VULPIX - Valentine's Week Special



037 / VULPIX - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Vulpix
Type: Fire
Species: Fox Pokemon
Height: 0.6m (2′00″)
Weight: 9.9kg (21.8 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: At birth, the Vulpix cub has only one white tail, which apparently splits as it grows older. Not only are Vulpix able to wield Fire-type moves naturally, they also have the ability to learning a few Ghost-type moves such as Grudge and Confuse Ray. Vulpix will feign injury to escape from more powerful predators.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: ~17.0 cm/~6.69 in (.PDO height = 20cm - this is incorrect due to the tail disconnection)
Width: 19.7 cm/7.76 in
Depth: 18.4 cm/7.24 in
No. of Pages: 11
Level: Hard
Designer: Brandon, POdragon and Skelekitty
Photo: Skelekitty
NOTES: If you do attempt to build this model, we recommend the use of 120gsm paper and either Power Pritt Gel or Aleene's Original Tacky Glue - We can not over emphasize how critical really good papercrafting glue is for success in the tail area in particular. In fact, allowing the tail-to-body attachment to cure overnight with the help of "scaffolding" is probably the best way to achieve the desired results.

This model is soooooo beautiful, I made one for my little sister because Vulpix is her favorite (mine too). If you dont have crafters glue you could use hot glue for the tail it worked well on mine.

Wow. looks really good. I wanna make it, and I'm on the head so far. I hate how whenever I fold, the ink (i guess) crinkles and leaves these white lines...looks really bad. Oh well. I hope the person I'm doing this for likes the finished result! Thanks guys!

@ BaiatulCuPizza

We don't actually do video tutes, but you should be able to piece the template together using Pepakura Viewer.

Keep in mind Vulpix is lablled "hard".

Good luck.

I can't seem to figure out where to attach the tail pieces to the body..... any tips? I have them all together, but do I glue them to each other first, then the body? or one at a time? I'm really confused.....

PAPERPOKES said...

You glue all the pieces of the tail together first, then attach the whole thing to the bottom.
