And now it’s time to give you some pro-tips on how to make life simpler when building her yourself. Let’s go.
**********************************************************
ASSEMBLY TIPS:
With any of my papercrafts, you can divide the assembly into separate parts: the head with the ears and hair, the 2 arms, the T-shirt, the legs, the pants with the upper torso and the misc/cigarettes, crocs, and ashtray.
If we start with the head, you assemble the face and neck first. Then you glue on the front hair, make the 2 ear separately and glue on, and only then close it with the back hair. After this, you can glue on the neck and upper skin torso and set aside.
Next, you can separately build the 2 arms, with either the 2D or 3D hands (*Note that I did the preview pics with the 2D version of the hands). When you got those, set them aside and start gluing together the T-shirt. The shirt needs to be made with the intersecting flaps of the skin torso around the neck, and then make the first few lines of the shirt till you get to the sleeve holes. Make the 2 sleeves separately and glue them in the holes, and then make the whole remaining shirt to the end.
Set this aside again and make the butt with the pants and belly part separately, by putting it together from bottom to top. Once you have the hole for the tail, make the tail separately as well, and put it in with some additional tape from the inside, so it holds well. Make the 2 legs separately as well, and once you have them, crumble up the top part of them a bit, so you can slide both legs inside the pants and glue them at the right angle like that. The inner side of the legs inside the pants is not visible at all, so it doesn’t matter and it’s the easiest way to do so.
Once you have the pants, legs and belly, glue the belly/beginning of the boobs on the inside of the shirt part at the right angle.
Take the 2 arms you did before, and slide them with glue on the flaps inside both sleeves you did at the right angle and place them like that. That way, the arms will be simple to pose at the angle you want and it’s the simplest way as well.
All that is left is to do those small cigarettes, the cigarette butts, the ashtray, the box and the 2 crocs for her props. The crocs fit on her feet, so you can put them on or off (no need to glue them unless you want to), and you can glue a cigarette in her hand as well, because she smokes all the time anyway XD
*Note: The papercraft preview is made with 2D hands. The files for printing-out have both the 2D and 3D hand versions, so you can choose which ones to make.
