LEGO papercraft test build #1

Although I haven't modelled all of Kapitein Knoest's 3D parts yet (his bicorne hat and maybe a few other parts) I wanted to start paperfying him already...!

So as you can see, I already unfolded and test built his hips and legs. ;o)

Although I raced through the test build (I hope you take more care building your models than I do my test builds... ;o) luckily everything went together pretty much as I planned!

One part I wasn't really happy with, though, was the flat edge at the hip-part of Knoest's wooden peg leg...

On the tiny minifig, it's so small that it still looks okay, but now that it's much bigger, I think it will look better if the hip-part of the peg leg is one, smooth semicircle, so that is something I will change on the final model.

But first, I'll finish the bicorne!

(or maybe I'll do some more test building first...)

(or maybe I'll do some more work on my Orange Star Fighter...)

(or maybe... ;o)

Stay tuned!
