Character Stand Improvement

The stand I made in the last post has been redesigned completely, and I believe that it has improved to a great extent. Unfortunately, due to a printing mishap, I have only been able to make yet another prototype, so this project is still far from the final.

 As you can see, the template is now covered in various graphics. Sadly it is in black and white, so I have chose not to cover it in vinyl.

 Now it is cut out.

 Time to close up the final fold.

 Behold! The completed character pedestal!

It can even be flipped upside down.

After finishing this prototype, I think I've learned enough to make the final version something super refined. I'm excited to see how nice a colored version would look in vinyl. I don't think I struggled too badly, as I have learned from my previous mistakes and have used something better than  glue stick. This time the adhesive of my choice was regular school white glue... So maybe not a large step up from a glue stick, but it was enough of an upgrade that I can toss the paper craft around without worrying about it exploding. If there were any struggles for this project, it was staying steady and still while cutting the paper trying to hold in my excitement. Also another struggle was finding a proper tool to score the paper was somewhat of a struggle, but luckily my teacher gave me a large paperclip so that struggle was easily alleviated. Overall, I'd say I'm ready to make a final version.

BONUS:

The little figures I wanted are now in the making, but they aren't ready yet, so here's a quick... thing as a place holder. I call him "GnUURrRT" because that's the sound I'd imagine this thing making.
