Chell from Portal 2

Image
Chell, the protagnist of the Portal series of games which are some of my all-time favourite. I designed her wearing her costume from Portal 2 as the one she wore in the first portal game, an orange jumpsuit, felt a bit plain. The paper maquette is 35mm from head to toes so about 1/52 to 1/60 scale depending how tall Chell is actually meant to be. The arms and legs came out a bit too bulky when compared to the character in-game. The portal gun for its part feels to be a bit too long. I might make another version at some point.

papercraft figurines

I like the ease of customisation and cheapness in making paper figurines for games but, for fairly obvious reason, I find that they are hard to see on large displays unless you're at just the right angle. Because of that, I've started a bit of experimentation into making 3D paper figurines. below are a few examples made in the past 2 months, all of which about 40mm tall or about equivalent to the 1:43 / O scale. Their construction, so far, tends to be the same: a carcasse of cardboard over which printed paper is applied.
