New comer who is also a PERI member, Ilud aka Pepakuraviewer from Paper Jurnal shared with us his work on Tail Concerto robot template. He said he played Tail Concerto game in Sony Playstation console few years ago. He started making this template about a year ago by using Google Sketchup for 3d modeling and Pepakura 3D Designer. Pepakuraviewer is known to be a neat builder who likes to shrunk paper craft template, in example now he is in progress building the detailed Optimus Prime in A6, he also have build Going Merry ship in A5, he likes to remove the flaps if one part become too small. His "habit" reflects in this Tail Concerto robot template, they are no flaps or glue tabs in all the parts, so you have to add the flaps yourself if you need to. He provides a PDO for instructions but I think it will help a little, you have to compare it with the built photos to figure the parts out. The assembled model is looking good.

Just a couple days ago a fellow paper crafter request a classic Voltron paper model, just in time Dani from ZRP Papercrafter has released the part 1 Voltron template (head and torso in 6 pages). Voltron is an animation similar to the classic Japan giant robot anime from the 80's. Although many remember their childhood with this robot , I recall I never heard of it in my childhood, I only know Voltes V, God Zigma and Mazinga Z anime. Perhaps Voltron was popularize in the same time as Go Shogun showed up in my video cassette rental and that was the time I stop watching any video as our Sony Betamax video broke and never been repaired ever since, and remember I have mentioned about my family beloved Sony Betamax in other post, so why I mention it up again?, I guess I just want to write a bit  longer haha XD.

The paper model  template was designed by Wong Hidayat and test built by Anjar. I first noticed Wong posted his work on Mr. Bean car in PERI Facebook group. Mr. Bean's car is a British Leyland Mini 1000. Wong never release the car until now when he added Mr. Bean figure on top of the car depicting one of Mr. Bean's episode "Do it yourself Mr. Bean". The episode shows Mr. Bean is buying a lot of stuff for the house including wall paint cans, an armchair, broom and many others that are put inside Mr. Bean's car. The car is fully filled with stuff but he got a brilliant idea to take all the stuff in the car back to home. It looks like this episode is happen before Christmas, because I remember after Christmas and new years party when he blows up the paint can to color his room white.

New releases from hobikitkertas, model buildings from sub-urban theme and medieval fantasy theme. These are actually the collaboration project for a paper craft book of Cerebrave and Kentutmania (Rauf Raphanus). The book was cancelled so they share the template with us.  The scale for all the models are the same so you can mix them. The Sub-urban theme (hobikitkertas named it with Urban neighborhood) is a complete set with roads, trees, cars and house fences. The Medieval town theme is comprise with fortification wall, various building types, towers and castle, Cerebrave named this set as Fantasy : Human Castle. It makes me wonder, perhaps he will make an alien or an orc town as well. Each theme has several buildings set and accessories to form a small town. There will be more theme coming out as hobikitkertas stated to me, so keep an eye on that site.
