Paper what? Craft? Model?

2009-08-15T16:11:00.004-03:00

After long months I was thinking if people still remembers that this blog is about papercraft. Actually, after all these months I started to wonder if I still remembered that this blog was started because of papercraft. Now, after quite a time (what? 2 months?) I come back with one simple model that I was designing since a long time ago. Isn't something huge or spectacular, actually it's

You may disregard this post

Long time since I last posted an update right? Well, it's not the time yet. Well, for some reason google decided to delete the list of blogs I was following from my dashboard out of the blue. There weren't that many blogs but still it's not really cool to have that list deleted. Maybe it was just a bug and they'll fix it later, maybe it was just a bug but they won't recover the list, maybe

Patriotism?

2009-08-11T12:18:00.005-03:00

Before you even begin reading this, be aware that this will probably be a long post in which I'll make a short dissertation about my point of view in patriotism in my own country (or something along those lines). So, this post will probably be a little different from what I normally post here. And to better understand it you'll need to remember/know that I'm a Brazilian guy so have that in

Done!

2009-07-25T23:37:00.006-03:00

No, not a papercraft...oh dang, when am I going to release a new paper model? Did I forget that this blog should be mainly about paper models? What's happening? Well, so what's done? Is that done? That that I talked about last post? Yes, that's it! Let's talk a little about it. Some of these that I'll write here you'll also find at the end of the video or in the details column. It's

Good news, bad news, news, updates

2009-07-22T18:11:00.003-03:00

Well, news, updates and all that. What have I been doing? Since the last post I've been trying to finish recording my first composition with lyrics and whatever. Only today I managed to finish and the result is far from expected but whatever, I believe this is the best I can do right now with the patience, equipment and ability that I have available. Since I can't sing there are no

Vacations, free time, nothingness...what a mess

2009-07-16T15:17:00.003-03:00

Well, it's been a quite time since I last posted right? Yes. And why am I posting now? Did something good happened? Did I finish something and am ready to share? Am I just wasting your time? If your guess is the last one than I would say that you're most likely correct though I'll try to prove it wrong (will I be able to?). Anyway, this past week was completely useless to my hobbies.

Vacations at last!

2009-07-06T00:57:00.003-03:00

Vacation, where I wanna be! Party on the beach where the fun is free We don't need a holiday, let's start to celebrate Ok, whatever. Just some old song that came up in my mind when I wrote "Vacation" at the title of this post. Anyway, now I need to learn how to relax and need to organize my time and discipline myself to follow an organization, and you can tell everybody this

Almost finished

2009-07-01T20:07:00.005-03:00

Good god...June is over and it was a horrible month for this blog, only four entries. And what's almost finished? One of my project? Another new design? A new template? No! My classes and the semester! Almost there, almost there! Only more two days of suffering and agony. Yes, I don't even know if I want these two days to end soon because I have one presentation tomorrow and another on

Semester is almost ending...

2009-06-23T19:49:00.002-03:00

...and now is the time of the semester that I'm most packed. Just more this and the next week and my classes are over for the semester but I have yet two presentations to prepare and present and two tests to do. This is completely depressing me specially because I'm not in the mood to do anything but I still have lots of things to do. Therefore I don't do the things I should do and I'm also

PC is back

2009-06-15T21:10:00.005-03:00

Ok, now I'm catching up with the blogs since the pc is back. Not completely problemless (ok, this word doesn't exists, I guess, but it's cool to add the suffix "-less" to the words :P). The power button was fixed but the power source wasn't exchanged because there wasn't another one readily available and there are chances that it'll take one month for them to get another one so it's much

PC unavailable

2009-06-12T13:21:00.002-03:00

Yup, that´s right. Last post I said that I was going to send the cpu to the assistance because of some problems and in the end I sent it there this tuesday only. Now I´m posting from another pc, not from the one I usually do so this is just a notice about my current status. I don´t know if I´ll be able to visit the blogs I usually visit meanwhile so I´m also apologizing for the lack of

[Insert desired title here]

2009-06-02T19:57:00.007-03:00

Freezing. Well, not really but it's really cold for me. I'm not that used to cold weather so every degree that decreases hits me, stealing my heat, stealing my will (little) to do anything. So, how cold is it? Something around 14°C or 57F. Cold? Maybe not for you but for me it is. Now, leaving the temperature aside let's see what else I have to talk about...well, Prinsesa Musang decided

3 months...

2009-05-28T18:49:00.003-03:00

...ago I was making this post here. February 28th was the day I started blogging. At that time I was still using that pre-made layout offered by blogger and wasn't quite sure how it would turn out. Now I'm still using the same layout but I at least I got to add my own backgrounds. Also, three months and 56 posts later here am I, with 3 released models, hopefully with the fourth and fifth on

7 days

2009-05-27T15:04:00.003-03:00

Almost. Almost 7 days without posting an update. What is happening? I'm almost done with re-designing Himeguma, it just needs some final adjustments on the unfold and it'll be ready for the next step that is test building. Unfolding is pretty boring if you want to know. It's a manual process, its boring level is proportional to the number of edges the model have and yes, it's boring. Some

Why I'm not progressing as much as I did before

2009-05-21T20:47:00.002-03:00

So, today I'm going to talk about why my progress rate has dropped considerably since I started blogging. First reason is because of college. It's taking some of my time and as I said on the last post when I have free time I end up using it with some mindless and effortless entertainment such as games (the ones you don't have to think too much like racing, adventure, vs and others) and

Himeguma Gijinka+Answer to a question

2009-05-19T21:10:00.006-03:00

Well, following the comment Prinsesa Musang left in the previous post I decided to focus more on just one project right now and that is remodeling the Himeguma Gijinka. This is by far my favorite design so I want to make it as best as I can right now. I have pretty much been able to redesign her right sleeve, reduced it to 4 or 5 pieces instead of the previous 8 and I also decided to

Priorities

2009-05-17T17:02:00.003-03:00

Well, I should learn to set priorities and stick to them :P Himeguma is being slowly edited. Slowly because I need to crack my mind trying to figure out how to improve it. Project IV is still waiting to be printed. I hope to print it Tuesday. I'm still thinking if I'm really going to write a tutorial and post in my blog. Music is simply halted in my life, I should practice

Current Status

2009-05-15T21:37:00.003-03:00

Lately it's been quite hard for me to update because there are simply no updates to do. Today I decided to tell the current status of the projects I'm working on (not that there are that many :P) Project IV: Waiting test build Himeguma Gijinka: Redesiging Possible next model: Already designing Currently building: Nothing ATM. Future posts: Thinking, thinking So

Designing Process

2009-05-13T20:35:00.002-03:00

Wow, so many days since I last posted here. Life has gotten quite busy these days but now I think I have some time to post something new here. Well, life is still quite busy so when I have some free time I end up using it to simply surf the internet or watch something and unfortunately because of this I've basically halted this hobby. I need to get my *ss moving and restart modeling and

Designing process - Introduction

2009-05-09T08:39:00.004-03:00

So, how do people design a papercraft? I can't really answer how people design GOOD papercrafts but I can try to explain some processes. But before doing that we need to define what exactly a GOOD papercraft is. Some may say: -Ah, good papercrafts are the ones that looks awesome when finished. Others may say: -No, good papercrafts are the ones that are really, really

Editing, editing

2009-05-06T21:12:00.002-03:00

Well, I started thinking on how to edit Himeguma but I have yet to figure out how to do a good job. And not it's hard to think because I'm simply dead, completely sleepy. Hard to think straight...and for some reason I feel the need to eat even though I'm not hungry. Guess that if I brush my teethes this urge to eat will cease. Well, guess I'm going to do so. Today was a long day, tomorrow will

Himeguma Gijinka Papercraft

2009-05-04T19:26:00.002-03:00

Yesterday...all my troubles seemed so far away! No, not that. Let's try again. Yesterday I posted about my Himeguma gijinka papercraft. Today I decided to talk a little bit more about the model itself. That model I started modeling more than a month ago, maybe even two months ago and actually I finished it a few weeks after creating this blog. A few weeks later I test built it

Done! But...

2009-05-03T14:31:00.005-03:00

Is this it? No! something is missing! Extras! Extras! Add extras! Now, extras, the difference! Hope I won't lose these! And after adding ALL the extras (didn't shot every one, I forgot :P) this is what we get! Now, I liked this model but it's a pain in the *** to build it. In other words, I think it's pretty badly modeled. I don't know if I messed up while building it (specially

What's going on?

2009-05-02T23:25:00.003-03:00

Nothing, really :þ But things are getting shape: And another angle: Actually now I'm kind of stuck and I need to think (again) what's the best way to keep the building. I hope to have it settled and finished by tomorrow. Let's wait and see.

Finally the week is over

2009-04-30T22:10:00.002-03:00

Finally! Tomorrow is holiday so the week ends today. Even though I do have some stuff to do I'm so fed up that I don't know if I'll do. Well, I probably will because I have to but not tomorrow. Now I don't know what I'm going to do, so many things in the leisure time list. Only now I got time to work on my models again so I guess I could finish that model from the last post (which is still
