit longer to glue them inside, so take your time and use tweezers, if necessary.

Once you got that, close the bottom with the last piece, glue on the hat at the right angle on the head, and the little sleepy penguin is done :)

Tuxedo Sam (Sanrio) papercraft

Since I made a lot of Sanrio papercrafts, I decided to continue these and make another cutie of the bunch. This time I made “Tuxedo Sam”, a well-known little sailor penguin with his cute little hat. Who doesn’t love penguins? So cute :3

**********************

The papercraft itself is unfolded to 13 cm and has 9 pages to print out (9 for all 3 versions, 3 for the sleeping version, 3 for the standing version and 3 for the walking version). The template includes 3 differently posed Tuxedo Sams (since I couldn’t decide which one was cuter XD), so you can decide which one you like best or you can make all 3 of them.

All of the papercraft versions are made the same way, so the template consists of a 3D model of San, including 3D hands, 3D feet and 3D beak and a 2D sailor cap. The smaller parts would be the webbed feet (the legs) and the 3D flippers. It’s all visible in the PDO file you get with the purchase and it’s not hard to do in any case.

Hope you like Tuxedo Sam and you look up his merch. He is definitely one of the cutest Sanrio characters and maybe not as well-known in other countries as in Japan, but not to be overlooked!

Enjoy and happy crafting~
