I present you my Another one of my creations, built and ready to be shows to the worldI present you my





Cramorant, from the new Pokemon Sword & Shield game, coming out sooonnn~





I first did the head feather-piece, since it is fiddly to make, and I (BUILDING TIP? maybe) tend to make the hard parts first, so after that I can have more fun making them. Well that's my strategy at least, also because when I start I am more concentrated and rested than later in the built. Anyway, after that I decided to make the beak, since I wanted it to be nice and clean, since it is the center piece and from there made the whole head till his 2-sided feathers on his neck.





SUPER PRO TIP: if I had the uncolored PDF flap file that wouldn't be a problem, but then I don't tend to get the good results at the end, because colored flaps let you a 5mm fault safe, so you still have the vibrante colors of the papercraft - wihtout having to recolor them at the end -, even if you glue it together 5mm too far, so I suggest you always use the colored flap PDF's for really flawless results, such as this. Putting in more effort when building always makes the end result worth your time ). So after I got those I was super happy, because those were the hardest parts of the fold and I did those really neatly so I was happy. After those I made the sepparate 2 feet, and then the tail. After I had those parts, I started to build it from tail, though the legs, and at the end attached the wings on the lower bodypart (wings after they are built attach really nice and easy, so no worries the won't hold or anything, they will with no reinforement needed). And as soon as I got the body, I attached it at the neck part with the head (since you can do easily, because of the 2-sided feathers on his neck, so you can finish the craft with open edges, nice and simple). And violla, it was finished Just the few finishing touches at the end, which I always do at the end, since those little cosmetic 2-sided things tend to fall off when you are building it, so I always glue them on at the end. After I had that I decided to do the next fiddly pieces, which are the wings. Pretty tricky really, since they are super tight and in the folded flaps PDF you sometimes don't have all the finishing lines, coz Pepakura does that to near edges, so I had to cut them in the inner parts by feel (). So after I got those I was super happy, because those were the hardest parts of the fold and I did those really neatlyso I was happy. After those I made the sepparate 2 feet, and then the tail.

The papercraft also stands with no problems at all, since he has 2 nice big flappy feet, so you don't need to extra reinforce it or put weight in it. And he looks his clumsy, adorable body self as he is
