Stocking Anarchy Papercraft Mode WIP - UPDATE!

Panties! Panties! Panties!

Well, it's been slow going lately, but I've started with a test build. And... what better place to start on any model? This actually appeared to be the most difficult to build, based on the intricate details of the bow and frills. With a little patience, it turned out pretty nice. 

From the beginning I new this was going to be trouble. I'll edit out  the band (that thin strip of paper) because that's just pointless...

I'm happy with the over all shape. I've simplified a few times already, and I think at this point there is a good balance of contours and edges.

You wouldn't believe the fun I had with this one.I was rushing to test it out, I left a lot of strips behind. I was cutting with scissors not my exacto knife. So, yeah... a little bit sloppy.

Just to give you an idea of what I'm working with here. Ain't he adorbs? Very coquettish! The teal looks good on him, really brings out the silver in his eyes.

Putting on the finishing touches. You can see here I already added the frill. That was fun. 

And Here, We see the finished product! Frills, bow and stripes! If you look closely you can see the thin little band around the waist. Won't be in the finished pattern, though. It was a lot of work, but, I enjoyed it. Really like seeing a model come together. Until next time, Neurons and Neuronettes! 

Keep'em firing!

RWBY Ruby Rose Papercraft Finished!

Ruby Rose Finished Figure

After hours and hours of intensive work.

Cutting and gluing... Scoring and folding...

She's finally finished!

From head to boot, what a FANTASTIC model! The pictures hardly do her justice, she is definitely something that must be seen in person to be truly appreciated. The difficulty level is moderate - high. Not to many intricate parts, but some very intricate folds which give Ruby a nice continuous shape. The most difficult being her hands, followed by her boots. Ruby's scythe was the easiest thing to assemble, being its simply a silhouette, but really brings the whole model together. In the end she ended up being approximately 42 cm tall and definitely the largest model I have built yet.

My favorite part has got be Ruby's skirt. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't have scored it so heavily, and let the creases roll more than fold to give it a more natural look. But, even as they are now, I'm still impressed by them. Her hair looks pretty rad, too!

You can see, I painted the back of her hood and under her skirt with a light red watercolor. 

I was actually surprised how big her scythe turned out to be. I walked around the house swinging it for awhile. I added extra support on the back to keep it from curling.

Another thing that astonished me, she was very capable of holding the scythe. Ruby actually held the scythe on her own, no glue or tape!

You can't tell me this isn't cool...

And that's that! 

It has been a most fantastic journey. From print to pose, thanks to all who came along for the ride. Thanks for the "Likes" and "Shares", and the questions and interest. If anyone is interested in a Ruby of their own, you can download
