Happy New Year! Today I'm happy to finally release my Sheik model from <i>Hyrule Warriors </i>on the Wii U! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As my papercraft and gaming interests change, it's getting a bit harder for me to find Nintendo related projects to work on. But the characters of <i>Hyrule Warriors</i> generally look amazing and present some very interesting opportunities for model making! </div>

This model stands <b>45cm tall</b> and consists of <b>280 pieces!</b> The main shape of the body is not too complicated believe it or not, but there are many extra details that can be time consuming. Not to mention you can spend hours building the perfect face, only to have most of it covered in the end!<br />
<br />
If you have ever built any of my other larger 40-50cm crafts then this is fairly similar. Areas of difficulty include the hands, hair braids and face.<br />

The Majora's Mask remake on the 3DS is brilliant. And with the models now available to work with, I set to making another 3DS based papercraft.</div>

<br />
Upon entering Termina, Link is transformed into a deku scrub by the Skull Kid. In this form, he can hop across water, fly with deku flowers and shoot bubbles out of his snout.<br />
<br />
This little fellow is better edited and thought out than my experimental 3DS Sheik model. For a start I have abandoned the idea that they need to be similar in size to my N64 models, so he is larger than usual, allowing more detail to be preserved. Ok larger than usual means only <b>17cm</b> but Deku Link is small compared to most other characters.<br />
<br />
Also I've decided to treat this a 'complex' craft and have built mine in the smooth method, where I've ignored most fold lines.<br />
<br />
It is a mix of small and large parts. The hair is a bit awkward but most things should not be a problem for experienced builders.<br />

This of course caught my attention for papercraft purposes so today I am releasing my first 3DS model, Sheik.<div>

As an adult in <i>Ocarina of Time</i>, Link receives help from this mysterious member of the Sheikah tribe. Sheik provides information about the state of the world under Ganondorf's rule and teaches Link the numerous warp songs to travel quickly across the land.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Although described as a young man in game, it is later revealed that Sheik is actually Princess Zelda in disguise. This alter-ego of hers has since been used in numerous spin-off titles from <i>Smash Bros.</i> to <i>Hyrule</i> <i>Warriors.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Being a 3DS model it is more complex than the N64 equivalent. So she is not to scale with my other series of models, and stands at 24.5cm tall. Even with the increased level of detail, they modeled the 3DS versions very closely to the originals, so the style is still very angular and suited to be built with the usual score and fold method.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since it is my first try at these new style of models, this one is slightly experimental. It shouldn't be too hard but there are some delicate bits to build (hair, face) and slotting the 2D strings into the harp is a bit awkward.</div>

The prospect of making a set of all four statues came up and shortly after I made the cute but sad looking <a href="http://hyrulepapercraft.blogspot.co.uk/2010/06/elegy-of-emptiness-deku.html">Elegy Deku</a>. Later in summer I did the <a href="http://hyrulepapercraft.blogspot.co.uk/2010/08/elegy-of-emptiness-zora.html">Elegy Zora</a> too (though that one was pretty hard) and had only one model remaining: the Elegy Goron. But interest faded and I never began work on it...until now.<br />
<br />
Three years later the Elegy of Emptiness set is finally completed!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
In <em>Majora's Mask</em> by playing the song, Elegy of Emptiness inside Stone
Tower, Link can 'shed a shell' of himself to create a statue of his current
form. Described as a souless image, these are used to solve a variety of puzzles
later on. Wearing the Goron mask, the statue produced is the Goron Hero Darmani, the soul from which the mask was derived.<br />
<br />
This statue makes a large boxy model at <strong>~28cm tall</strong>. The feet are small and must be built neatly and <strong>weighed down strongly</strong>, but from the waist up it becomes much easier with mostly large parts. You must cut out the shape of the scar from the large brown piece (a reference is provided). Take care with closing the head and some important shapes around the face and hands.<br />

I had this template lying around since spring 2012 but with focus on my other more complex projects I just couldn't be bothered to start it. Finally however here's Anju' Grandmother, the forgetful storyteller from<em> Majora's Mask.</em><br />

Anju's Grandmother is confined to her wheelchair and spends her days in the back room of the Stock Pot Inn in Clock Town. She enjoys telling stories from Termina's history, though they are quite long and end up putting people to sleep! At the very least this can help Link pass large amounts of time in the three day system but if he wants to stay awake he'll need the All-Night Mask. She seems to be losing her memory as she mistakes Link and Anju for Tortus, her deceased son and appears oblivious to the events in Termina. Although reading her diary reveals this senility is likely just a ruse to avoid eating Anju's terrible cooking and be left alone!<br />
<br />
As for the model, the chair and most of the body is simple and boxy. Only the small hands and odd shape of the head could be awkward. <br />
<br />
<strong>Difficulty: 5.75/10</strong><br />

Compared to what I've been building recently, this was very easy for me (I almost gave it a low difficulty score before checking what I've given models in the past!). Yet I was pretty damn rusty at building with the score and fold technique so it's not the neatest model I've ever built!Xenonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08808581184674658156noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788967716549082232.post-8683715697139779782012-02-19T12:03:00.000+00:002015-03-20T21:39:21.710+00:00Twili MidnaReleased as a project for <a href="http://nintendopapercraft.blogspot.com/">Nintendo Papercraft</a>, I thought I could also put it on my own site since it's very relevant to Hyrule Papercraft too! This model has been a long time in the making, well in the papercrafting world that means a couple of months at least! Now 6 years on since Twilight Princess, I don't think this is as big a spoiler anymore!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Midna is Link's main companion during Twilight Princess and for most of the game is seen in her imp form due to the curse placed on her by the power hungry Zant. However once Ganondorf has been defeated the curse is finally broken and she is restored to her true Twili form. You can't blame Link for being surprised when the bossy little imp that's been skulking in his shadow turns out to be the towering ruler of the Twili! And a little easier on the eyes than Zant and his cronies!<br />
<br />
This model is the result of a collaboration between me and Squeezycheesecake for Nintendo Papercraft. Throughout the years I've always dreamed of having this as a papercraft. It's been attempted in the past but to no avail. The original model files are easy to find on the internet- but everything is stuck in a T-pose, and the cloak would cause obvious headaches from day one. Thanks to some rigging by Squeezy we got it into a simple pose and set to work simplifying, editing and cleaning textures. Fast forward a bit and now it's finally complete, standing 48-49cm tall with 16 pages.<br />
<br />
There's a lot I could talk about on construction but I'll keep it short since <strong>there's a lot of info in the notes and on PDO/PDF #1</strong>. This is a complex model, so make sure you have some experience and correct materials for crafting. The instructions are pretty detailed but<strong> use of the PDO is highly recommended</strong>. Finally, we really recommend colouring the back of the cloak a cyan colour to avoid a massive white surface (likewise, the hood and skirt insides benefit from colouring black). Some ideas on how to do this are written in the notes.<br />

Don't worry I have PDO files ready for almost all of the characters listed so you can expect to see the others eventually!<br />

</div>Saria is Link's best childhood friend who enjoys playing the ocarina in the Sacred Forest Meadow. Unlike most of the Kokiri she has an air of wisdom and maturity about her and indeed she is later revealed to be the Sage of Forest once Phantom Ganon is defeated. She's also known for teaching Link one of the most catchy tunes in the entire Zelda series!<br />
<br />
Now this model has a bit of a history. In February 2010 I was working on her but ran into difficulties because of the size. When I upgraded computers I thought I lost the template, but found her again this year. With improved skills I edited the 3D model into a better form for papercrafting, resulting in the craft you see here. Thank goodness I never released the first version as the editing was pretty shoddy compared to this one. <br />
<br />
The size is still an issue, even after enlarging her slightly. Saria is actually a very small character in game (a child after all) so in my scale she is <em>tiny</em> compared to everyone else, at <strong>only 16cm.</strong> However because of the small size and difficulty, admittedly close to my own limits for size versus detail, <strong>I decided to create a bigger 22cm version that you can build instead</strong>. Though I'll respect you more if you manage the small one! ;p<br />
<br />
Regardless of size, <strong>the hands, legs and shorts are quite tricky</strong>. Also the <strong>side hair strands ought to be built in a certain way</strong> to prevent difficulty closing the model, so please check the instructions.<br />
<br />
<strong>Difficulty: 7.5/10 (16cm)</strong><br />
<strong> ~6/10? (22cm)</strong><br />

I've remade the Poe Collector, who was my very first papercraft design though required a lot of improvisation to build. This new version starts from the beginning, with much more extensive editing to make it look better and to improve construction. Arguably it is a bit more difficult due to the specific order of construction and some fiddling around with the inner robes, but it all fits together and ought to need far less manual adjustments/improvisation.</div>

The Poe Collector is a mysterious hooded figure who lives in the ruins of Hyrule Castle Town and pays good money for any Poes that Link brings him, especially for rare specimens. He's a rather strange and unwholesome character, preferring life under Ganondorf's evil reign as it creates ideal conditions for his business!</div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">

<div style="border: currentColor;">
List of improvements/changes:</div>
<ul>
<li style="border: currentColor;">Hood, cowl and eye geometry now fully shaped, no more hanging eye piece or surface contact gluing</li>
<li style="border: currentColor;">Robes shaped into right-angle for ledge sitting</li>
<li style="border: currentColor;">Bottom piece added to semi-close the model</li>
<li style="border: currentColor;"><em>Ocarina of Time</em> textures and better texturing overall</li>
<li style="border: currentColor;">Inner surfaces for arm gluing added</li>
<li style="border: currentColor;">Better unfold in general</li>
<li style="border: currentColor;">Better scaling compared to the other models though not strictly 100% accurate</li>
<li style="border: currentColor;">Optional crate to sit him on</li>
</ul>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
The template is <strong>numbered to help with build order</strong>. <strong>This is important for the hood and body</strong> but less so for the limbs which can be built at any time really. <strong>All limbs glue via surface contact</strong> in the folds of the robes or behind the tunic- apply glue to the upper faces and hold in place until secure. <strong>He will need to be weighed down</strong> in his robe trails at the back to perch safely. Measures ~19cm from top to toe depending on how the legs are glued on.</div>

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Aveil is the stern leader of the Gerudo Pirates in Great Bay, who cause mayhem along the Terminian coastline from their base nestled in the northern cliffs. Always on the lookout for new loot to plunder, she becomes obsessed with the Skull Kid's claims of treasure within the Great Bay Temple. In the events of the game, Link must rescue the stolen Zora eggs from their fortress as the hatched baby Zora are the key to accessing the temple. Though Link is more interested in saving the world than looking for non-existent treasure!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>In 2009 I was working on the Gerudo Thief model from <em>Ocarina of Time</em> in a cool combat stance. But it proved too problematic to make and I shelved the project. The game essentially uses the same model for Aveil, scaled better (the OoT one was huge compared to Link!) and in a more suitable pose. Lessons learned from the gerudo have helped to improve this model greatly!<br />
<br />
This model is medium difficulty with <strong>more detail than usual on the face</strong>, and some <strong>small or narrow parts on the legs and body</strong>. The head, hands and feet all glue on to the body by surface contact with marked tabs. This allows some manual adjustments to the pose in case she doesn't stand straight or her hands aren't initially in the right position. Stands around <strong>22.6cm</strong> depending how how the hair is glued on.<br />
<br />
<strong>Difficulty: 6.5/10</strong><br />

But I can't neglect this site, so here's a model of Anju!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUUZAUfr5xAusFOYMA24PTEMFfhf72gLWIB0PvOk3RDPd8pwkw-87T69xLc8rAQJI2c-7qT5IY1e6493Y_7Px_idbNiwYcCl_m1JMdUZ-QsBQSgiQCpWIplYGlSt_jISJjo5tvPgZF4V54/s1600/Anju.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUUZAUfr5xAusFOYMA24PTEMFfhf72gLWIB0PvOk3RDPd8pwkw-87T69xLc8rAQJI2c-7qT5IY1e6493Y_7Px_idbNiwYcCl_m1JMdUZ-QsBQSgiQCpWIplYGlSt_jISJjo5tvPgZF4V54/s400/Anju.jpg" t$="true" width="186px" /></a></div>Anju makes a minor appearance in <em>Ocarina of Time</em> as the "Cucco Lady" in Kakariko village, but receives much more character development in <em>Majora's Mask</em> where she works in Clock Town's Stock Pot Inn. She has a poor memory for reservations, allowing Link to obtain a room key in a case of mistaken identity. Her main role in the game is as part of the long and detailed Kafei-Anju sidequest in which Link must work over all three days to reunite the couple before the moon crashes.<br />
<br />
There have been a few versions of Anju released already I believe, all seeming to have her holding an umbrella! Well mine is much more plain haha with, just her in her standing pose at the Stock Pot Inn's desk.<br />
<br />
The model is average difficulty, <strong>with some small parts on the hands</strong> but fairly straightforwards construction elsewhere. The head and hair should be built and closed in a certain order though, so take a look at the instructions. Of course the PDO file with Pepakura Designer/Viewer is a handy resource too! Scaled to everyone else as usual, standing quite tall at about <strong>22.1cm</strong>.<br />

The first step would be to create a set of items all scaled to Link and my other models. Although, it took a lot longer than I thought! (Mostly because working on things like items is such a chore compared to character models). For now the items are limited to those seen on the "Equipment" screen in the menu.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicVgxS0WYnC4wdfeeptBoubNGtFabe_YBLA0w2WlAo9R2_q0Pfsno1itQzKJNbCiPvknc55PGKjOSxGmQm_FnhhlI1UTbjOZmgwCTcbmQ8Af2qfxlKNQ_bdSB6JSRWBWqg6VaKxg_TxLQV/s1600/Promo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300px" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicVgxS0WYnC4wdfeeptBoubNGtFabe_YBLA0w2WlAo9R2_q0Pfsno1itQzKJNbCiPvknc55PGKjOSxGmQm_FnhhlI1UTbjOZmgwCTcbmQ8Af2qfxlKNQ_bdSB6JSRWBWqg6VaKxg_TxLQV/s400/Promo.jpg" width="400px" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong>So this pack, which may be updated in future contains:</strong></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><em>Biggoron's Sword</em></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><em>Broken Giant's Knife</em></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><em>Hover Boots</em><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong>Can these be built without having to build a Link model too?</strong></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Of course! Mostly. All the items except for the gauntlets and boots work well on their own if you choose to build them. The boots only represent the metal parts, not the feet, and the gauntlets are just simple bits that ought to be glued to Link's arms.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong>Will you build other versions of Link in future?</strong></div>Yes, I plan to re-use my Red Link to make different Links with alternate poses and tunics. Different weapons will be compatible with these. Currently only the Master Sword doesn't really work with Red Link, and the shields only benefit when just put on his back. With different posed Links, hopefully the equipment will be more interchangeable.<br />
<br />
<strong>Why does the Giant's Knife look identical to Biggoron's Sword?</strong><br />
The actual models wielded in combat seem to be the same. The Giant's Knife was really just included for a laugh, and for completions sake.<br />
<br />
<strong>Difficulty:</strong> Variable but mostly easy. Swords are harder due to their small size and detail.<br />

Red or Endgame Link as I call this incorporates several late game or obscure items not normally depicted. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4nguEFPfSk4OPYRvPBm7nyaCD-T2yHLRQWipycOCKUFu9xXkbLc6OEO9CLlJDj5qegGfXRo-TM5buG7BT1sZUQH0GJWLCbsYgR4z-psCEc3Q6cn3hkbgll-8868n7rLVytZRehu6uwIUb/s1600/Red+Link.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4nguEFPfSk4OPYRvPBm7nyaCD-T2yHLRQWipycOCKUFu9xXkbLc6OEO9CLlJDj5qegGfXRo-TM5buG7BT1sZUQH0GJWLCbsYgR4z-psCEc3Q6cn3hkbgll-8868n7rLVytZRehu6uwIUb/s400/Red+Link.jpg" width="280px" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>So he carries the huge Biggoron's Sword, Silver Gauntlets, Hover Boots, Goron Tunic and Mirror Shield. With these items he will be able to smash through the toughest foes, endure blistering heat, lift boulders and walk in thin air temporarily. Actually as stylish as this configuration is, it's not very practical since he can't defend himself and will be sliding all over the place with those tractionless boots! In fact it's not what you might want to use at the end of the game after all. But y'know let's ignore all that for now!<br />
<br />
The model is <strong>medium-hard</strong>. The legs, arms and most of the items aren't very hard, but there are some small parts and tricky folds and joins around the face, ears and hood<strong>.</strong> I recommend scoring the lines so it will all fit neatly together.<br />
<br />
<strong>Note that most of the equipment doesn't have to be attached permanently.</strong> You can just rest his feet into the snug Hover Boots, and attach the shield to the sheath using blu-tack/putty or a pin. I'm saying this because <strong>it's likely I'll be putting together a pack of scaled interchangeable equipment,</strong> and possibly some alternate versions of Link in the future.<br />
<br />
Stands <strong>~21.6cm tall,</strong> not including the sword.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2r0b8pEkzw4Bhulx_Hgjwm_jIBRTuAVGhg3W3OgFKiXakX6Ilps884Rd-i6kPu5y9OYPC_fgGQtCSApSF2JrrQB7bS2oE6FivDTkML_-9BZ-BCTZpwJsKy8Y8jGVhe8zKbEmNp4f8Ki_k/s1600/Promo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2r0b8pEkzw4Bhulx_Hgjwm_jIBRTuAVGhg3W3OgFKiXakX6Ilps884Rd-i6kPu5y9OYPC_fgGQtCSApSF2JrrQB7bS2oE6FivDTkML_-9BZ-BCTZpwJsKy8Y8jGVhe8zKbEmNp4f8Ki_k/s400/Promo.jpg" width="296" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Rauru is the Sage of Light and the first person Link meets after being revealed as the Hero of Time. He explains the events of the last seven years and the effects of Ganondorf's evil reign. Things look bad at first but he starts Link off on his quest to awaken and unite the five other Sages to gain their power to save Hyrule!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>This model is easy to medium. <strong>The body and arms are large and blocky</strong> and should be simple so long as you <strong>assemble them in a suitable order.</strong> He has no visible legs or hands, which gets rid of a few tricky parts! <strong>The head has more detail,</strong> and although the parts are moderately big, there's some <strong>important folds around the face, moustache and chin which must be done cleanly.</strong> Eventually the head glues via <strong>surface contact</strong> into the inner hood, and the arms attach in the same way underneath the shoulder arches.<br />
<br />
Scaled to my other characters as usual and stands <strong>~25cm tall.</strong> After some infuriating balance problems with my recent non-Zelda crafts it's a great relief to build something that is completely stable!<br />
<br />
<strong>Difficulty: 5/10</strong><br />

Its highly polished surface and magical properties allow Link to reflect, or absorb and re-emit the fire and ice beam attacks of Twinrova. Unsurprisingly it reflects sunlight quite well too, which is handy for some puzzles in the temple! Apart from these special abilities, it functions exactly the same as the Hylian Shield, so whether you equip it after the Spirit Temple is simply a matter of preference! I for one think it looks quite striking with the red Goron Tunic. ;)</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">As for the papercraft it's about <strong>~10.4cm from top to</strong> <strong>bottom,</strong> <strong>very easy</strong> and should give no real problems. <strong>The Handles are optional</strong>- leave them out if you want a plain back to the shield.

Originally she was set for a summer release and I built everything except the hands and sword. However I gradually realised the editing was incomplete; she was far too detailed for her scale, resulting in an ugly build. After some simplification, shortening of the hair, reworking of the face, and a rebuild over December-January she's ready for release.<br />

While her brother Geoffrey commands the Royal Knights, she is head of the country's spy and intelligence network. In the events of <em>Radiant Dawn</em>, she is responsible for unearthing the leader of the Crimean rebels. Later she joins Ike and the Laguz to fight against the corrupt Begnion senators.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">(Not as useful of a character as my good man Haar, but I really like her design!)</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

The template is complex but slightly easier than my previous FE models because of a lack of armour layers. Still, <strong>parts like the hands, collar and attaching the chest skin could cause difficulty. 18 pages split across 2 PDO files: </strong>please use these for references- they're<em> extremely</em> useful (You'd be silly not to if you can run Pepakura Viewer).

I haven't worked on anything Zelda related for a while because I had a bigger non-Zelda project that you can have a look at <a href="http://xenonray.deviantart.com/#/d31ydrz">here.</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7AVIXFxwQYO4w7ZqMS3iRULXBsRE-M3RKZktvZueUkb3UCnkm5cOuhreocIsuvBAxKvZys2-FR2bB-nsFCgwtVzptrjURmtf-qhEwGBfX7Uy8KSQbbs98OSy6zBYVdNl-Oi-hjqqtnn4M/s1600/Promo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7AVIXFxwQYO4w7ZqMS3iRULXBsRE-M3RKZktvZueUkb3UCnkm5cOuhreocIsuvBAxKvZys2-FR2bB-nsFCgwtVzptrjURmtf-qhEwGBfX7Uy8KSQbbs98OSy6zBYVdNl-Oi-hjqqtnn4M/s1600/Promo.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>The elderly Lake Scientist was first seen in <em>Ocarina of Time</em>, working in his laboratory perched on the edges of Lake Hylia. He is a researcher, using the lake's water with other chemical compounds to create potent medicines, such as eyedrops for Biggoron. In <em>Majora's Mask</em>, his alter-ego has set up a lab in Great Bay, and studies the marine organisms and climate. He also owns a carefully controlled water tank perfect for hatching Zora eggs!<br />
<br />
In the Manga, he appears in one of the short stories and is referred to as Dr. Mizumi, though technically this is not considered to be canon, so I prefer to call him the Lake Scientist instead (as the Manga is less well known).<br />
<br />
For the model itself, <strong>the body is quite easy</strong> because he doesn't have any legs and just a flat base to his robes. <strong>The head is more detailed though, especially around the mouth and</strong> <strong>eyes,</strong> so make sure you <strong>score the lines</strong> to get a neat shape. At many points in the construction you can use<strong> holes in the model</strong> to <strong>secure tabs from the inside</strong>, but finally closing the whole thing might be a bit tricky depending on what order you make it in.<br />
<br />
Scaled to my other characters as usual, and stands about <strong>17.7cm tall</strong>. Sounds small but remember he is very hunched over and actually has a large head.<br />
<br />
<strong>Difficulty: 6.25/10</strong><br />

Now the timing of this is awkward because <a href="http://members.home.nl/saarloos/index.htm">Ninjatoes</a> has released <a href="http://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/2010/09/25/the-legend-of-zelda-clocktown-postman/">his own version</a>, though in a different pose and with props for a diorama. Different versions of the same characters are always welcome, though I recommend you check his version out, as his models are consistently high quality. With some hindsight I can say his <strong>template</strong> and<strong> instructions</strong> are better than my Postman, although mine has a <strong>PDO file</strong>, and a 'true' <strong>lineless template.</strong><br />
<br />

</div>The Postman is a dilligent worker in Clock Town, obsessively sticking to his schedule, even though it soon conflicts with his urge to flee as the moon threatens to annihilate Termina. Eventually Link can earn the Postman's Hat off him, which allows him to check the mail boxes around the town. His strange attitude and voice sound effects ("Ya!") always made him one of my favourites, plus he's a very good example of how the time system of <em>Majora's Mask</em> really adds depth to the game. Like many characters he had an alter ego in <em>Ocarina of Time</em>, the unbeatable Running Man who you could 'race' as adult Link.<br />
<br />
I'd like my next model to be free of problems in testbuilding. This one set me back a few times, but I feel I've fixed the major issues I encountered the first time(s) around. For whatever reason I've built his head three times and his body twice now! (Also his pose, though not complex is tricky to get a decent photo that shows him best.)<br />
<br />
Parts of the head and body are<strong> quite detailed</strong>, but in my scale, he's actually <strong>quite tall, with a large head and hands </strong>which makes things not as bad as they had potential to be. <strong>Still experience is probably needed</strong>, and I always stress that <a href="http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/">Pepakura Viewer</a> helps a lot too!<br />
<br />
Stands ~24.0cm which is tall for my standards!<br />

(For lack of a better name)<br />
<br />
In <em>Majora's Mask</em> by playing the song, Elegy of Emptiness inside Stone Tower, Link can 'shed a shell' of himself to create a statue of his current form. Described as a souless image, these are used to solve a variety of puzzles later on. Wearing the Zora mask the statue produced is a ghastly white eyed Mikau, the soul from which the mask was derived.<br />
<br />
The Zora statue I think is the most creepy (tough competition if you look at the Link one) due to his blank eyes and shouting expression. In the age of N64 graphics and blurry CRT televisions, it was difficult to discern all the detail, and for some reason when I was younger I thought that the neck tattoos were actually a stitched up wound on his throat. :S (though neither sound pleasant!)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn161/xenonray/IMG_2330.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn161/xenonray/IMG_2330.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 559px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 300px;" /></a><br />
<strong>This is a harder model </strong>than some of my others because of the way <strong>the limbs tend to merge into the body.</strong> The legs for example are merged down to the knees and again at the feet. So some <strong>experience and use of the PDO is recommended.</strong><br />
<br />
He stands quite stable at ~22.0cm (not including ~7mm stand) and has quite a lot of detail, especially if you build the fish guitar.<br />
<br />

In <em>Majora's Mask</em> by playing the song, Elegy of Emptiness inside Stone Tower, Link can 'shed a shell' of himself to create a statue of his current form. Described as a souless image, these are used to solve a variety of puzzles later on. The image created depends on what form Link is in at the time. Wearing the Deku mask the statue produced is a small sad looking Scrub. <br />
<br />
Since the Zora and Goron statues appear as Mikau and Darmani (the souls which reside in those masks), it is believed that the Deku mask was derived from the Deku Butler's missing son. This is hinted at during serveral scenes in the game.<br />
<br />
Oddly enough, the Deku statue is too light to press floor switches down, so has no real use in the game.<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>~15.4cm tall without the stand</strong>, which adds another ~7mm, though the height will strongly be influenced by how straight the leaves are. <strong>It's very top heavy</strong> so weighing it down inside the little legs is required else he'll tip over backwards. Fairly large pieces, so nothing too complicated. <strong>You must cut the eyes and leaf shapes out yourself.</strong><br />

Haar is a veteran Wyvern rider who has served many nations in Tellius. In the events of <em>Radiant Dawn</em> he joins up with Queen Elincia to halt the Crimean rebels, and later follows Ike in the fight against Begnion, possibly with his own desires to bring down his corrupt former commanders and senators. His trademarks are an eyepatch, perpetual tiredness and a no-nonsense attitude. <br />
<br />
As a Dragonmaster he combines high hit points, strength and defence with impressive maneuverability for such a heavy unit. Equipped with axes he can smash through most enemies and withstand heavy combat with ease. His low resistance makes him vulnerable to magic, especially Thunder Mages which do double damage to Wyvern units.<br />
<br />
(One of my favourite and most useful characters too!)<br />
<br />
<strong>This is a hard model</strong>, no doubts about it, <strong>experience in papercrafting is a must</strong>. It is quite tall but has <strong>21 pages and many small parts.</strong> Elements of the face and hands are particularly tricky. <strong>Use of the PDO is a must</strong> to see where parts go. Please look at the Read Me, template info and instructions, though <strong>don't be restricted by my order of building,</strong> as everyone's method varies.<br />

Now I've not actually given up, just in the last months I've had a bunch of models which just never made it to the building stage.<br />
<br />
Elegy of Emptiness Link is here (though you may wish he wasn't)! In <em>Majora's Mask</em> by playing the song, Elegy of Emptiness inside Stone Tower, Link can 'shed a shell' of himself to create a statue of his current form. Described as a souless image, these are used to solve a variety of puzzles later on. The image created depends on what form Link is in at the time. As a Hylian (not wearing a transformation mask) the statue produced is a surreal, rather warped parody of Link. I always found the statues quite disturbing and an obscure piece of the darker world of Termina. (No wonder they used him for that fake haunted game story recently! Granted, I made this before his bizarre popularity spike)<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>15.7cm tall without the stand</strong>, which adds another ~7mm. <strong>The large head makes it top heavy </strong>so weighing it down inside, or even glueing to the stand is necessary. Other than <strong>closing the hood</strong> and some <strong>important valley folds</strong>, it's a simple model.<br />
