Ram and Rem chibi (Re: Zero) papercraft

Ram and Rem chibi (Re: Zero) papercraft

Since the anime is almost over for this season, and I already did most main characters of the anime “Re: zero” in one way or another, I had to make Ram and Rem as well, although you got many other versions of them already out and I don’t like to copy ideas and I don’t copy designs, but this is my take on them so I have the whole gang made :)

The base of these 2 models was actually taken from a Re: zero mobile game, so the textures and both models, although they are still edited and posed by me (had to re-draw some parts of the texture as well, etc.), are from there. I really wanted crisp maid textures for this to stand out, so I decided to take an official model for this.

The chibi papercraft is unfolded to 16 cm and consists of 10 pages to print, 5 for Ram and 5 for Rem. Both are basically made the same, just mirrored and I changed the textures of the hair and eyes. The papercraft, although being chibi, is actually quite detailed, so it’s not that simple to make, especially not for beginners in papercraft assembly. It has a lot of smaller pieces, and accessories to put on, so it takes time to make.

They consist of 3D chibi models of Ram and Rem, with separate 2D headbands and separate 3D buds of the headbands, separate 2D bows in the hair and on their costumes, and optional inner parts of the dress to make it look nicer. The frills at the end of the sleeves are fiddly to make, same principle as I made with the Beatrice model, and those have to be neatly folded to make them look like real frills. The neck part is the critical point, as with all of the chibi papercrafts, so that definitely has to be reinforced. The arms are also quite petite, but since it can be divided into different parts of assembly, those should not be that hard to put/glue on. And they should also stand on their own, if the legs are attached at the right angle.

Those interested in buying it, as said, send me a private note for the info. If there is a problem with the papercraft and you would want it unfolded bigger, I can also change the scale with the purchase (just write so in the note), so that shouldn’t be a problem.

I hope you like the little cuties, and hopefully we get to see another season of the anime soon :) Enjoy and happy crafting~

Subaru chibi (Re: Zero) built papercraft

Subaru chibi (Re: Zero) built papercraft

As promised, here is the built version of the Subaru chibi template from the anime “Re: Zero”. Isn’t he just adorable? :)))

Since the papercraft is unfolded to be 19 cm tall and actually has no real 3D hands, it’s pretty quick and easy to make.

As with all my crafts, I always start at the head. Built the face first (with the neck) and then make your way to the back of the head with the hair and 2D 2-sided hair, gluing it where it is shown in the templates. Since the 2-sided hair parts are meant to cover-up white surface, I suggest you first glue the front part of the hair and then close it at the back with the other part, so the white flaps will be between the glued together parts and they will be covered up like that. That way the head will look nice and clean. And once you get to the back, just close it with the last piece, helping yourself with the hole in the neck part, if necessary, and the head is done. All there is left are the 2 2D 2-sided ears you glue on the right sports and it’s done.

Moving on, I made the 2 arms separately first. After you have only the arms done, as you will see, the right hand doesn’t have any hand since it’s only tucked in the pocket, while the left hand has a stump and a 2D 2-sided hand in which he holds the bag. The stump, on where the simple hand is glued on, can just be glued in the already pre-made hand/sleeve by pushing it inside and gluing up the flaps before, and it sits where it should. All is left is to glue the hand on and bent/curl it slightly, so the bag can sit in the fingers.

When the arms are done, built the first half of the jacket with the collar. When you got that, glue the arms on the jacket and then slide the neck part (of the built head) inside the hole and glue it up from the inside. Let that part dry good, and when it does, use curled-up waste paper to bulk up that tiny neck of his to prevent it from snapping (it’s a chibi papercraft, so the necks are always the most difficult part, since they are so small and the head disproportionately big).

After that built the remaining jacket part and then move on to the legs. When the legs are built to the knees, be sure to glue on the simple boxy-shaped pocket so his right arm is inside the pocket and let that dry. – Pro tip: since we are dealing with a chibi papercraft, always be sure to reinforce and straighten the parts that are most vulnerable, like we did with the neck. - And since after you attach the head on the jacket, it becomes difficult to built it with the head facing upwards, so turn the papercraft upside-down and built the remaining parts till the last like that. That way the head will not weight down the body and you’ll have a simpler assembly.

All that is left is to make the last parts of the legs, and when you are about to glue on the shoes, I made it like this. Built the shoes separately (not closing the bottom part), and glue both on simultaneously. Depening on the glue you are using, this should get you enough time to adjust the angle of the shoes so Subaru can stand, so put him down on his feet and see if the angle is right and he can stand and if you found the right angle, close the bottom part of the shoes. (The papercraft stands without any help of weights that way, however you can throw in some extra weights inside his feet before closing it at the bottom, just to be sure).

All that is left is to make the simple 3D supermarket bag (which is hollow btw., as you can maybe see in the picture, and you can put small stuff in it, like I did with my fake flowers for fun XD), and there you go. Your own chibi Subaru papercraft.

I hope you like this little cutie. Since I already made the 2 girls I like most from the series, I wanted to make Subaru in a more funny angle and decided to make his chibi :) Enjoy and happy crafting~

Subaru chibi (Re: Zero) papercraft

Subaru chibi (Re: Zero) papercraft

Since I spent quite some time on some characters from the anime “Re: Zero” and I am quite invested in making some chibi papercrafts, I decided to make the main male protagonist of the anime like this :) Of course, as fans of the anime know, his name in "Natsuki Subaru".

The papercraft is unfolded to be 19 cm tall and consists of 4 printable pages. The pose and idea came when I saw a chibi figurine of Subaru made like this, so I decided to make him in a similar pose and with the plastic bag from the convenience store he was “Isekai-ed” in the 1. season of the anime XD

The papercraft has a simple 3D Subaru model, with a simple 3D “boxy-like” bag (that is optional), 1 hand in a pocket and another with a simple 2D 2-sided hand that is just glued on his arm and his typical 2D 2-sided standing-out hair bangs on his head.

Along with that, I have also updated my unfold patterns to be even more logical on how and what parts to put together, so the templates come not only with the edge ID PDF files to see how to assemble them, but also with written notes and clues on what parts go together, written besides the relevant parts in the templates. Even simpler assembly, and a simple 3D chibi pattern for easy gluing together.

The built version will soon be online as well, very soon, since I couldn’t miss out on making this little cutie myself XD So, until then enjoy and happy crafting~

Emilia (Re Zero) built papercraft

Emilia (Re Zero) built papercraft

You have seen the anime, you have seen the papercraft template, you have seen the 3D papercraft preview, BUT have you also seen the papercraft assembly? Well, now you have XD

May I introduce my latest assembled papercraft, my designed “Emilia” from the popular anime “Re: Zero”, which, if you don’t live under a rock, know that there is a new series being shown every week right now, so join the hype-train people XD Love the anime.

The template preview, which I released some time ago, can be found here btw. If you haven’t taken a look yet, just click it:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Emilia-Re-Zero-papercraft-852699382

Since the series is ongoing and I really can’t wait to see more info, especially on the 7 new witches, I decided to make Emilia to calm my nerves a bit and to enjoy and appreciate the series even more.

The papercraft is unfolded to 26 cm, so she has a comfortable height to glue together. Some small parts, but nothing dramatic really, a rather easy built, compared to some other humanoid papercrafts with fingers etc.

As with all my assemblies, I started with the face and neck. Once I had that glued, I made the olng hair and all the cute little head details, such as the 2D braid, the hairs, the 2-sided ears, AND her rose ornament. Really loved to make that, and it’s actually super easy to make, since it’s only made out of 3 different flat pieces that you just glue together and on the head. And with some minor bending of the petals, it looks like a real 3D rose. Really love the detail of this the most of all the parts.

After I got the head, I made the separate hands first. And after the hands, I made the separate arms with the sleeves. The sleeves/the purple frills are kind of fiddly, since you have to manually bend them, so they can look natural on the sleeve, so it’s a bit fiddly and time-consuming. In my assembly I made the sleeves only with a 1-sided printed color, but I added an additional color for a double-sided print of the frills in the template, so when you assemble it, the frills will be colored on the inside as well, with no extra assembly effort, since they only need to be built once. Added this later on after I already built it, so my frills don’t look as nice and purple as they could have. But they are still the right form and everything, so they still look.

When you got the sleeves and hands, you can glue them together at the right angle by just slapping on glue on the flaps of the hands and adjusting the right angle of the arms in the sleeves, and there you go. No additional effort to be super precise about it, since that part isn’t seen in the built papercraft at all. So, a real time- and nerve-saver :) And after you got the arms all joined together, I made the upper body next. I made the upper body so I could join the arms I did before on it, and build the rest of the flowing cape/dress.

When you got the upper body/torso done and when you got the head done, you can easily join them at the neck part. Simply put the neck part with the flaps inside the hole of the torso and pull a bit through, and when it’s inside, glue the flaps from the inside of the body and turn them over and glue it tightly on the body. – At this point don’t forget that there is a decorative neck-part with the 3D green crystal as well, so build those separately first, and when you are about to put together the neck and the upper body/torso, just slide that on to the neck and glue the flaps of the neck on. The neck decoration is shorter than the whole neck, so it should fit on easily and just slide it all the way back, so you have space to really firmly glue those flap parts of the neck inside the torso.

Once the glue dries a bit, I always put additional curled-up paper bits inside the neck, because it’s the smallest part and can be easily bent if not careful, so be sure to reinforce that part when you assemble it yourself (and add the small 3D crystal o

When the upper body is made, all you got to do then are the 2 skirts and the legs. I built the 2 skirts separately, and first glued the upper frilly dress on the body. The second skirt will be glued on the legs when made, because joining the whole papercraft in the hips, where the skirts meet, is 100% the easiest way to do it.

I made the legs separately, by starting from the bottom. Built the boots first and make your way upwards till you get to the underwear. Since her legs are slightly bent, I recommend putting in weights inside both of the legs. That is why I built the legs separately, and put in some small pebbles inside, so they are sturdy enough to carry the weight of the upper body.

Once you have the legs with the weights inside, glue the second wavy dress on the underwear flaps first, and then glue the same flaps with the upper body inside the skirt. Again, since the parts are not visible with the finished papercraft, just slap that glue on and adjust it together at the right angle. And there you go, all done.

One of the easiest papercrafts I have done recently, so it was really refreshing making her. And she looks adorable, of course :) Sadly I got to say that the Beatrice papercraft I also made out of the Re: Zero series is bigger than Emilia (since I did make her bigger because of all the details), so they don’t fit together 1:1, but I still got 2 characters done from the anime, so that’s a win for me.

I hope you like her and that it gave you some inspiration to try yourself at papercrafting. Happy crafting everybody~
