And since she is such a cutie, I also decided to assemble her myself and give some assembly tips along the way, so here we go :)
ASSEMBLY TIPS:
The Ichonose Asuna chibi is a simple chibi humanoid craft that is best assembled in smaller separate parts to then glue together. Best way is to make the arms separately, the whole hair separately and then the head with the body.
Start by making the hair, put aside and make the body, by first starting with the head. After the head is done, move along downward and then you have half the torso done, you can glue on the separate 2 hands you made beforehand. And then simply follow it down, make each leg and finish that. Once the whole body is done, I really suggest putting in weights inside the legs, so *Pro-tip: I always say, the best weights I found for papercraft are small pebbles. They are small enough to fit inside the papercraft parts you want to weight down, they don’t rip up the paper or deform it, and at the same time they weight just enough to make the craft stand like an ace. Really neat to use those, trust me and try it.
And when you have the body filled with weights, put glue on the flaps on the head, the head top and some on the right top side and slide on the hair part. That way, it will look bomb and it’s really easier to assemble it than if you had the hair attached in the beginning.
--------
For the basket and the eggs there isn’t anything to say really, but to follow the PDO file. They are really simple to make and make sure to close the eggs with the bottom part with no flaps so it’s easier.
--------
For the 2 bunnies, I suggest to take your time. The papercraft includes 2 bunnies, I made the white on in the preview pics, since both are basically the same. They are smaller and have fiddly pieces, so you need to take your time and go at it slowly. I suggest to make the bunny by first making: the 2 ears, the 2 hands, the 2 feet and the tail all separately. That way, you can glue them on at the end of the assembly, as I did, to make it easier.
Be sure to start the body with the head and move down. Add the arms and legs when you get the parts that they are attached to them done and glue them as you are making the body. And at the end, you glue the ears and the tail inside the left holes as I did. That way, you get the thing done easier and they will fit nicely inside the holes. And you can also glue on the black whiskers, or do those with wire and attach that on, if you like.
And done :)
I hope you like the cuties and that it will motivate you to participate in the dynamic as well. I mean, who doesn’t love the kawaii chibi girls from Blue Archive, they are adorable to look at :3
