awesome model but why is it called v1??

Luis said...

I'm wondering why V1? Is it going to be a V2? Awesome model :D It stand on its own or the base is the only way to make it stand?

Anonymous said...

four loose screws said...

There's going to be two versions?! I'll be sure to build them both. Thank you for my favorite Pokemon. :}

yeah I hope :P

Brandon said...

Yeah, there'll be a V2 that's in a more normal pose. I got it to stand temporarily by putting a pillow behind it, but it almost needs the base, yeah. Maybe if you put wire through the streamers, which would be hidden due to the fact it's double layered, you could get it to stand that way.

When i open Pepakura off the PDO file in the download it doesn't show the model instructions, it's just blank... :/

Could you help me out?

Paul said...

The V2 will come next or we'll have to wait some more? Perfect job :D

Brandon said...

Are you sure that you're actually opening the file? Because if you're just opening the program, that's how it would appear... Also, be sure that open with: Pepakura Viewer is checked, and that you are using Viewer and not Designer.

Mr. Finchy said...

Thanks guys, this is gonna make crafting a lot easier!

When is V2 going to be released?

PMF said...

We'll post V2 whenever we got it ready, which might be in a lil while since there's not even a testbuild of it yet.

why are all legendarys winrar? i got it but its confusing

Brandon said...

Because they're awesome, and legendaries. Of course they'd be winrar :P Mostly because I did most of the legendaries, and I use rar. I think most of the posts on the site are rars, actually.

I built this model of my fav pokemon(THANKYOU!!!!<3) in about 2 days.The iceblock base took me half of the length of Gnomeo and Juliet kids movie. The actual model(the crystal on the head and the plain body without the hair) took me about 3-4 times the length of the Madagascar 2 movie.(I was watching it while I was making it.)
The hair(I don't know! I haven't finished it!(the bottom cloud))took me about the length of Rodrick Rules(Wimpy Kid movie).

BTW THANKYOU for making my favourite pokemon!
