BEAUTY & THE BEAST



??? / BEAUTY AND THE BEAST - Disney Papercraft
Name: Belle and Adam
Type: FairyTale Romancers
Species: Human/Beast
Height: Varied
Weight: Average
Interesting Facts: In Disney's variant of the tale, the Beast originally appeared to be constantly angry, depressed, and spoiled. As opposed to his original counterpart, the creators gave him a more primal nature to his personality, which truly exploited his character as an untamed animal.
Belle is a very attractive 17-year old young woman. Although she is known throughout her village for her beauty, she is quite ignorant of her own appearance, but ironically greatly aware that her fellow citizens think of her as "odd" and "peculiar".

THE PAPER MODELS (Both)
Height: 40.0 cm/ 15.7 in
Width: 37.1 cm/ 14.6 in
Depth: 30.6 cm/ 12.0 in
No. of Pages: 10 (Belle), 15 (Beast)
Level: Hard
Designer: Brandon
Photo: Brandon
NOTES: These are both fairly tough models, and the templates are not numbered. An edge ID pdf is included to help those who can't use the pdo, but using the pdo is strongly advised. Considerable experience is advised as well.

For Belle, build from the hair down, attaching the arms as you go. Once you get past the waist, everything gets exponentially easier. Just be careful and take your time with everything above it. Close at the bottom of the skirt and attach the legs with a bit of glue and pressure.

For Adam, take a similar approach- start from the horns down, taking special care with the face and collar. Close at the end of the pant leg, and attach the legs with glue/pressure. Be sure to re-enforce the tail quite a bit, as it's the biggest weak point. It is also advised to put weight in the tail to help him stand, yet another reason to re-enforce the connection to the body/tail.

TIMON



??? / TIMON- Disney Papercraft
Name: Timon
Type: Obnoxious
Species: Meerkat
Height: Short
Weight: Lithe
Interesting Facts: Timon Berkowitz can be rather selfish and thoughtless at times, but in the end, he has a good heart and is loyal to his friends. Unlike most meerkats, who work constantly, Timon is a lazy daydreamer which results in him being cast out of his colony. His status at the bottom of the food chain means he relies on stronger animals to protect him once he's on his own, and as such he usually looks out for himself, but nonetheless he never abandons his friends in times of trouble and is willing to risk himself for them.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 20.0 cm/ 7.9 in
Width: 12.4 cm/ 4.9 in
Depth: 14.1 cm/ 5.6 in
No. of Pages: 4
Level: Medium-Hard
Designer: Brandon
Photo: Brandon
NOTES: Start at the head, working down and attaching arms/legs/tail as you go. The unnumbered parts just glue on the outside, so attach those whenever you see fit. Numbers on template.

Its large head has two large, beady eyes extending from the side, and in the middle of the head is a round black pattern with two red spots. Two large, segmented claws protrude from below its head, serving as either defense against predators or a weapon against prey. These claws seem to have become the Fossil that Anorith can be resurrected from. Anorith’s carapace is gray, and its tail is small with two gray spikes. Its mouth is on the underside of its body, and resembles a screw in shape.

NOTES: The minee-veelutions have turned into a mini-series! Enjoy glaceon, whose biggest complaint is in the small, dainty paws.
Build as you would with umbreon and glaceon; build the legs first, attaching them as you build the body (starting at the head). Begin with ears, build around that from the face on down, and close at the hind end. add whiskers and tail, and done! (She may have some small standing issues. I adjusted it slightly since building, so hopefully that fixes it.)
