Rimuru Tempest (TenSura-Slime Isekai) built papercraft



Since I already posted the template of Rimuru Tempest, I also have to post the built version as well, so you can see all the details and parts of it (like I promised). So here is the assembly version of the cute Slime king :D

The papercraft is unfolded to about 25 cm, meaning that the throne is 25 cm high and Rimuru about 24 cm, since he is in a sitting pose. It consists of a 3D Rimuru model is sitting pose, with his separate 2-sided coat, his 2D scarf, his separate 3D slime self, a 3D throne and a 2D simple red carpet.

I started by making the simple 2D red carpet, since there are only 2 parts to glue together to make it. It’s an optional piece if you want the throne to stand on it and have that throne-room look, but since it’s included, I also made it.

Next, I made my way to make the throne. The throne is actually made out of 6 separate cylinder/box shapes, that you first glue together as separate pieces. Once you have all 6 boxes assembled, you just glue them together at the right places to make it stand like that. Nothing really hard to do, all you need is a bit of patience to let the glue dry and hold the pieces in the right place, and the throne seat is ready as well (if you are not sure how the pieces go together and you are assembling them with my template PDF files, you can always take a look at the 3D preview version of the papercraft, found in the template link bellow).

Next, I made my way to make the small Rimuru slime. This one is also quite easy to make, it has a squashed sphere shape, so just glue the parts together from top to bottom and at the end close it with the bottom piece, and the slime is also ready.

Last part of the papercraft is the main character that sits on the throne, Rimuru in his human form. This one is obviously the most time-consuming and a bit difficult to make than the rest.

I started making it by gluing together the face parts and the neck. Once that is finished, I separately made the front bangs of the hair and glued them on the face flaps. Next, I glued the remaining hair parts of the head from top to bottom. Since the hair part has a invisible hole where you make it, it is really easy to put together at the back, since you have the open hole to help yourself with all the time. When you do this, the head part is ready.

Next, I made the separate hands, arms and gloves for the hands. Just build them beforehand and leave them for the last part, since this way it’s way easier to assemble it with the coat. So built them, don’t put them together yet, and leave them for later.

Moving on I made the upper torso of the body to about ½. When you got the upper part ready, you make the separate scarf (that consists of 3 black striped you glue together), and once you have those, put them on the neck of the head you made before. Then glue together the neck with the upper torso part and join it from the inside of the torso, making sure to glue the flaps from the inside where you put through the neck. Leave this to try a bit, and then put extra curled-up paper parts (from the excess templates you cut it out from) in the neck to keep it safe so it doesn’t bend or anything. After that part is secured, you can glue the rest of the torso on the body and half of Rimuru is done already.

Continuing, I made the separate coat and the separate legs parts. The coat has a 2-sided texture, so you can glue the inside of it on as well, since I only glue half of it on because I wanted to finish the work faster for the preview. The legs are a normal procedure for any humanoid papercraft, start from bottom to top, and when you got all parts glued together and the shoelaces on as well, you can fill the inside with weights if you want to (although he sits well without any extra weights inside).

Now that we have all parts of the body, it’s time to put them together in the right order. Start by gluing the leg part to the torso, gluing it to the inner side of his hips. When the glue dries, you can then put his belt on. When the base body of Rimuru is assembled, slip on his coat. The coat stands without any additional help of glue or anything, so it should stand nicely on his shoulders of the torso.

And now comes the final part. First, put the assembled body on the throne, so you have a reference where the body is leaning on. The left arm is leaning on the throne and the right arm on the Slime. Glue both gloves on the arms first. Then put glue on the flaps of the arms, and push them inside the coat sleeves and angle the right corner of where the arms should stand and let the glue dry. After that glue the hands on the arms at the right angle, making sure the arms and the hand are leaning on the throne and slime, and you will get a precise pose of the papercraft. This way it’s super easy to make the coat, without having to think how to glue it on the 3D body itself, and it’s way more precise as well.

And if you finish it like that, and put all the parts together, you get a result like the one in my picture :) A sitting human Rimuru with his slime self on his throne.

The nice part of this papercraft is that it is very versatile. I find sitting papercrafts to be actually more versatile for putting anywhere on display in your room, because they don’t fall over and they look super cute just sitting on the edge of your shelf or table. Also, you can make all the parts or just the ones you like, for instance you can just put the slime-version of Rimuru on the throne, or you can put Rimuru on the throne and give him something else to hold. Just use your imagination and pose him with whatever you would like.

All info of the template can be found here:


Hope you like my little throne Rimuru and that it inspires you to make your own papercraft version or just build any papercraft you like ;) The world is a better place with lots of papercrafts XD they are always fun to make, you train your motor skills and your 3D perception (+ imagination), and you can really relax when making them.

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Rimuru Tempest (TenSura-Slime Isekai) papercraft

Rimuru Tempest (TenSura-Slime Isekai) papercraft

Since the series started at the beginning of this year, I decided to go into this popular franchise and make a nice papercraft figurine out of this. It is based not only from the reference picture in the preview you see, but it’s from an actual figurine of Rimuru that I used as the base for this papercraft :) Of course, it’s the slime from the Slime-Isekai anime “Tensei Shitara Slime datta ken” or translated “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime”, the main slimy character “Rimuru Tempest” XD

The papercraft is unfolded to about 25 cm, meaning that the throne is 25 cm high and Rimuru about 24 cm, since he is in a sitting pose. As you can see from the preview, it consists of a 3D Rimuru model is sitting pose, with his separate 2-sided coat, his 2D scarf, his separate 3D slime self, a 3D throne and a 2D simple red carpet. You can assemble all the parts together, or just the parts you like, totally up to you.

I think the main things are clear from this, and I have also made a built papercraft version of it as well, so you can see all the parts and details there as well then I post it. So, stay tuned for that ;)

In the meantime, I hope you’re doing great, enjoy the anime and I wish you happy crafting~

Emma (Yakusoku no Neverland) built papercraft

 

Emma (Yakusoku no Neverland) built papercraft

Since it's one of my cutest papercrafts this year and since I love the series, I had to assemble the papercraft myself as well XD So here is the result.

As with all of my humanoid papercrafts, I started at the head. I made the face with the neck first, and then made the front bangs of the hair. Gluing the flaps of the front bangs on the flaps of the face and then making my way to the back to close the head. She has a lot of hair, and stripes of bushy hair between the head stripes, so it takes some time to get that done. Also, the hair parts that are between can be 2-sided so you get the color on both sides, so that even takes a bit longer to make still. This part is the fiddliest of them all, because you have to make sure to make it neatly and to close it at the back, where the hole in the head is. At the end, when you reach the hole, it can also be closed with an extra part or you can leave it out, either way the hole is not visible when viewing from a front angle.

When the head with all the bushy wild hair is done, I moved to make the hands. I made the fingers first, put them together, and then glued them on the hands. After those I made the separate sleeves of the blouse. When I got the sleeves, I joined them together with the neck part of the blouse and attached the head inside the hole. When it dries, fill out the neck with additional rolled-up paper from the leftover templates you cut out, to make it stand better and that it doesn’t click over as well.

All that you got to do for this part is not to put the hands that you build before, inside the sleeves and glue them at the right angle (The top part of the hands can be a bit crumbed up to fit inside the sleeves, since the only visible parts are the hands – so you can make a shortcut that way and just put them in like that. Else, if you really want to make them neatly, you have to built the sleeves to a half, glue the arms on, and then glue the remaining part of the sleeves on, which is much more complicated.).

When you got this done, glue the remaining stripes of the blouse on there and the upper body part is ready.

Now we have the bottom part to make, separately. The bottom part can be again divided in 2 parts, the belly part (which is not visible and is glued under the blouse) and the legs. I made the feet first, then legs and last joining them together with the pants, building them from bottom to top, since when making it that way, you have a better grip to assemble the parts and you can fill the feet out with weights at the end, so it stands better. I always use small gravel that I throw just in the feet so the craft doesn’t fall over, and they work really well, since the weight is also perfect for the paper.

After you got the legs, make the belly part with the skirt separately. The skirt needs to be neatly folded to get that harmonica Japanese schoolgirl look, so fold those neatly and glue the parts together.

After this you should have 3 separate parts: the upper body, the belly with the skirt and the legs. First join the belly and skirt part to the upper torso, gluing it together in the inner side of the blouse and adjusting the angle a bit to the right, so she is slightly tilted, since that is the pose of the papercraft. When you got this glued together, all you need to do is glue the legs (with the weights already inside) on the inside edge of the skirt, adjusting the angle of them so she can stand nicely, and there you go.

Last, you can put on all those little extra 2D parts that you left out, such as the standing hairs on top and at the back of the head, as well as the shoelaces on her boots and the ears.

And Emma from Neverland is done. Probably took me about +/−12 hours to make, including cutting and folding time, but I am a fast builder, so take the time you need.

Hope you like the little cutie and that you have fallen in love with the series as much as I do XD Happy crafting~

Chespin Snowman built papercraft



It has been about 3 years since I made this papercraft group of Pokemon snowman papercraft XD But, since then I finally got time and decided to build the little fellas. So, here is my Chespin snowman papercraft.

The papercraft itself is about 19 cm tall, so it’s big enough to use your fingers and hands in the inner side of the craft to make it nice and smooth.

All in all, the built was nothing particularly special. You build the papercraft starting with the face and the edge around the face and then you make the rest of the head. After the head I moved downwards and made the rest of the round body (gluing 1 strap at a time), and at the end you close the bottom with the bottom part.

After you have the whole 3D body, you can put on the remaining 2-sided 2D items, such as the scarf and his leaves of his head. The scarf is a normal strap that you glue on around the neck. The remaining 2 parts of the scarf and the leaves are 2-sided, so you glue the sides together first and then you glue them on the right spots. And the papercraft is finished :)

Overall, it probably took me about 4 hours to make, including cutting out, but I am a very fast builder, so take your time with the assembly. It’s not really hard to do, except the edge of the face, so it’s a nice and relaxing assembly all in all :D

You can find the template and all info of the purchase here:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Chespin-Snowman-papercraft-722389044

*Note that I did slightly fix the texture to be more “snowy”, using more white color for the colors of the snowman, so it doesn’t look as blue as it does on the screenshots. So, it looks more natural and better than the old version ;)

Hope you like the little cutie and that you got some snow around where you live to try to make one in real as well XD who knows. Enjoy and happy crafting~

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:


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~

White Blood Cell / Hakkekkyuu built papercraft



Since we started this year’s anime season with not 1 but 2 different seasons of "Hataraku Saibou" or "Cells at Work", I thought I would make the last one of my Hataraku designs that was left for me to build, and this is "Hakkekkyuu" or "White Blood Cell" :)


I wanted to build the original one, since I made the design with 2 different textures, so I had to make the blood-splatter one, ‘coz it’s just too funny XD I love how he’s always so hyped to kill those bacteria and viruses, so this one was the one I wanted to display XD

I started off by making the cap first really, since I love these small cappies and I wanted to play with it and put it on my other papercrafts and anime figurines XD damn I am allowed some fun ;P (The cap is detachable and fits on the head without glue, so you don’t need to glue it on, and you can play with it and take it on and off if you wish, just like me :D I am a big kid, what can I say). After I got that out of my system, I made the face with the neck first, same procedure as always, and from there made my way back attaching all the hair on it.

When the head was finished, I made the 2 separate hands, and then the arms. Once you have the arms, you can just glue the hands inside of them, since the inside where it’s glued together is not visible at the end, so it’s simpler that way. Just pick the right angle for them and glue them together. Once I had the arms, I made the upper torso part with the white jacket. On the jacket came the arms, and once the upper torso is made, you attach the pre-built head on it from the inside of the torso, making it nice and neatly closed. Always, after I have such humanoid papercrafts, I reinforced the inner neck part with rolled-up paper bits, so it was sturdy and the head doesn’t knick-in.

Once you got the upper body, you can make the separate legs with the boots. Same procedure here, since it’s easier to start from the bottom with feet, I first made the 2 boots, and then the legs. After I got the legs done, simply put glue on the end flaps of the feet and glue the boots on like that (same principle as with the hands, since the part where they are glued together is not seen at the end).

Once the boots and legs are glued together, you can put some additional weights into the legs if you so wish, but it was sturdy enough to stand as it was, so I didn’t put any in and just glued the legs onto the previously made upper body with the head, and the main body with the pose was done.

The only fiddly parts are now the additional 2D parts and the 3D knives. The knives are actually the fiddliest part of the papercraft, since Hakkekkyuu is unfolded to about 33 cm and there are no real fiddly small parts on the main 3D body, not even the fingers, since they are really big and easy to put together. So, the knives are the time-consuming part where you need the concentration. The handles are 3D, so those need to be put neatly together. All in all, there are 4 knives, 2 on his back in the holsters, and 2 in his hands. Once you got those pesky little handles together, you glue the 2-sided 2D knife blades together, glue them, and glue the end part on the 3D holster. Since the edge of the 2D blade would show, I made small straight incisions with my scalpel and glued the end parts of them inside the 3D handle. That way you don’t have the edge seam and it looks like a real blade. When I did that with all 4 of them, you can put the knives in place. The knives stand in his hands if you build them tight enough, so there is no need to glue any of the 4 on him, but you can do so in the hands so they don’t fall off.

And at the end all that is left are the simple 3D holsters for the knives, the 2D shoelaces, the 2D pockets and all the 2D belts around his body. Those should be the finishing touches, since else you can’t glue those on right unless you got the whole White Blood Cell’s body glued together.

And there you go, a fully functional White Blood Cell assembled papercraft XD I think he looks originally malicious, and the poses where he attacks are really funny, so I had to do it in that pose.

All other info on the template can be found here:


Hope you have fun watching the new series and happy crafting~

Emma (Yakusoku no Neverland) papercraft


Who doesn't love this thrilling and amazing anime “Yakusoku no Neverland” or translated “The promised Neverland”? I think it’s one of the top 100 on my list, and since there is the second season currently going on, and I got a credit to use on Sketchfab XD (I can upload only one 3D preview per month), it’s a perfect opportunity to release the main heroin of the series, called “Emma”.

The papercraft is unfolded to 25 cm and has 6 pages to print. It’s a humanoid papercraft, meaning that the fingers and head will be fiddly to make, but since she has a dress and a long shirt, it can be made in at least 4 separate parts (as I would make it, since it’s easier), which will make your life assembling this really simpler :D

The craft consist of a main 3D body of Emma, and a lot of parts for her bushy big hair. Since she has to look the part, the hair locks that are standing around the head are glued between the head parts, making the head probably the most time-consuming part of the assembly. Other than that, you have a standing collar, the typical harmonica dress, that has to be folded to look the part, and some additional 2D shoelaces for the feet. Overall, I would say a 6/10, the head being the fiddliest part.

Else, she stands 100%, since both feet are on the ground and you can balance her in the hip part, where you join the upper body with the feet. I will try to make the assembly myself, have to see how much time I got to spare. Else, I hope some of you are brave enough to try to assemble her yourself and that I get to see some fans of the anime as well ;)
