Santa Park

On Thursday December 16th 2010, I visited Central Park after I bought myself some plastic models and paint supply from PnP @ Taman Anggrek, Jakarta. PnP was my regular store when it comes to hobby store especially military scale models.  On the other hand I was stunned to see the beautiful Santa Park theme that was 100% build entirely by LEGO. The event last from December 3rd 2010 till January 9th 2011, this event held by Central Park for the upcoming Christmas and New Year's holiday.

 While we are on the holiday spirits, I want to share you the customized Nani Bird paper toy in here by SP2, you can read the whole news and where to download it in here. So happy building and Happy Holiday from me. I'm going for a break a while and will come back after finishing my year end personal project in web design. So till we meet again, maybe in this year or in 2011 !!!

Boys with Toys

As you can see on the above picture, there was standing on my office desk two of my favorite Gundam Action Figure released by BANDAI under the name Gundam Stand Art. Actually the models have 1:200 scale, so it quite small enough but they managed to maintained all the details and color from bigger action figures.
In the left was my all time favorite mobile suit called MS-18E Kaempfer and on the right was Gundam F91 (Harrison Mardin Custom). And since this is a paper model blog let me inform you, as far as I know there are only one model regarding the Kaempfer and its only the HEAD parts. As for the Gundam F91, you can check it in here, and you can customize the color since in my link the paper model came in the original color piloted  by Seabook Arno.  For the Kaempfer link I think it's already dead, or some one out there can tell me whether there is one designer who distributed Kaempfer paper model freely with whole body from head to toe. 
And as soon as the end of year coming I'm preparing my earn hard cash to hunts more Gundam action figures for my end year gift bonus. I always do this to appreciate my self by buying toys or action figures at the end of the year, just for fun and knowing that my inner child in me never dies. Like what the people always said BOYS WITH TOYS.

The event itself start on November 12th  and end November 14th 2010. I was not able to attend the event because from Saturday November 13th, I have to go to my family in Bandung.

Papercraft Designer Profile : Happy Hutri Pamungkas

 I don't know what I'm supposed to call  this guy, but in PERI , Happy Hutri Pamungkas name is so popular and we considered him as our informal PERI mascot. His friends and colleagues called him Sonny, he knew paper model from our article coverage in HAI magazine all the way back in 2009. First time I met him was on our  gathering in Plaza Semanggi before IndoComtech 2009. I'm not asked to call teacher by this guy, but in his blog he seems to think that I'm his teacher.

Well then the student already surpassed the teacher maybe, he already designed a simple paper model (Inter Milan football club logo) on son2boy paper. But in terms of building skills, he must learn so much from me and the other builder in PERI.His first paper model build was Nessajthe Chaos knight , that was the popular DOTA character from hobikit.kertas.com. Still a college student in  Institut Manajemen Telkom major in MBTI. He first learn to design paper model around the end of 2009, and still want to finish his Unicorn Gundam paper model by paper-replika.com.

Seems to his opinion to beon Dahsyat RCTI and got his name on KOMPAS Bandung article is his greatest achievement. And I admitted he succeed to spread the paper model virus in his university and he's very active by publishing our event and exhibition in Bandung together with other PERI Bandung member.
PS: The picture above was a PAPER TOY tribute for SONY from other designer paper model.

For your information KASKUS is the Largest Indonesian Community that have more than 2 million member.

Anyway congrats to Ruang Antho and hopefully there will be more event like this that can promote paper model to larger public.

Diorama Paper Model

Diorama Paper Model is one type of paper model  that replicate the actual conditions of the real life by using miniature figure, building or any kind of vehicles by scale from 1:25 to 1:6. I think that is my personal definition of  Diorama Paper Model. As you can see above from my latest picture about Diorama Paper Model.All the scale for above diorama are 1:35, I used the same scale as the one that commonly used in military diorama from plastic model kit.

Actually if you buy a commercial paper model from the Internet, they actually came in 1:25 scale, so it quite bigger than their counterpart in  plastic model military diorama. For the things you need to know about the basics of this type of model are : composition, point of focus,  foliage, base material, miniature figure and scale.

For your information if you want to build the diorama like  my second picture above, you can visit this link, and it's for free. And till now I still used plastic model miniature figure for all my diorama paper model because I couldn't find 3D miniature figure from paper model designer. And I hope for the paper model designer that read this will soon built the models, believe me guys there are a bunch of paper model builder out there wishing the same thing as I am.

UrbanFest is an annual event that held every year in Jakarta focusing on urban lifestyle. This year Paper Replika Indonesia (PERI) have been invited to this wonderful event that will be held in Pasar Seni Ancol from 20 till 21 November 2010.
I'm personally excited about this event, for one reason we also get invited to the same event last year, but due to our busy schedule last year we couldn't make it to the event. I think after we get the confirmation from the organizer PERI will put more than 100% effort to made this event succeed.

My Neighbour Totoro

I know I've been lazy updating this blog. There are many reasons for that. The first one is I got promoted to higher position in my office so I can no longer have the free time to update this blog as often as usual. The second one, this month especially for PERI community there are no news or activity to covered from exhibition or workshop.

So I used my spare time to watch this wonderful anime My Neighbour Totoro (1988) directed by the legendary Hayao Miyazaki. It was so wonderful that after I watched the movie I began to search for the TOTORO paper model . And I finally find it, and if you are as curious as I am you can download it in here. Hmm, I bet my daughter will be delighted to see me bring this model when I came to visit my family again in Bandung.

PERI Paper Model Coaching Clinic (Photo Report)

The first PERI Paper Model Coaching Clinic went quite well, the participants exceed our full capacity (41 people came to this event). Concept Magazine as the host overwhelmed  by the participants spirits. Although it's heavy rain and the traffic jam was very bad (these two things made me came late to this event) the event finally took off from 6.30 pm, 30 minutes off the scheduled 6 pm. Actually I can made it on time if my friend who supposed to took me there showed up, but he didn't. So poor me I have to take the taxi and you can guess how bad is Jakarta traffic jam while it's heavy raining. Big thanks to Rino Liha, Anto, Beta, Roi,Chris and Imam who helped me by tutoring all the participants. I guess this one is not the end, cause we will meet again in 2 months time for another great Coaching Clinic like this. All the picture credit goes to ROI and thanks for uploading it.  P.S: Boys and girls please don't try this at home for the latest picture, it's very bad for your paper model.
