Parol - Pokeball

Hi guys! Because of the recent calamities that happened here in the Philippines, I would like to thank all those who have helped and donated to my country. Every little help counts!

As a sign of my gratitude, I give you all this Pokeball Parol! For those that don't know, a parol is a star shaped lantern/ ornament traditionally put up during the Christmas season (September-December). This is a mini model that you can put in your Christmas tree.

Yey for updated picture!

Pacman Ghosts

Yo! I wanted to make a ghost as a decoration for my desk at the office this Halloween. And I thought I would easily find a pixelated pacman template but couldn't find any. So I quickly 3d modeled this in Sketchup by tracing a reference image and extruding the face. I made the one below by removing the color from the file and printing it on colored paper.

A4 Template: Blue | Red | Pink | Orange
Instructions: None. I know you're going to get angry with me when you see how confusing I made the assembly for this. But alternating tabs made it fit nicely together even with half-a**ed scoring and cutting (Look ma, no ruler!). I do have numbered marks telling where you should glue some of the tabs.

And for non-paper Halloween decoration, here is the spider that took me a month to make. Please excuse my mother's noob skillz in web placement. Now random passersby are taking their picture at our house's gate. :)

Rawr!

PS. Red in printer is still dead. Canon people if you're reading this, please send me a printer so I can make more papercrafts. :D

Harvest Moon DS Building#1 - WIP

I was browsing through my files and holy banana look what I found! I guess was working on the bar last year but totally forgot about it. A few more changes and off it goes to Pepakura.

Long lost 3d model just waiting to be remembered.

Pokemon Building #3

Oh yeah! Another Pokemon building is finished! It's a Pokemon house from Diamond/ Pearl (I think)! I might update the picture with something better sometime. :)

Reference image

I promise it's not really greenish.

The template allows you to build the green or blue roofed house.

Pokemon Building #3 Test Build

My laptop died this weekend and the harvestmoon model went with it. To forget that unfortunate event I went and busied myself by making this Pokemon House. A few more changes in the template and it will be released to the public.

And also my printer decided to not work properly and not print out the color red correctly. Gah! Why?!!

Harvest Moon Building #1 Test Build

This was a very bad test build. Sigh. And I've scaled it down too much. . . and . . . Sigh. Let's just say this was a very bad unfold.

Well, back to the drawing board (aka Pepakura)!

Blog Update

Oh God! It has been almost 2 years since I updated this site. So what have I been up to? Answer: Nothing much. Oh, but I was asked by my boyfriend to make a papercraft of the road train project of DOST (sister project of the AGT) after the 3D printed model didn't get delivered on time for the NSTW exhibit. I was just given 2 days to design it and in the end I gave the guys in DOST the template and instructions to make it. They did pretty well given that this is their first papercraft and they had to build 6 coaches. But I'm not surprised as some of them are Gundam kit builders. Someone just made a mistake in building the model below, the other half of the back coach was attached incorrectly. I used my Google foo in finding a video of the working model but to no avail, sorry guys. You just have to take my word that it does move. ;P

Will I ever release the template for this? Maybe. It really doesn't look much like the real thing and the chassis isn't modeled yet. And I really should resize this, 1 coach is 2 A4s in length. We'll see in the future.

But look here, it's  Batman!

Thanks to Ninjatoes for making such a great model! Here is the link to the template. It was my first time making a more complex model but this was a joy to make (except the hands). People at the office thought it was plastic and said that the belt is a really nice touch. Though, I'm pretty baffled why it came out so dark, now it looks like a cross from the TNBA Batman and the TAS Batman. Batman fans, please don't kill me.

Peace out!

P.S. I'm curious, does anyone really build my models? Send pictures so I can see them too. :D
