Moominvalley papercraft

 
 
 If you follow my posts (well, more like the gibberish I type along with the descriptions, let's be real XD), you already know I am a huge fan of everything Moomin! Read the books as a child and loved the lore and all of the recent adaptations they did with them. ONE, or more like 2 and the 3rd coming out soon, is an adaptation of the Moomins into a point & click adventure game called “Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley” and “Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth”! Delightful little puzzle games that let you revisit the Moominvalley and all of its little inhabitants. You have to see and play it for yourself, it will get you hooked in no time.

Well, ever since I finished the second Moomintroll game, I wanted to make a cute diorama papercraft in this more modern style and decided to do my 3 favorite characters of the bunch in it as well.

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

The papercraft is unfolded to 18 cm and has 13 pages to print out (1 of them being an optional double-sided print page for the inner hair and hat color for Snufkin).

It is a diorama of the box art of the first game and consists of a 3D model of the grass stand, a separate 3D mailbox, simple 2D trees and bushes you glue together on a pyramid-shaped box in the middle so they can stand nicely, 2D flowers and grass patches, a separate 3D model of the famous Moomin bridge they sit and fish on all the time, and separate 3D models of Snufkin (with a simple separate 2D hat and 3D harmonica), Moomintroll and little My (which only has her 3D head and 2 3D shoes that are sticking out of the water she is swimming in).

I didn’t want the papercraft to be too big, so the figures are a bit smaller. But Snufkin and Moomintroll both have 2D simple hands to make, so they are not that difficult to assemble.

Hope you like it, do take a look at the games (and original books, they are a MUST READ) to see if you’ll fall in love with them as much as I did.

Happy crafting~
