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

How to make your own toilet paper shield

I've been really busy this couple of weeks and this is the only papercraft I have made. My father's 2 cats are currently living with us and they're always trying to destroy the toilet papers. I hastily made this about 2 weeks ago and realized I can't just give the template because the measurements may differ. And today I've finished making the tutorial on how to make your own toilet paper shields! Yey! If your toilet paper holder might have a different design, you might need to make some adjustments to the shield design.

The picture below shows what the shield should look like with this type of toilet paper holder. As you can see, the cats had an opportunity to shred the toilet paper while I was making the shield. You can see the tutorial after the cut.

If you think my works are worth something, you may donate to PAWS using Paypal. PAWS is one of 3 non-government organizations I know in the Philippines that rescues animals from cruelty and neglect. Aside from taking care of animals in their animal shelter, they are also volunteering in caring for animals in flooded towns caused by typhoons. They have a one time gift option at the bottom of the online donation page. Happy Holidays!!!

Pokemon Building #2

I bring you the Pokemon Center papercraft! Assembly is similar to the pokemon mart.

Yesterday I was browsing some Pokemon Diamond screen shots and realized that the PC and PM only have the gray posts at the front of the building. I didn't want to remove the posts around the building so it won't look boring at the back.

I really should have made papercraft buildings of games I actually played. Like Harvest Moon... hmmm... not a bad idea.

Pokemon Building #1

It's a pokemon building papercraft! I might do the others if I have time. Lots of pictures after the cut.

I'm not quite sure if this is what it's supposed to look like but it's the best I could do after staring at the 2D sprites from the game.

Kitty Cats!

Here are the cats to go along with your Yasmine papercraft! A little harder than usual because it's cylindrical and both ends are to be closed. For easier assembly, use a glue with a faster drying time than Elmer's glue.

I just re-textured the papercraft cat from here. Also changed the feet to so that both sides will have color on it. You can rescale it using Foxit pdf reader to make it smaller.

Really confusing Assembly Instructions: Cut the template. Fold and glue the ears, tail and feet. Pre-curl (is that even a word?) the body by running it along a side of the table so it will curve easily. Insert the feet through the slits at the bottom of the body. Glue the body to form a elliptical cylinder. Close the model by gluing the face and the butt to the body.
