PaperCraft Museum

January 2009

• Beginner Tutorial Update
  January 05
  A simple video about navigating Pepakura Viewer 3 is uploaded into the Beginner Tutorial section, which has a few changes there as well.

December 2008

• Pokemon Update
  December 29
  Some of the old pokemon pictures are replaced with the built model version done by those who made Paperpokes. The Pokemon models updated today are all from their website which is very organized and they even have the A4 papersize option.
• Glue Tab Planning
  December 25
  New video added to advanced tutorial. Also a few typos fixed.
• Downtime with Upgrade
  December 20
  Sorry about the long downtime, but it is now slightly easier for you to find the model you want! In the Museum, you can now alphabetize, and sort through pieces, pages, ratings, and date, within a category. You can also see only one category at a time in the Gallery (via the Categories page).
• Your Pics Gallery
  December 20
  The gallery to the pics sent by you has been added awhile ago, but no one seemed to notice, so a side-bar menu link has been added.
• BBoy Papercraft
  December 15
  Added a new video to Paper Creations.
• New Poll
  December 11
  Be sure to vote in the poll on the bottom-left corner. I would like to know how people prefer to navigate around this website.

November 2008

• Nov 30 model update
  November 30
  Replaced a bunch of the maplestory papercraft links with picture guidances, and also replaced the cartoon version of their pics with pics of the built pics.
• Advanced Tutorial Complete
  November 20
  Well, not absolutely complete but I have material for every section that I intended to have. I'll be making edits, adding here, and deleting there. I'll mention any major edits in this update column. Please please please let me know if anything is confusing because I am very open to editing the confusing parts.

October 2008

• Halloween Costume Video
  October 30
  I made myself a costume for Halloween night. Check it out at the bottom of the Paper Creations section!
• Ike in Paper Creations
  October 28
  I finished making a papercraft model of Ike, half-sized for the challenge. Some of the pieces used to build Ike were shown in the advanced tutorial, but the rest were too small to demonstrate with. I'll have to find another model to make to finish the tutorial.
• Google Ads
  October 27
  Just putting these up to see if I can break even with the costs of upkeep for the website.
• Scoring and Folding sections added
  October 20
  The next sections will be strategizing and gluing. I haven't figured out how to organise that yet so it may take awhile.
• Cutting Tutorial Update
  October 16
  Introduction and cutting tutorial section updated, you may find it under "Advanced Tutorial". More sections will come soon.
• Category Browse List
  October 11
  This list was added last night. Just another way to browse for the model you want.
• 1,000th Model and Gallery
  October 10
  Thanks to all the hard-working designers out there who distribute papercraft templates for free, there is now 1,000 models in the museum directory! A new "Gallery" section is made, which is just another faster way to browse for what you want. Enjoy!
• Adult Link Stop Motion Video
  October 07
  Check it out in the Paper Creations section! I used different techniques to make this one, and will be including them in my advanced tutorial when I have my ideas finalized. I have not been updating the models much because I'm planning on making a series of videos about building techniques. There are currently 869 models in the Museum. I will reorganise the tags and categories after 1,000 models so it'll be easier to find what you want.
• Gundam Nomenclature
  October 03
  This Gundam update gave me the biggest headache because most of them are in Japanese websites that distribute parts of the full model in different places of their blog and the names of these models makes less sense to me than Latin. If you are familiar with the correct names, please by all means, feel free to comment and correct me! I am also looking for someone to help update this model database (payment is a possibility). Please contact me if interested.

September 2008

• Rare Botpa Update
  September 18
  Botpa's wonderful MapleStory and KartRider models went down when the website went down. Fortunately, a wonderful papercraft collector has archived all of it and is willing to send me a copy for the website, so anticipate another large update soon!
• Proper Crediting
  September 13
  Today I was browsing the wowpapercraft website (which will be my next huge museum update) and stumbled upon the original Snorlax link. I remember doing a Snorlax update, but is linked to a website that linked directly to the Snorlax download url. Whenever I make updates to the museum database, I always try to find the original source and credit the designer. It's so dissapointing how people who design the models don't receive proper credit. A few of the prominent papercraft blogs out there link directly to the download url and bypasses credit to the creator.. and no one would know. I link directly to the download url is if the original is in a forum where it's too confusing for visitors to browse through, or if I cannot find the original. If you see that I have an improper download link, please let me know and I will change it asap. Thank you.
• Pic Submission Gallery Up!
  September 09
  When you submit pics, it will be posted on the side of the model's page, and underneath the "Submit Your Pic" picture, there's Archives link. Or you can scroll to the very bottom of any page and there's a "Your Pics Archive" link. There, everyone's pic submission will be displayed. So far, I have completed model pics sent from iichiigo, Eddie, and Silver. Keep up the good work guys! :)
• "About" page updated
  September 08
  The about page is completely rewritten for accuracy. Visit it to learn about me and the PaperCraft Museum!
• Forum Launched
  September 06
  Come. Join. Now. :)
• Cloud Stop Motion Completed
  September 03
  That's right! Check out the Paper Creations section to see the stop motion video of Cloud being put together. This one isn't that bad, only the hair was confusing and tricky. If you have trouble making any of these models please feel free to ask me through the Contact page. When the forums are up, more information will be available for everybody on how to complete these models.

August 2008

• Forum In Construction
  August 28
  That's right! We will be working on putting up a forum hopefully by next month, and I have lots of exciting plans for that other than simply discussion, such as contests and polls! I'm still working on Cloud, finished the head and the body. The hair was painful to make.. thirteen strands of hair, each ending in a fine point, which is an interesting coincidence because September thirteenth is also my birthday! Horrah! Anyway, there is a lot of work to be done here and I am actually looking for some people to be involved. If you think you have what it takes, please send me your contact information through the comment box under the Contact page. Thank you for visiting!
• Cloud is the winner!
  August 25
  Unexpectedly, Cloud caught up in votes and won! I have not seen a completed version of this model yet, so perhaps I may be the first. The reason is that some people like designing papercraft models, but don't feel like building it, but will put it online for others to try. I hope I don't make a mistake on this one! I expect to finish building Cloud in 2 weeks with the video.
• My next stop motion video.
  August 22
  The votes seem to make this a battle of Link vs Samus! They both look fun to make, but I'm hoping for Samus to win because there are less number of pieces :) The poll will end this weekend, Sunday 11:59PM, PST time, because I have all of Monday free to work on building the winner.
• Tutorial Revisions
  August 19
  Added a section to the advanced tutorial. I plan to expand on that. Edited beginner tutorial section and uploaded a new video. Give youtube a few hours to see the video.
• PaperCraft Museum Launch
  August 17
  Website launched today. The promotional video (in the entertainment link) will hopefully grab some attention from the anime community. A lot of work still needs to be done, so stay tuned! It seems some of you with the old browser (FireFox1) see something wrong with the update section. I can't do much about that other than offer you the link right here!
