Interesting Facts: It lives in warm seas. It is said that a couple finding this Pokémon will be blessed with eternal love. Like most fish Pokémon, it's much more maneuverable in the water than on land. It is also able to confuse would-be attackers with Sweet Kiss and Attract. Luvdisc is often seen in groups, where they either have competitions as to who can jump the highest or try to attract mates.

I re-edited the model on pepakura designer and made it a bit more rounder XD so i made your version and my version (and i'm not lying when i say this, but your model looks better than mine XP) Good job!

Just to tell you, i tried it by starting the mouth first instead... and i found it ALOT easier! But besides that, i LOVE the design! keep it up!

Just finished building! A nice model, very simple (even though mine looks kind of bad >:U)
Either way, I built the Valentine's day one for fun, and I built it the opposite way, so I might try the other way ;)
By the way, the 'Gen' maps seem a bit outdated, I tried finding Rayquaza, and it still says it's being testbuilt D:
Well, thank you! And amazing model!

Try using Viewer instead of Designer - http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/
Below Designer it says Viewer, use that one.

Hey, I'm making this now, but what glue do you use, im using plain washable school glue, that supposably "Dries Cleaner" but when i hold down all it does is smear the pink ink, making it white in some places and hot pinkish in others,but its sticking fine. Im using cardstock paper if that helps at all.

I would suggest Tacky Glue. You can usually get it in any Walmart, office supply store, or craft store. Aleene's Tacky Glue is the most common type, and works just fine.

Washable school glue is a bit less viscous (more runny), so it soaks through the paper.

Great, I bought some and it works great, i made a togekiss with it, and i finished my magnemite, i made two screws to compare, the elmers glue paper screw, and a paper screw with tacky glue, and it looked way better, man at this rate i might need a few gallons of this stuff. I might wanna remake the luvdisc but i doubt i will, maybe not soon, maybe later this year, its for my teacher, and im giving the Chibi Togekiss i just made to my mom (Let make this pokemon and give it to the boss)Thanks!
