So enough Pokemon for now, now I want you to concentrate on this little character, one of the cutest Ghibli anime ever, "Ponyo" from the movie "Ponyo on a cliff by the sea".
I have made the template quite some time ago but I never had the time to built her myself, but now you can finally see her in all her cuteness XD
The papercraft built, as always, was built from head till toes. BUT this one is waaay easier to make. Why? Super pro tip:
***Since the character has a skirt, where you can barely see the seemes or the legs glued by the upper body, you can make the craft in 2 parts, one part from head till skirt and the other part from toes till pants/diapers. Super easy and you can make both part without any problems at all, since both parts have open holes at the end where you glue them together, so you can make it and position the flaps from that hole :) ***

So I started to make her 2-sided har and left that for the end. Then I made the head and the somewhat fiddly hands and the sepparate 3D bucket. After I had the hands I glued them on the head with the neck parts and continued down to her 2-sided skirt. After I had the upper part I glued the hair piece on the head any styled the sepparate locks of her hair a bit, since, if you have watched the anime, her hair was always so wild and winded so it's kinda hard to make it right XD hopefully I have made it justice.
After I had the upper part, I made the legs, but because of the pro tip, I made it from feet till the diaper, so it can be super accurate. At the end, when I had both parts of her, I just glued her diaper on the skirt and tadaaa ;D And at the very end I deided to glue the handle of her bucket on the hand so it doesn't fall off.
I made the craft without any reiforcment, since the legs are sturdy and you can balance the both parts at the end so it stands no matter what. Also since the skirt is 2-sided it is somewhat heavier at the bottom so that helps her stand.

In this spirit, happy crafting~
