Sora test build: part 3

So far so good! The torso went together pretty nicely, I added the new yellow straps around Sora's legs, and I was able to test the balance!

So after fixing the things I found out during the test build so far, all that's missing now are the hands, Keyblade, and Sora's head.

Stay tuned!

You know you're a cartoon character...

...when your feet are actually bigger than your body! ;o)

I changed the texture on Sora's pants, and made the lower yellow straps as seperate strips, just like the upper ones that connect to his belt. While playing a game you might not notice the difference, but in a static paper model, it's more logical to do them the same way, I think.

With Sora's hood, arms and neck, there are a lot of parts and folds that join together at the shoulders, which could make it pretty difficult to build... But I think I found a nice and easy way to put it all together. I'll test it of course, to see if it really works out the way I think. ;o)

Stay tuned!

Straps and strips

Although I've been busy with all kinds of stuff the past few days, I was able to test build the legs (as you can see, obviously ;o)

Although I mainly use the test build to see if all the parts can be glued together properly like I imagined in my mind, it is useful for a lot things, because now you can really see what it will look like in paper form!

One of those things, is how the yellow straps around Sora's leg look. It is strange, but the lower straps are actually part of the texture as you can see in this test build, but the other straps are really seperate strips...

I think it will look really strange to use different methods on what is basically the same thing though...

The "textured straps" look a bit dissappointing like this, so I guess I will change the texture, and make these straps as seperate strips of paper as well, just like the other ones.
