Advance Wars Blue Moon Recon release

Although their main task is lifting the "Fog of War" from the battlefield, Recon units usually end up being destroyed in the process...

I always felt that their incredible movement range makes them much more suitable to pick on weaker units, like Infantry trying to capture your HQ.

Well, however you decide to use it, you can download the parts and instructions here:
Have fun building!

(and yes, my next release will be Kingdom Hearts 2 Sora ;o)

Indiana Jones stunt double not included

I haven't assembled the two soldiers yet, so I asked Indiana Jones' Lego stunt double to take their place.

He's a little bigger than the Advance Wars soldiers, so his dad didn't fit anymore.

I don't think he really minds, though.

Stay tuned!

Ah, the smell of permanent markers...

After making sure all the parts fit together properly (and fixing those that don't ;o) it's time to give them some colour.

Then, after scanning the parts, I can copy+paste them onto the final templates adding the parts numbers and other info.

And after that, it's ready to be built! But of course before the release, I'll also need to make some instructions. ;o)

Stay tuned!

Blue Moon's winter camouflage

You know, with a CO like Olaf, such winter camouflage would actually make sense!

The final build with have its distinctive blue colours of course (so it will be clearly visible for anyone on the battlefield... ;o)

The test build went pretty good, I think the proportions look pretty good! It will be a bit cramped for the driver and the gunner, but soldiers are used to that.

Stay tuned!

Papercraft Koume & Kotake + replacement heads

Now that everything is back to normal again after yesterday's April Fool's day, I can show you the status of the Koume and Kotake paper models without everybody thinking it's a joke! (I hope...)

Which is that they're pretty much completed, save for the instructions which I hope I'll be able to do this weekend. ;o)

Stay tuned!

PaperPokés --> PaperDigis


Big news from PaperPokés today: getting tired and bored of making papercraft Pokémon, they decided to switch to making papercraft Digimon from now on instead!

That sure is bad news for Pokémon fans on this special day, April 1st... ;o)
