METANG


375 / METANG - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Metang
Type: Steel / Psychic
Species: Iron Claw Pokémon
Height: 1.2 m (3′11″)
Weight: 202.5 kg (446.4 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Metang's body is magnetised, and it uses magnetism to move, communicate, and control its attacks. It is said to be related to Magneton, but Metang's magnetism focuses on Psychic-type moves instead of Electric-type moves. It evolves from Beldum starting at level 20, and evolves into Metagross starting at level 45.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 10.0 cm/ 3.9 in
Width: 21.3 cm/ 8.4 in
Depth: 20.7 cm/ 8.1 in
Pages: 4
Pieces: 31
Level: Easy-Medium
Designer: Brandon
Photo: Brandon
NOTES: Build the main body first, attaching spikes when possible. Do not close the main body just yet. Continue on to the arms, gluing the base of the arm to the body, the shaft to the Beldum-like parts, and then the shaft to the body (in the base of the arm, that should already be on the body). Once all the pieces are attached, then close the main piece by the flat bottom.

I saw on the PDO a number on the top of the head piece (31).
Does this appear when I print this papercraft?

Yeah, that shouldn't be there, that's my mistake. Files fixed, number moved.
Thank you for letting me know.

How did you get the arms to bend like that? When I made this, the arms were straight and angled down (as in the whole arm) :(

When you position the rectangular part of the arm to the body, you can move it around a bit before gluing- there's not really a fixed position. Certain angles need more glue, but it usually sticks if you're careful.
