Shiroko (Blue Archive) built papercraft


Already posted my Shiroko papercraft template:


And now it’s time to assemble this cutie and give you some pro-tips on how to make life simpler for yourself when doing these. Let’s go.

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

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

With any of my papercrafts, you can divide the assembly into separate parts: the head with the ears and hair, the coat, the 2 arms with the while sleeves, the cape, the upper torso, the legs, her 3D bag and the 2D halo.

If we start with the head, you assemble the face and neck first. Then you glue on the front hair, pre-build the 2 ears first and glue them on the front hair, and lastly close it with the back hair. After this, you can glue on the 2D head parts.

Next you can separately build the 2 arms, with either the 2D or 3D hands (note that I did the preview pics with the 2D version of the hands). When you got those, set them aside and start gluing together the 2 white sleeves and glue those together. When you have all these parts, glue together the whole coat part, and only then press the pre-made hands inside to glue them on the right angle. Once done, glue in the 2 arms at the right angle. And that’s done.

Next, you make the first 3 parts of the upper torso, and glue in the head you did before and make your way all down the torso and then glue on the dress as well. Once this is done, you can simply put glue on the remaining flaps of the torso, where the arms should be, and glue on the pre-made coat on there. And after this, you can then also glue on the blue scarf and close it by gluing it together in the back. Add the 2D items on here as well.

Next step is to make the legs. You do this part by assembling the legs from bottom to top and finish with the buttocks part. This means, build the whole sneakers first and leave the bottom sole part off for now. Next, build the first 3 parts of the legs, place them inside the sneakers and glue those 2 together like that. After the glue sets, close the sneaker soles, build the remaining legs and the butt.

And before anything, fill up the legs with some weights here, to make her really stand firmly (*Pro-tip: I always suggest smaller pebbles, since they are small enough to fit and heavy enough to help with the weight as well, without rupturing the paper itself). And when you have this part done, glue the legs on the dress.

All that is left is to is her simple bag and the halo. You can glue or just place the bag around her shoulder and it’s done. And you can either glue on the halo at the back of her head, or, like me, glue it on some wire and make it “float”. Done and done.

Marcille (Dungeon Meshi) built papercraft



Posted my Marcille papercraft template preview already that you can view here:


So now you can see her assembly and how cute she looks in real as well.

*As with any of my papercraft templates, the blank PDO is always included in these files, so you help yourself with the 3D preview in Pepakura to assemble it, but I like to post a bit of experience I have with building papercrafts to maybe make things easier for less experienced papercrafters and share ideas on how to make it simpler :)

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

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

As with all of these humanoid papercrafts, it can be divided into smaller separate parts you can built and then put together, to make it easier to assemble. So, you can divide the Marcille craft into: the head with the neck and hair, the torso with the sleeves and dress, the hands and the legs. 

As with all of my papercrafts, I always start with the head. Build the face and the head around + the neck and then glue the front hair bangs on the face part. After, build the the 2 3D hair tails first and glue those on the head, and then the whole back part of the hair . All that is left to do is to glue the mics (2D braids, ears, hair decoration on).

When you finish the whole head, it’s time to start the torso. The neck has a cape around as well, so start with that and build it half-way, so don’t close them at the back, so you are able to slide them on the neck at the end. 
Put the parts aside, and assemble the first upper part of the torso to about half of the breasts. Then glue on the upper sleeves on there (which you also build separately), and then slide in the folds of the heads neck part, so you are able to glue it in nicely and additionally reinforce it with rolled-up leftover paper from the cut-out, to make it sturdier and really holding it together. Once the neck is glued on the torso part, slide the cape on there, glue the back parts together and build the remaining parts of the torso and then the remaining dress bottom part on there. 

Now you can start assembling the 2 hands separately. Once done, you can simply glue the hands inside the sleeves. Since the parts have flaps and can just be glued on like that, you can make it really easy to assemble that way AND you can adjust the angle of how the arms are, so you really get it right. And when the glue dries really good on there, you can glue on the optional spoon and bowl.

Now, the leg part. Start at the bottom and make your way up. And once you have the legs, you can glue them by sliding them inside the dress part and make her sit nicely. 

Since she has a sitting pose, she won’t fall over no matter what. You can put her on the crate you make or simply sit her on a shelf or box to display her in your room.

As for the optional 3D various items, they are easy enough to make, just be sure to *pro-tip: first build the whole pot and bowl and only AFTER these, glue the soup part inside, to make it easy to assemble. For the staff, you can put inside a round popsicle stick and cut it at the right length to additionally reinforce it. And the 2D soup ingredients are just glued on however you like it to look.

Starmie Espeon (Pokemon/Fakemon) papercraft


Fakemon are a really nice inspirational source for many papercraft ideas, including this one, so a huge shoutout to Mamo for this super sweet design that I saw and made my own version of. This is a redesigned Pokemon made by combining Starmie and Espeon and turning it into weird mecha-like Pokemon in the end XD half cool, half creepy, I still can’t decide myself :D Maybe it could be called “Starmeon” or “Espemie”, what name do you like more?

:bulletpurple: :bulletpurple: :bulletpurple: :bulletpurple: :bulletpurple: :bulletpurple: :bulletpurple: 

The papercraft itself is unfolded to 16 cm and has 4 pages to print. It includes a base Starmie/Espeon 3D model, with simple 2D cuffs, a necklace and a ring on his tail. The tail is the hardest part to make, since it has many parts in 3D, but it absolutely has to be really long and elegant to fit the whole style here. So, it takes a bit of time to assemble and I would suggest to additionally reinforce it with wire to make it hold. But, as with all of my crafts, the PDO is always included, so you can see the 3D model and how to assemble it best all in the file itself.

I hope you enjoy the somewhat weird and at the same time super cool hybrid Pokemon and that people make some of their own Pokemon OC versions as well. Pokemon is a vast universe of ideas that can be re-shaped and designed anyway you want :)

Do enjoy and happy crafting~

Human Wooloo (Pokemon) built papercraft


The Wooloo template is already posted here:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Human-Wooloo-Pokemon-papercraft-1009785688

But now you can also see the assembly preview and can read some tips if you’ll want to make her yourself.

:bulletblack: :bulletblack: :bulletblack: 

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

As with any of my assemblies, start from top and move to the bottom. And since she has a nice dress, you can also divide the build into separate pieces: The face and neck with the hair, the hands, the arms, the torso with the dress, the legs and the add-ons (2D, 2-sided hook, the ears, the horns, and various bells).

Start by making the face part first and add the back part of the hair and the neck. When you have this, you can then also put the 3 front hairs on there while you’re at it.

Next, you can put together the 2 hands. Also put aside and assemble the upper torso part first. When you have the torso, you can glue the head with the neck and the 2 arms inside it. And once that is dried, glue on the remaining part of the dress.

Then come the legs that you build first. Build the bottom and glue the 2 legs inside. And before gluing on the whole bottom with the legs on the inside of the dress, put in some weights to make it stand nicely.

All that is left are the add-ons. Best way to make the shepherds hook is by gluing a flat wire on the inside of one and the gluing on the back side on it, so it can bend and is nice and straight as well. Next are the bells and the decorative 2D wool that you can glue (or leave out) around the shoulders and the end of the dress. And you also have the 3D horns and the simple 2-sided ears you glue on with the flaps bend inwards and glued on the side of her hair. And, done.

If you build the hook and put it inside her hands, it will stand even firmer. Else, you can leave out the hook or just have it as an extra piece, since you don’t need to glue it in her hands (it stands in her hands just fine).

*At a tip, I also put a bit of glue on one of the fingers to glue together the 2 hands so it looks nicer. But you can also leave them separated, if you like that better.
