so now you can also see the assembled version with the building tips.
***********************
ASSEMBLY TIPS:
As with all of my papercrafts, you start from top and build to bottom.
Assemble the 2 ears separately and then start making the top of the head, attach the 2 ears on and make the whole head to the edge of the neck. Don’t forget to attach the frills of the neck on here as well, since you can then just close the body with it later on.
When you have the head, make the 2 arms and 2 legs separately. Make the 2D tail as well (Pro tip: You can put some wire inside the tail before you glue both parts together, so it can stand better and it can be posed as well) and set all of these aside for later.
Now start assembling the torso. Since we have the frills on the neck, the torso can be built completely separately from the head. Start from bottom to top then. Get the 2 feet you made before and build the torso around and upwards. Once you come to the holes for the arms, also glue those inside.
Now, before you do anything else 2 things to do: 1. glue the tail inside the torso by making an incision at the back and gluing it with tape on the inside. If you did as I did, you’ll be able to move the tail with the wire that way as well. 2. You put some weights inside the torso to make the Pikachu stand better (Pro tip: I always use small pebbles, since they are small to fit inside any holes you have and also heavy enough to make it heavier to stand. They are also light enough at the same time to not damage the paper when you do put them in.
When the whole torso is done, make the sleeveless jacket and put it around his arms and then glue it with a few dots at the front to make it hold its place. Now you can glue the head onto the torso where the frills are.
At the end, you glue on the various bows and flowers on it and glue on the hat as well and it’s done.
*Note: In the preview I did put a picture of both Kanto Pokepark Pikachu & Eevee, since they are meant as a set and fit together in size as well. You can find Pokepark Eevee here:
