hisashiburi!

I’m doing this early Christmas greeting cuz I’ll be traveling to my hometown on the 21^st. I don’t have internet access there so I won’t be around until the 26^th or the 30^th at the latest. I guess I’ll just build some pepakura to kill some time ^^. So now let me thank from the bottom of my heart all the good people who have graced this blog with their wonderful comments (Coeli, AS, super rats, Setsuna-san, Lanie-emon, Tokidoki and BigN) and all others who spared some time to visit here. You guys are the best, Arigatou gosaimas!

Let me wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too! I’m now giving you the Christmas star above from the cast of Lucky Star courtesy of Ash-Hikari.

Yours truly,

Shinji ^_^

This is my first attempt on pepakura/papercraft so please don’t hate me if it looks horrible. Why black & white? Well I ran out of colored ink but the eager-beaver in me forced me to print the pattern on a laser printer at my office. Besides I need some practice before wasting any precious colored ink. After lots of cutting, folding and gluing I present to you my first Miku Hatsuna pepakura.

Based on the info I googled, Miku is the character behind a singing software which simulates/synthesizes voices. I just don’t know how that actually works.

Going back to the figure, I downloaded the pdo file from Michael James’ site (really cool site) and ran it on the pepakura viewer to get the spread out pattern. This build is just small with only 3 pages of parts which turn into a 4-inch figure.
