That is pretty cool, must have taken a ton of patience, money, talent and time to built those.

So this is the new feature, pretty neat.

This is neat but...

Please edit the Hatsune Miku section. I dont know how many more times I'm going to have to say this, but Miku is not the star of any upcoming anime. Miku is not the star of BlackRock Shooter. BlackRock Shooter is the star of BlackRock Shooter. Miku is not BlackRock Shooter. BlackRock Shooter is not Miku.
The only two connection the two have is that Miku was used to sing a song about BlackRock Shooter, which was also called BlackRock Shooter, and it is this song that is credited with bringing the BlackRock Shooter character to fame. Otherwise they have nothing to do with eachother!

whew.

Is that Unit-01 really made out of paper? Shocked

I never knew paper and glue was such a versatile medium.

Those are really sweet.

My favorites are 1-6. Even though I've never seen Howl's or have played Phantasy Star. They just look really good and cool. Really amazing stuff. The Ichigo one is pretty neat too.

Lol, dude. I feel you but, simmer down a bit. Haha. The confusion also lies in the fact that the design of BRS looks rather similar to Miku, so pretty much anyone who sees an image and doesn't know better will assume, and it just perpetuates out from there. But hey, one small victory at a time. Smile

And these papercraft are awesome.

PS> Love the site changes, and the tone changes in the articles. Keep up the good work, ANN.

How about the Lego versions of these too? Even better, Lego stop-motion. Laughing

*sighs long, deep, and heavy

All this article did was to show me how pathetic I am. The figma Golgo 13 came with a papercraft backdrop. Even with indented folds, I couldn't make it look good even with the help of 17 rolls of tape and a little spit.

Anime cry

Oddly, this task of building the backdrop actually had me doing a Google search on papercraft. Some people certainly have mad skills, that's for sure.

The only thing I get from folding paper is a cut.

Ah, I didn't mean to come off as overly angry or anything. It's just that all over the internet it seems people are calling BRS 'that vocaloid anime' when Vocaloid has nothing to do with the anime.

To be perfectly honest...I really dont think BRS even looks like Miku, either. They both have twintails...but that's really it. Lots of anime/manga characters have twintails. And besides, BRS's arent even the same kind as Miku's. BRS's are of two different lengths, for one thing, and Miku's are more...impossibly long and flair out at the ends. If BRS bears a resemblance like any existing character, I'd say early Lenalee in D.Gray-man.
tl;dr I think BRS has a really nice and unique character design and I think it's kind of unfair to huke for people to say she's a ripoff of Miku solely because she has twintails.


Getting back on topic, that Lumia papercraft is really impressive. From the thumbnail picture, it looks like a figure.

I see that Kaneda's iconic motorcycle did not make the current list. A pity as well, I might add.

I tried to make a print-out papercraft model of it on a whim once. My lack of correct tools, in addition to my limited attention span, soon put an end to such a project however.

I noticed that lack of that too, it can be seen here. I admit I don't quite have the skill for it, I need a better precision cutter for it and maybe some insta-dry glue, looking at just the layout design of the pieces.

Anyway, I have done quite a few papercrafts before, good for passing time at the dorm. Here's a few and here's a few more. Those pictures are so massively out of date though, Dratini, Snorlax, Deku Link, and Hello Kitty Mario to name a few aren't pictured in there (although I do have a few close-up shots of Deku Link)

p.s., my personal favorite papercraft in my collection is Jack Frost

the dude who made the castle is a genius! I loved how his cat kept getting in the middle of everything. xD Miyazaki and the author of Howl's Moving Castle should be impressed with this. Smile
