Final Fantasy Papercraft - Bahamut

Now that I'm back, I want to make it up to my subscribers for all the silent months that went by without a single post. Here's a paper model of Bahamut, my favorite Final Fantasy summon of all. I don't have an assembly instruction for this one, but it's pretty simple to figure out, I've posted a lot of high quality pictures on Flickr so that you can visualize how to put him together. Good luck and enjoy!

Update - I've received a lot of email complaints from other people about not being able to open the file, if you see an error message from your PDF reader indicating they can't open it, most probably it's because you don't have your Asian/European font pack installed for your PDF reader. Here are the links for Adobe Acrobat and FoxIt readers' language packs.

Back From The Grave

I'm looking for people who would like to join Paperkraft.net as a contributor/blogger. If you have crazy skills in paper crafting (paper models, origami, etc.) send me an email describing why you want to join and some sample photos of your work. You don't have to design your very own paper craft, you can create whatever model you can find on the net and then take pictures of it like you would if you where going to post it on a blog (so I could see your photography skills). Obviously you will also need to have your own digital camera or whatever it is you use to take pictures (having a video camera would be nice but not necessary). There will be no financial gain in this endeavor(coz' there isn't any), only a chance to show the world how great you are with paper crafts.

Final Fantasy Papercraft - Cactuar

Oi paperkraft netizens, here's another Final Fantasy paper model, this green cactus-looking character is the Cactuar (also known as Cactuer, Qactuar, Cactrot, and Sabotender). It's main features are two black dot-eyes, an oblong shape mouth, three red quills on the top of their head, and their trademark pose, stiff arms and legs. On the Final Fantasy video games (FF VIII) they are best known for their 1,000 Needles (Defensive attack), which deals exactly 1,000 hit points of damage to an oponent, regardless of defenses. There was also a Jumbo Cactuar that had the 10,000 Needles attack, which was kinda like an instant-death attack since prior to FF X the maximum number of hit points for a character in FF is limited to 9999. If you noticed that my Cactuar is of a different color (blueish top, green legs) and not solid green, don't panic, it's because mine is of a different breed, it's a color-shifting Cactuar (also known as Printerus Hasno Inkus). This paper model stands about 6" tall and 4" wide and comes with a stand (not shown).

Moogle Papercraft

One of the most loveable characters to come out of the Final Fantasy series is the Moogle (Moguri, Japanese), they are small, good-natured creatures that are usually white or tan in color and has a protruding antenna from its head with a small red, orange, or yellow ball at the end called a "pompom". They have either red or purple wings with ears shaped like a cat or rabbit. You'll know it's a moogle when you hear or see the word "kupo" which is their trademark sound. Next to Chocobos, the Moogles are often considered mascots for the Final Fantasy series. They first appeared on Final Fantasy III for the Famicom (Eurasia) and as Final Fantasy VI for the SNES is North America. Square Enix is going to bring an enhanced remake of Final Fantasy III, updated with 3D visuals to the Nintendo DS by November 2006. Of course Japan will have it first by 08.06 then Europe by 09.06, then finally NA. This moogle paper model was hosted by Takuya, but their site is down so I hope they won't mind if I host it in rapidshare. Enjoy!
