This is my first post so I'm going to go with what I've been doing most recently, which is Papercraft! I've found that it is a great hobby that requires almost no cash as long as you already have a PC and a printer, which I do.
First off, what is papercraft? Well, in short, its building models out of paper. From cube-figures to fully articulated, massive moving masterpieces! In long, its described here in this wiki page XD.
Here are a few of my starting models:
My first attempt, a failed Goomba, but the wife found a place for it on the kitchen wall.
Boo in a picture frame from the Mario games, it's supposed to "follow you around the room", but again it wasn't the best attempt.
Link (Zelda), an OMG, and a Garlic from zOMG on gaiaonline.com. So far these are my best. The garlic was incredibly simple, the OMG a tad more complicated but not too hard, and Link was very fragile but taught me a lot about how papercraft works, especially since the instructions were in japanese.
I'm currently working on ViVi, the Black Mage from FFVII, here are a few progress shots:
Next post I'll go over the materials needed to papercraft (which aren't many) and the costs etc, and whatever else I feel like talking about XD
Thanks for reading, subscribe, leave comments, click ads (apparently i can get money for that somehow lol), and I'll be back with another post soon!

ReplyDeletePut your request in, what do you want me to make? I can give you links if you want, but be warned, this stuff is time consuming! Eventually I'll be able to design my own, but for now I'm using templates i find on the interwebs. check out paperkraft.net for some of the best stuff on the web!
