Silent Hill Papercraft!

I finally made a Silent Hill papercraft. Yay! Seeing as how Silent Hill is my favorite game series, this was long overdue. This pattern was actually the first papercraft I had found. I wanted to make it, but wasn't sure how to start. Now that I am better with my craft I built it, it wasn't hard. I love it! Its a little scene from Silent Hill 2. That's James with a pipe, and a nurse with a pipe. The room behind her is 302. The bottom says:

"A tubbypaws blocky 3d paper happy fun model tribute to the foggy fog game, the second one, the one with the pillow..."

I thought it was so hilarious that I glued the description to the bottom. Wanna make your own? Click the picture and It'll take you to her site. She also has a portal diorama, Grand Theft Auto, and even the release of the iPad.

On another note, today I recieved my package from my swap partner for the craftster World of Warcraft swap. She made lots of neat stuff and I love it all. But I haven't heard back from her on mine. It makes me feel like I didn't put much into it, but my papercrafts take me at least 2 days of constant work for 1 project (big ones). I think it was enough time spent, but I dunno. Her stuff was so great. Maybe I just am nervous since its my first swap. I can't wait to see what she thinks.

Also I read in game informer that females aged 25 and older now make up the largest segment of PC-gamers. At 46.2%. That means more women are playing PC games than men for this age range. I wonder if they are including Harvest Moon- er I mean... farm ville. If they are that is a huge percentage. But I was thinking, between the sims, world of warcraft, puzzle pirates, and farm ville, what other worthy PC games are out there? These are easy to pick up, especially by house wives who want to waste 5 minutes waiting for dinner to cook or laundry to get done. As a female gamer it makes me happy. Once they start getting into the time wasters they'll want more and start playing more involving games. It's been my dream to join an all female raiding guild. With these statistics it looks like I'm getting closer to it.

Chocobo Papercraft!

Hello everyone! *crickets* Ok, ok settle down *wolf howl*, No need to get overly excited....

I am back to update my blog, the one that seems to be hidden away and forgotten. Maybe I don't do enough fun things? I don't know.
I've decided to use this as a forum to post my papercrafts I have completed, not just the ones I have found- which is a lot.
This early Monday morning is a Chocobo from Final Fantasy VII. This Pattern was created by Sane Person. Above I posted pictures of my finished product, and I can say this was certainly frustrating. Most papercrafts include some sort of instruction, like the flaps are numbered, or generally colored to show what goes where. Not with this pattern. I am not saying that I am ungrateful for the free patterns creators upload, but he could have done a .pdo file at least.
I ended up gluing the body on upside down and the neck backwards somehow. This was a good lesson for me to learn my physical dimensions.

- Unrelated: I was told in college that boys have a better understanding of how mechanics work because they have a better geographical mind. Think of gears and how they interact, work. How shapes fit (like this papercraft). The explination? Because they rough house play more than girls. Because they roll around in the dirt, chase each other, and are just more physical- they can better understand how parts interact and take up space. (found that very interesting.)

I'm not saying this papercraft is impossible. It definitely is a worthy challenge, and if you can get the feet right (I could not) he is wonderful to display. Mine is tilted backwards because his feet can't hold his body straight. Well good luck with it!
