This model has been made as part of a collaboration between and to finally bring you all a detailed papercraft of Midna in her imp form.
The pictures here are from Studio of M.M's excellent 122cm build! Have a look at some of her full photos: [link][link]
Derived from her trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, I edited Twilight Princess' fiesty imp into a form suitable for building way back in autumn 2011. But it was in an awkward floating pose and I ended up working on my Garrus model instead and forgot about her for a long time. A year later I learned to re-pose it in Blender to a more basic but workable standing position, edited it a lot more and made an unfold.
But technically there's a catch compared to my usual models. I only built most of the body file before stopping (not however due to bad design I stress). Sadly the colours of the skin came out all dark from my printer, including what should've been the lighter toned bits. So I lost interest but it would've been a shame to shelve the model for a second time. Fortunately *studioofmm volunteered kindly to help me out...although she had it in mind to edit and enlarge the whole thing to build a life sized version! So now with her great finished photos and the knowledge that the model is buildable all the way through, I'm releasing both of our versions of the template.
So in short there's a normal 37cm version and a life sized 122cm version available (the Fused Shadow makes up about 33% of the height). But no instructions, PDO files only because you'll certainly need them: best not to be messing around trying to figure things out from a PDF. But we've included plenty of notes to try and help you, however it goes without saying that you might want to have some experience in papercrafting already.
If you have any questions, please ask me about the general model/smaller template, or Studio of M.M about the life sized one. We'll try to help as best as we can!
Please tell me if you spot any errors that I might have missed due to not building it myself. (not something I'm going to make a habit of)
-------Read Before Downloading-------
It's a 8.75MB RAR file which contains PDOs to print from and use as a references. 17 pages for the small one (not including stand), and a whopping 120 pages to bust your printer ink on for the life sized one.
You can open the RAR archive with software such as WinRAR, Alzip, 7Zip. Just search around!
You can open the PDO files with Pepakura Designer downloadable free here: [link]
You will need to use these to print from and figure out where the parts go, especially for the big template. It won't work on Macs unfortunately unless you emulate Windows etc.
Unless you're pretty crafty or already have experience in this kind of thing then yeah sorry it'll be pretty hard. From what I managed to build of the 37cm one, it's got many small sections that could cause trouble, whilst the lifesized version likely requires some special techniques and planning.
Whoa, the model looks so detailed and well done! I must try this one when I get better at papercrafting - Midna happens to be my favourite character in the whole series.
I've been looking for something like this for a long time, and it's just what my new apartment needs. After I get a printer... Thanks it's very impressive.
Glad you like it, I'm very grateful to Studio of M.M for building my template and providing these lovely pictures
Great job!
