Greenelf's Paper Toys

I recently saw Shin Tanaka's new take on his old boxy toy. He has released 4 new boxy "plastin" toys at http://www.maqet.com/shop/by-artist/shin-tanaka". This process is the same a 3d printing and makes the toy have a ceramic feel to it.
I liked shin's designs so I thought I would make paper versions of his Boxy's.

I came across this toy on my hard drive, I must have made a custom of it a while ago. So I saw the template and thought I would build it to see how it would come out, not bad I think...

This model has taken quite a bit of time and now I'm pleased to say it's finished and away to get played with by somebody who will love it.
I thought I would take pics of it outside but now I wish I had taken other photo's before giving it away, so sorry for the scenery/quality. I got my lovely wife margaret to take a photo of it with myself just to show the scale of the model.

Here's a Tboy that I found down the end of the Garden :) Have always tampered about with rust textures on toys as I love the look and so I finally did a custom using them...

The last tboy had arrived damaged so i was sent a replacement, this too was slightly crushed and that was after it was packed in 3 seperate boxes, yes 3?? I must say that the custom office in the country is very heavy handed with parcels from abroad. Ok I can see their point but come on!

Anyway introducing a new member to the family, shins "keep it real" genuine Tboy toy!! I know, it's great eh! This will be getting stored away from any prying hands, be they small or large!!

I have recently seen a real tboy in the flesh / paper whatever you want to call it,and have examined, looked and measured it and have finally been able to piece together that bits that make a tboy up, quite a complicated toy when you take a good look at it. I have put the pieces together and produced a template of my own of this great piece of work.

I have always adored shins tboy designs and so I have been trying to re-create them for my own and here are the results - let me point out that these are my copies of shins work and therefore not of the same calibre.

This one is 8 inches tall and the 2 below 4 inches tall

Thought I would give an update to the gundam. Well both legs are built and glued to the torso am just waiting on arms getting finally design by Julescrafter over at paper-replika.com, I am so wanting this model finished in the meantime I have started building a sleeping Beauty castle for a friend who wants one so that will take a bit of the time up whilst waiting.
