SIGILYPH


561 / SIGILYPH - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Sigilyph 
Type: Psychic/Flying
Species: Avianoid Pokémon
Height: 1.4 m (4′07″)
Weight: 14.0 kg (30.9 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Sigilyph will use its psychic powers to attack anyone who invades its territory. Due to it retaining memories from when it guarded an ancient city or served as the guardians' emissaries, it apparently flies along the same route constantly.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 24.2 cm / 9.5 in
Width: 7.3 cm / 2.9 in
Depth: 23.2 cm / 9.1 in
Pages: 3
Pieces: 50
Level: Medium
Designer: Brandon
Photo: Feel free to submit your own at our email and we'll display the best/most creative!
NOTES: Pretty easy one overall- build from the antennae down, attaching spikes and antennae as you go. The bottom antennae are its own, self enclosed piece to make it easier to close at the bottom of the body with the inverted triangle, and then insert the antennae's triangle into the bottom. It will almost certainly need a base or hung up in some way.

SWADLOON


541 / SWADLOON - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Swadloon
Type: Bug/Grass  
Species: Leaf-Wrapped Pokémon
Height: 0.5 m (1′08″)
Weight: 7.3 kg (16.1 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Under its cloak are darker green, limp leaves which frame the sides of Swadloon's face and trail down on the sides of its body. The top of the cloak has two semicircular leaves that form a V shape. On its back are the veins of the leaf as well as a bit at the bottom tip of the cloak resembling a rounded tail. Swadloon lives on the forest floor and converts fallen leaves into nourishment, which helps the surrounding plant life grow.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 14.8 cm / 5.8 in
Width: 13.1 cm / 5.2 in
Depth: 21.4 cm / 8.4 in
Pages: 8 (5 normal pages, 3 to be printed on back)
Pieces: 34
Level: Easy
Designer: Brandon
Photo: Photos below provided by Ilana M (above) and Kara (below) via email!
Feel free to submit your own at our email and we'll display the best/most creative!
NOTES: Pretty easy one overall, the only real tricky part is doing the "double sided" pieces when printing. Be sure to print pages 5, 7, and 9 on the back of the previous pages (4, 6, 8). You can also skip printing these pages entirely, if you'd rather. From there, it builds pretty normally. Build the "body" first, going off the numbers. Add the scarf on top of the body once built. Then finish it off by topping it with the outer green "shell", and glue on the two leaves to the top of it.

MOLTRES


146 / MOLTRES - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Moltres
Type: Fire/Flying
Species:  Flame Pokémon
Height: 2.0 m (6'07″)
Weight: 60.0 kg (132.3 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Moltres sheds embers with every flap of its wings, creating a brilliant flash of flames. By dipping itself into the magma of an active volcano, this Pokémon can heal itself. It migrates to the south with the coming of spring and is said to bring an early springtime to cold lands. There have been stories of Moltres using its wings to assist those lost in the mountains. Moltres is rarely seen. In the past, Sky Attack was its signature move.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 14.9 cm/ 5.5 in
Width: 38.1 cm/ 6.3 in
Depth: 23.5 cm/ 5.1 in
Pages: 6
Pieces: 77
Level: Hard
Designer: Brandon
Photo: CrafterWong (CrafterWong's Site can be found here!)
NOTES: Build the model from the head and head flame downwards. When you get to the wings, build them and attach them to the body before moving on. When building the wings, build the entire yellow part first, folding the "feathery" edges to give it a slight sharpness and help support the fire/body. Then build the red part of the flame by gluing the white side of the paper together and trimming the excess white part off the model to your desire. If you're feeling fancy, you could even sort of feather the flame piece to give it a bit of definition too. Lastly, glue the red flames inside the yellow wing 'sleeve' and freehand glue them together. Work your way down until you get to the legs. Do NOT close the model with piece 69 until the model can stand by itself. Next, build the legs and tail flame (you can just simply attach this to the body whenever). When building the legs be very careful while building it. They are somewhat small and a toothpick or tweezers will help to make them. To get the model to stand by itself, wrap the wings around the body so that it prevents it from falling on itself. 

Also fun side note - noticed when making textures for this that Moltres occasionally has a red beak and legs instead of the pale apricot color. Textures are included for both.

GLOOM


044 / GLOOM - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Gloom
Type: Grass/Poison
Species:  Weed Pokémon
Height: 0.8 m (2'07″)
Weight: 8.6 kg (19.0 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Gloom trickles sticky nectar from its mouth with the appearance and consistency of drool. This can be used as a fertilizer for plants. Both this nectar and the flower on Gloom's head release a foul odor strong enough to induce fainting in humans over a mile (1.6 kilometers) away. However, it can also attract prey, and even a very small number of humans find it pleasing. This odor is a key ingredient for some perfume production. When it is in danger, the odor worsens, but it will not emit its odor if it feels safe.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 14.0 cm/ 5.5 in
Width: 16.1 cm/ 6.3 in
Depth: 13.0 cm/ 5.1 in
Pages: 6
Pieces: 46
Level: Easy
Designer: Brandon
Photo: CrafterWong (CrafterWong's Site can be found here!)
NOTES: Build the model from the head down and attach the arms when you get to them. Before closing the model, attach the lips, drool, orange leaves and bulbs to the body. Regarding the bulb, glue each individual bulb to each other before gluing them on top of the orange leaves. After closing the model, build the two legs. Place some counterweight, I cut up an eraser cap in each leg, in the foot. Glue one leg on to the model and then play with the gluing placement of the second model to allow the model to stand by itself. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!
Gloom's pictures are cleaned up to be drool free, but don't worry, the drool is all there in the files! 
Textures (and PDFs) included for both Male and Female bulbs too. Textures can be used to modify PDOs as well.

BOLDORE


525 / BOLDORE - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Boldore 
Type: Rock
Species: Ore Pokémon
Height: 0.9 m (2′11″)
Weight: 102.0 kg (224.9 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Boldore's crystals shine brightly when it begins overflowing with power or when it is preparing to fire bursts of energy. Because its crystals are valuable, with a fragment being capable of powering a hundred dump trucks, Boldore is targeted for it. It searches for underground water in the caves where it lives; however, because it is uncomfortable around water, it is always very careful about lapping it up.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 12.0 cm / 4.7 in
Width: 17.6 cm / 6.9 in
Depth: 15.8 cm / 6.2 in
Pages: 5
Pieces: 33
Level: Easy-Medium
Designer: Brandon
Photo: Photo below received via email from Jonny D
Feel free to submit your own at our email and we'll display the best/most creative!
NOTES: Pretty easy one overall- build from the face down, attaching the crystals as you go. Attach the teeth, and all three legs to the body before closing with pieces 31/32. The legs each have a joint the glues to the outside of the body and the legs to hold them in place - these get glued before the closing so that you can apply pressure to hold them into place as they dry. Piece 33 is a stand alone "rock" simply to prop up the right leg, as Boldore is in a climbing stance.

BRAVIARY




628 / BRAVIARY - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Braviary
Type: Normal/Flying 
Species:  Valiant Pokémon
Height: 1.5 m (4'11″)
Weight: 41.0 kg (90.4 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Braviary is extremely aggressive, but for noble reasons. It will fight fiercely to help and protect its friends. Even if it is injured or has its life threatened, it will still fight. The more scars it has on its front, the more respect it gets from its peers. Scars on its back will bring it ridicule however. It has earned the nickname "hero of the skies" due to its extreme dedication for its friends. Aiding its valiance, Braviary is extremely strong, capable of lifting a car and flying with it.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 21.5 cm/ 8.5 in
Width: 23.7 cm/ 9.3 in
Depth: 23.1 cm/ 9.1 in
Pages: 10 (+4 for Nest base)
Pieces: 89 (+6 for base) 
Level: Medium
Designer: Brandon
Photo: CrafterWong (CrafterWong's Site, and Chibi Braviary, can be found here!)
NOTES: Start building the model with the hair and neck feathers, then work from the beak and work backward to the neck. Make sure to FOLD all the lines for this section when building the hair, similar to Rufflet. When building the top white and red feathers on the face, you will need to glue the non-colored sides to each other to connect the neck feathers to the face feathers. For the side of the face feathers you will need to glue them over onto each other (pieces 18-23 will fold in half and glue to each other), and then glue them to the side of the face accordingly. Work downwards and build and attach the wings when you get there. When you get to piece 55, 84, and 85, make sure to also fold these pieces to get cleaner looking legs. Build the legs and attach them before connecting the rest of the body. Close the model with piece 85 on the right or left leg respectively, then glue the tail feathers between the legs and pieces 78-82. In order to get the model to stand, you can either build the stand and place a counterweight on the stand like another model or you can create a tripod with the two legs and piece 80.

The base (not pictured) is a little different and unique for this model - it's designed to cater to Braviary's specific pose, and the 'empty' nest doesn't have to be all too empty if you build Rufflet with it! Rufflet is to scale with Braviary, and stands right inside the nest. In order for the base to fully hold up Braviary, it's suggested to weight piece 91 before fully closing it, as this will help prevent Braviary from sliding away.

RUFFLET


627 / RUFFLET- Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Rufflet
Type: Normal/Flying 
Species:  Eaglet Pokémon
Height: 0.5 m (1'08″)
Weight: 10.5 kg (23.1 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: The thick, black talons on Rufflet's feet are strong enough to break even the hardest of berries, and crack Shellder to consume their insides. It is extremely aggressive from birth and knowingly provokes opponents larger and more powerful than itself, including its own parent to gain acceptance. It sees this as a means of quickly getting stronger.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 12.0 cm/ 4.7 in
Width: 10.1 cm/ 4.0 in
Depth: 12.7 cm/ 5.0 in
Pages: 5 
Pieces: 67
Level: Medium
Designer: Brandon
Photo: CrafterWong (CrafterWong's Site, and Chibi Rufflet, can be found here!)
NOTES: First build the head. After that, build the feathers around the head. These feathers are 2d and you MUST fold all the lines in order to get the feathers to look good. When building the feathers, build them in the order from the face to the back of the head. You will need to free hand glue them to the head and do not worry if you do not use all of them. Just make sure that it covers the entire head. Continue working downwards attaching the wings as you go. When making the wings, build the wings and only attach the inside part of the feather to the wing before cutting out the entire feathers (picture included in packs for visual). Attach the head and neck feathers to the body prior to closing the model with the right or left leg. Glue the feet on to the model and let it dry the way you want the model to stand. And with that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!
