Danbo Papercraft Model

 

Category : ,

I’ve finally finished my papercraft Danbo, or should I say Danbo Pepakura. This model stands about 12 cm high and only uses 2 sheets of paper.

Took me 6 hours to finish my danboard papercraft project .

While assembling my Danbo, I made a few mistakes, like gluing its legs too close together. Because of that, my Danbo can’t lower its head much since there’s not enough leg space. Also, its right hand turned out way too loose compared to the left.


This happened because I didn’t make the connection tight enough.. I was worried it wouldn’t move at all. I read that someone else glued theirs too tightly, and they couldn’t even move a finger. Overall, Danbo’s paper model is quite finicky, it can’t be too tight or too loose.

Danboard, or commonly known as Danbo, is a character that appears in one chapter of Yotsuba’s manga. It was later produced as a figurine by Revoltech as the Danboard Yotsuba! action figure. You can read the chapter from Yotsuba’s manga online.

I use Yujiwae’s guide on assembling danbo.
