And now you can also see the assembly and the tips :)

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

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

I started by making the 2 ears and hands/gloves separately and after I had those, I built the top part of the head to glue on the ears. After that you just follow down to the torso, gluing each stripe one by one on the body, and when you get to the torso, glue the arms on as well. I continued to assemble it, till I got to the last 3 pieces that you close at the bottom and the feet, since there is where you glue in the 2D tail first.

*Pro tip: As always, as already told several times with my tips and tricks, I glued a wire inside the 2 parts of the tail, since it can be moved and it stands well that way. I glued the wire inside, and made sure that 1/3 of the wire stands out, so that part in glued on the inner side of the body. I did this by making a small incision on the back part of the body and put the tail through it, and after gluing the wire with tape on the inside. That way you got a sturdy, movable tail that is really cool looking and functional. It sounds harder than it is to make, you can see from the pictures how it goes in so you can try it for yourself :3 

After the tail is on, all you have to do it close the craft on the bottom end with the feet (which is how I always do my papercraft, from top to bottom, since I find it easier and you can hide any imperfections at the bottom, where you can’t see it. And then you put on the optional cape, wings and hat. The wings can be made with the same tip as the tail, glue in some wire and you can move and pose them around you want.

And there you go, a complete and assembled super scary Zubat Pikachu papercraft :)

Zubat Pikachu papercraft

Zubat Pikachu papercraft

Another year, another Pikachu Halloween special craft I do every time. I just love the cuteness, what can I say.

The papercraft is an inspiration from the Halloween Zubat Pikachu vampire design the Pokecenter already released (and as seen as the reference picture above), but I made it in my own version and with a cooler cape :)

         

The papercraft itself is unfolded to 18 cm and has 5 pages to print, with the first 2 pages having an optional colored backside for the add-ons. The craft consist of a 3D model of Pikachu, as well as various add-ons for the Zubat vampire dress: the 3D hat, the front and back cape, the 2-sided tail and the 2-sided Zubat wings in the back.

    

This papercraft is a special treat actually, since it will be the main prize in my Halloween contest I am hosting from 23^rd till the 31^st October 2023 and anybody making 1 of the 3 chosen papercraft assemblies can get it for FREE in this timeframe.

Check out the contest and all the details you need to know to participate here:
