Anpanman & Friends - Papercraft

One group pic before moving onto the next project:

Creampanda - Papercraft

Because Creampanda is relatively small compare to the rest of the characters, it is extra difficult to put together the details, especially the creases on his tiny head and feet.  Not entirely happy with the result, but glad it's done.

Dokin-chan - Papercraft

This would be the last papercraft before my vacation.
I will return with more updates.

Currypanman - Papercraft

Face is a little bit flat, might consider adding a more popping looking nose for him.

Project - Anpanman

My near to complete project - Anpanman, is one of the most well known picture book & cartoon character in Japan since 1973, written by Takashi Yanase. The series has over 1,500 characters that are mostly food related.  Even though it is not as well known as Hello Kitty within North America, Anpanman is extremely popular in Japan.

Uncle Jam - Papercraft

A plate of baked goods definitely made Uncle Jam more interesting.

Anpanman - Papercraft

Having myself fascinated by Anpanman (a Japanese anime cartoon began in 1973), I did some searching and found a nice little papercraft template at June's Blog.

Though the template came with Anpanman alone without any instructions, I managed to modified and created 3 other characters - (from left to right) Melonpanna, Baikinman, Shokupanman:

I'm on my way to complete a few more characters. Currypanman and Creampanda is going to be a challenge:

Uncle Jam	Currypanman
Dokin-chan	Creampanda
