A new beginning... Phase 1: the face. I'm leaving out the foil on the eyes here, as the eyes are split. But I will do a test on another figure.

i have no problem with rounding, but as you can see from the two pictures, everything is just edges, i can't round much. Anyone who has already worked with pdo will certainly know this. Anyway, the new printouts are already ready... ;)

I use an inkjet printer and glue everything with waterproof glue. You give me so many good tips and really encourage me to start the figure again. Because - so far I've managed every model, but the figure runs a little differently. :toast:

I give up - Pepakura cannot be used for such figures. Since you never know exactly where to “fold”, nothing fits together over time. The glue joints look horrible. The program is ok for other models, but not for such demanding figures. But I still have a lot of figures in stock as pdf. I will...

well, what can I say - I haven't managed any better and the accuracy of fit also leaves a lot to be desired. But I hope it will look better after a bit of sanding and airbrushing.

wait until you see the other one... :biggrin: By the way, the figure is 23 cm (0,82021 ft) high

right foot ready. Don't be irritated by the sanding work, unfortunately it is essential despite having your own adhesive folds. The figure will be airbrushed with new skin color after completion. Continue to the left foot...

the shoes are finished, but they are not the same (see picture of the figure in the second post). thought I had made a mistake. I continue with the legs...important helpers are finereader and pastel crayon powder.

I had to take a short break from my figure - it's killing me. To relax in between, I finished off the “old forge”. Now I'm starting again with the figure - but from the bottom up, face to the end.

would be worth a try.

Thank you for your encouragement. I owe it to you, so an hour ago I decided to start all over again, I just can't get any peace. I'm going to replace it with thinner paper, which I'll stick to the back - I've already tested it and found it to be good.

Yes, figures are among the most difficult works on paper. My figure is one of the few I have where the face is split, all the others you only need to glue 2-3 times on the forehead and round, it's easier. Of course, in my inexperience with figures, I had to start with a complicated top. But I'll...

Thank you for your encouragement, the project will be continued at a later date. I will therefore start another project for the time being and will let you know when it is ready. :toast:

Hi folks, I wanted to add this following part today. After three attempts, I have given up for the time being. It didn't work with either the folds or the paper strips. It's all just too small to get it to stick and then there's this crazy poligon folding. One wrong fold and you can destroy the...

I'm still using the tabs at the moment, it was still too small and fine for paper strips. I will use paper strips from time to time for the larger parts.

The squirrel eats with difficulty... Almost impossible without a ‘third hand’. I don't understand why these figures have to be square?

a new beginning... and very important - the third hand ;)

zathros is right. I started all over again. The next two parts in the picture above couldn't be attached and I don't like the face either. This has the following reason, which you have to consider with figures and I had no experience with it yet: it is the folding. Here you not only have to...

thanks

sorry, forgot to translate, Thanks for the tip with the smoothing
