NOTES:  The model isn't hard, it only has a lot of details to glue. Start at the mouth and build by numbers to the back legs, where you'll close. There's a time to glue each detail, it's indicated by number. It's really important to reinforce the inside of the body, where the tree connects with the body. Further instructions on the template. Be sure to print pages labelled 9 and 11 on the backs of pages 8 and 10 respectively. These are to ensure that white does not show on the under side of the leaves. The shiny front/back flowers will be double sided yellow and pink, but this isn't a problem if you trim back the parts.

POKEDEX


Kanto / Pokedex - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Pokedex
Type: HANDY505

Interesting Facts: In Pokémon Adventures, only a select group of people have Pokédexes and they are highly respected as a result. The Pokédexes come in groups of three per region, and are generally given out along with a starter Pokémon from the region's Professor. Each Pokédex has a holder registration system, meaning when it is assigned, the holder must register his or her name and fingerprints, which means each of the Pokédexes is only allowed to have one rightful owner.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 3.7 cm/ 1.5 in
Width: 18.1 cm/ 7.1 in
Depth: 14.5 cm/ 5.7 in
No. of Pages: 3
Level: Medium
Designer: Brandon

NOTES:  The parts for this model are pretty simple to build, joining them is the tricky part. Glue the details before closing the pages, this makes it easier. While gluing the hinge, you MUST follow the number references on the pieces, this ensures the rotation movement will happen just as shown in the video. You can either pick one Pokemon to use or change them, the way to make that happen is explained on the templates, the video also gives a good idea on how it's done.

MEGA LUCARIO


448-M / Mega Lucario - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: M-Lucario
Type: Fighting/Steel
Species: Aura Pokémon
Height: 1.3 m (4'03")
Weight: 57.5 kg (126.8 lbs)
Interesting Facts: As Mega Lucario, its cream fur becomes longer, and its thighs slim down. It develops more spikes on the back of its paws, of which have turned crimson. Its aura-sensing appendages grow longer, and two of them are tipped in crimson. Its shoulders also possess a spike each. Its aura heightens throughout its body, which formed black markings on its blue fur.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 30.2 cm/ 11.9 in
Width: 17.3 cm/ 6.8 in
Depth: 17.6 cm/ 6.9 in
No. of Pages: 7
Level: Hard
Designer: Brandon

NOTES:  This model has two main start points: the ears and the spike that goes inside the chest. The head is closed at the spike at the bottom and the body is closed at the bottom of the toes. There is a time to glue everything to it, in a way that the parts won't stay in the way while building, the order indicated by the numbers provides this. Also, there are a lot of lines to be folded on this one, they are indicated by red lines on the pdo, fold them smoothly. The hardest part is the neck fur, take your time there; fold the lines, follow the instructions and the numbers and it will build pretty well. Plenty more info included on the template, along with colored tabs to guide your build, but the use of the pdo is still indicated.

DIALGA


483 / Dialga - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Dialga
Type: Steel/Dragon
Species: Temporal Pokémon
Height: 5.4 m (17'09")
Weight: 683.0 kg (1505.8 lbs)
Interesting Facts: Dialga is a dark blue sauropod-like Pokémon with some gray metallic portions, such as its chestplate, which has a diamond in the center. It also has various light blue stripes. It has a fin-like structure on its back and a crest on its head, resembling a dinosaur. Dialga also has two horns on top of its head, two fang-like horns around its mouth, three spines on the back of its neck, long claws, and a short tail. The wing-like structure on its back can be used to focus the flow of time, as seen in Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky: Dialga appears in the main storyline, but mostly as Primal Dialga.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 22.3 cm/ 8.8 in
Width: 17.6 cm/ 6.9 in
Depth: 27.9 cm/ 11.0 in
No. of Pages: 9 (10th is optional 2D instead of 3D on page 1)
Level: Medium-Hard
Designer: Brandon & LuIS
Photo: LuIS
NOTES:  Start the model at the head, close at the tip of the tail. This model has a lot of details to glue on the model, like nails, eyebrows, the chest piece and the so called "fan". It's suggested to glue the details as you go, while you can still apply pressure from the inside. The eyebrows and every diamond shape piece is supposed to be built around the front and closed at the back, where there are no tabs, this is more important for the fan, since the back does not close the piece itself, but instead it's glued on the black details on the back of the fan. After these pieces are glued to the black details, glue the front part to the front of the fan. Further instructions on the template.
