Ranger Kate (Pokemon) papercraft



As most of you know, the Switch 2 got announced and one of the most exciting features and add-ons it showed was an actual screen, that lets you transform the Switch into a 3DS console again! I was super hyped about this, and since I felt so nostalgic, I had to replay a classic Pokemon Ranger game for my old trusty 3DS: Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia!

Really miss the 3DS-style double-screen + touchscreen games, so I had to replay this little cute game, and I almost never do replays on any games I played before. These classic 3DS games just have a very special place in my heart… Anyway, since I did replay it all over again, I decided to do the old characters in the game justice and make my female character into a stylized modern Pokemon ranger. So, here she is, a modern re-take of Ranger Kate and how I think she would look like in 2025 (:

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

The papercraft is unfolded to 24 cm height and has 4 pages to print out.

The papercraft consist of a basic 3D model of Kate, with 3D pointy tails, optional 3D or 2D hands, her 2D styler, and 2D add-ons, such as the jacket, the belt with the styler holder and some accessories on the shoes.

Overall the 2 tails take a bit longer to make, since they are 3D and each of the pointy ends has to be glued separately, but a very simple human papercraft all-in-all, especially if you hate making 3D hands (like me XD) and just use the 2D version ones – life is too short to make actual 3D hands on papercrafts people, go out and frolic in the grass and fresh air a bit more ;P

Hope you like the design. As said, it is top ranger Kate, but stylized in my own modern take of her, so not a carbon-copy of the actual character in the game.

Enjoy and happy crafting~
