Papercraft Progress

(Originally posted at https://wp.me/p2sEtx-Gd)


I haven’t made any more customs, but here’s some stuff I’ve built lately:

Clockwise from top left corner: IT, Paper Totem by Admskt, Rumbolt, handlink from Quantum Leap, and Tubby Eat Coin

• IT is from Made in Paperland (site is in Russian). I have an original I’m going to make inspired by it, based on the Kaypro II computer.


• Paper Totem was a platform toy by Dolly Oblong. They’re not easily available anymore. This was one of the customs.


• Rumbolt is from Fold Up Toys. It was really fiddly to make.


• The handlink is from mikedaws.


• Tubby Eat Coin is from Zerolabor. I have two customs sketched out for it, but I’m not sure if I’m going to make them.

I’m on a papercraft Discord, where we share models that aren’t available anymore (like the paper totems)

Nanibird custom and Happy Turtle

Nanibird is another platform toy, which is no longer available, like at all. This one is by Ivan Ricci at Kawaii-Style (site is in Italian). There are two more by them, but I’m going to make the other Nanibirds smaller.

Happy Turtle is by Fold Up Toys again. It was fun to build.

Tubby Eat Coin is a fun build, but needs a coin inside to stay level. Look at that side-eye!

The head / shoulder area was a pain on Rumbolt. I ended up tearing off a couple of tabs and not gluing some others. They weren’t necessary to keep it together, just to make it neater. I love that bulldoggy face tho!

I’m disappointed that none of the Quantum Leap season sets had a picture of the handlink. The model is a pretty close match.
