Shaymin

With Valentine's Day coming up, I put Blaziken aside and made this for my girlfriend. No progress shots, since the adorable little thing only took me 18 hours to complete. So here's just some shots of the finished product.

Blaziken #1

So I've started on my next model, Blaziken. Credit goes to Brandon of Paperpokes for the design. I'm already starting to doubt how good the build quality on this one will be, simply dude to how many small and hard to attach pieces there are around te head. The rest of the body looks like it wont be too difficult, but the head is pretty tiny and was hard to work with.

 

Charizard Completed

So the model is finally complete. Tail was pretty easy right up until the tip, very small and hard to work with. Flame wasnt too bad until it had to be closed up at the bottom, no room to get inside and hold the tabs together. Dodgy system for attaching it to the tail too, it pretty much just sits over it, but it seems to have worked

Overall though, not as difficult as I was expecting it to be. Until I become a father, this earns the title of the best thing I've made using large amounts of a sticky white substance.

 

Charizard 2

So I've now attached the legs to the model. Feet were easy enough, big enough to work on without too muc trouble. Little difficult attaching the ends of the legs to the body, simply due to the large size of the tabs.

Coins in the feet to weigh it down. Currently falls forward, but with the tail attached it should be balanced evenly.

Charizard 1

Continuation of my Facebook posts on the Charizard model, currently working on attaching the chest pieces to hold the arms and hopefully stabilise the wings a little. Wings were a lot less difficult to make then I was expecting, claws and finer points suc as the teeth were fiddly as always, but not particularly difficult given the size of the model.

I wont be able to use it as the most awesome finger puppet ever for much longer.
