Kaiju No. 8 paper craft action figures

 I finally finished a few new paper craft action figure. 

However, I might have taken a few shortcuts, particularly with the heads. I was in Japan a few weeks ago and found some miniature figures of Kaiju No 8 characters. 

I immediately saw the scale was very close to the SHFiguarts line. 

Without hesitation, I bought a bunch and customized paper craft bodies for Hibino and Reno. 

Please watch the clip and view the pictures below

Paper craft Action figures 

With Bandai Dragon Ball Model Kits and original SHFiguarts Sochiro. 

Iron Man Seven Inch Paper craft action figure

 This all began as a bunch of paper strips. 

But just use them with a little imagination and glue and you get an iron man (made of paper)

I will try to make the original avengers line up from the 1960s comics 

They were Iron Man, Thor, Ant Man and wasp. 

Please check out the pictures and video

Mighty Thor paper craft action figure

 Hello again paper crafter enthusiasts. I've recently ( just last night) finished my newest action figure. It's the Mighty Thor! The comics version that all marvel fans know and love

The Mighty Thor 

He is scaled to match the size of Macfarlane action figures. 

I'm planning to make Iron Man and Hulk based on their early appearance in the comic books. 

I used the basic articulation style 
that I usually use 

I am on a roll recently, completing three action figures in the span of a week. 

I hope to complete my Luke action figure in scale with the black series Mando soon

Please watch the YouTube video of the Mighty Thor! ( Link below)

Thundercats Papercraft Tygra

 

Here's my new MOTU style Papercraft of that Master of Camouflage, Tygra! 

He's roughly the height of my Lion O Papercraft figure. He looks good together with his fellow thundercats. 

I used that basic articulation that I usually use for this scale. Paper tube joints for the shoulders and arms. The joints of his hips are two tubes overlapping each other the make it narrow and in proportion to the paper mache shell. 

Please watch the video the see the assembly and the final look

The concept of Miniature Action Figure Models

This is a prototype of a miniature action figure paper craft model that I've been working on. It's meant to be Raiden from Metal Gear Guns of the Patriots. Despite it's small size, I was able to put a lot of articulation  into him to get into some dynamic poses. 

As can be seen in the pictures, he can get into some nifty action poses reminiscent of his moves in Metal Gear 4. 

Seeing that this proof of concept model works, I will try to make more of them. I will make a Gray Fox ninja model and Raiden the in his Black Ninja form

Paper craft Lion O

I had a sudden inspiration to create a MOTU STYLE Thundercats. And who should it be but none other than their fearless leader 

Lion O. 

The final result was better than I expected. This model turned out solid and glossy. I did something different this time. I layered the paper mache shell with super glue resin and it made the material super rigid and the surface was smooth has a glossy look. 

It looks and feel like an actual action figure that you could play with instead of a fragile paper craft model

I think I will be using this method moving forward in my future models

Next up, I will be making an action figure of Hachiman, Jaga and maybe Cheetarah

Carrie Kelly paper and foam action figure

I have been working on a hybrid paper and foam clay action figure and I think the two media can be combined to make some great figures. Here is the first completed figure. Carrie Kelly or Robin from the Dark knight returns I will be making more figures in the future using a combination of the two medium (paper and foam clay) foam clay offers a versatility in sculpting and looks more natural when making humans and animal figures below are the pictures and a link to my YouTube channel
