No-Face

It's been pretty quite in paperkraft land for the past couple weeks, not because I've run out of paper models to do, but I've been doing my very own paper model. I won't go into details that much but let me tell you about the software I used, I bought Newtek Lightwave 8.5 as my 3D modeler and Tamasoft's Pepakura Designer to convert the 3D object to a paper model. I've chosen No-Face (Spirited Away) as my first model because it was the most requested via email and also I think it's pretty easy???
As you can see from the pics below that the final model is a bit small and still has that blocky effect all over his face and body, I'm still in the process of refining those features and making him about 2 or 3 times bigger. Also, I have not finished the instructions for assembling him (for novices), but most of you shouldn't have any problems with this one, I've pretty much aligned up the parts to be connected. This paper model is about 3 1/2" x 1 1/2" when completed.
So, I hope you like it and keep updated for the "smoother" version coming soon.
