This Festival is to celebrate their new campus area after they removed from the old one. The event only took one day from 10 pm till 7 pm at Epicentrum Walk Level 3.
The highlight model for this event from my personal opinion are Iron Man figurine from Rino Liha and 1/16 scale P51D Mustang by Riando (thanks bro by giving me the right name of the airplane). The event was spectacular and very crowded with so many people, because we are not the only community that invited by IDS. The picture above are some credit goes to Mr Adhi and Mr Asiong.

From Builder to Designer

From my previous papercraft builder profile RAUF and ANTHO back in 2009, there are good news coming from both of them. They already leveled up their skills and became a papercraft designer.
Rauf built his first papercraft design DASH-1 Emperor from the famous manga and anime series. As for Antho he made a pirate paper toy for his concern about design piracy.

As far as I know, Rauf studied papercraft design from many people but there are three people which can be named as his tutor. They are Arif Suseno,Rizky Feriansyah and Julius Perdana. Antho tutor in papercraft design was Faisal Azad. So I congratulate both of them for their effort to make Indonesian papercraft becoming much recognize in the international forums and websites.

Papercraft Builder Profile : Afif Whelly Artis Sandi

Meet the master for mini paper model, Afif Whelly Artis Sandi. In our forum his nickname is serhastya. As you can see on the first picture above he made Kaskus Emoticon Paper Toy in A9 paper size. The size is only 1 x 1 x 1.25 cm (can you believe that ???). The second picture was his master piece model taken from Yamaha sites, YZR M1 GO !!!
Since 1994 he knew this hobby and his first model was Avro Lancaster taken from Angkasa Magazine. From high school he already made a mini paper model from Angkasa Magazine by rescaled the model till 4 times smaller. As a result for it he made JAS Gripen, F/A-18 Hornet and F-15 Eagle about 5 cm long.
He likes doing mini paper model because there are certain challenge in building the model, also not all paper model can be rescaled to mini paper model. Other reason is to conserve space to put his built model. Still happy being single at 27 years of age and he admit that many of his friend already infected by his papercraft virus.

Mini Paper Model

In PeRI forum there is a new trend to make paper model in miniature size. For your information usually this model print on A5 till A9 paper size. To get the picture how small the paper size please check above for paper size comparison. From my experience as far as I can go is to build paper model on A6 paper size ( such as my Dawala).
But my fellow papercraft builder Adhi already built Ichigo by paper-replika.com in A8 paper size as you can see in the second picture (it only stands  4 cm tall !!!). But in the next papercraft builder profile I will give you some one who already built a paper toy in A9 paper size.
