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
