it came put really black, but workable. I will tweak it until I get the right shades. this is what paper modeling is all about! increasing skills and understanding!

spaceagent, here is what I had in mind for creating hair-textures. I did it with Gimp, and in the screenshots you can see really every step, there is nothing I did hide between them, so you don't have to learn the whole program if you want to try it yourself.
For a real model I would use a much larger picture so that there are more hairs, and rescale it afterwards. Also with using different blur radii, you could get a better result. The good thing is that it needs just a minute for a whole image full of hairs. Hope this helps! Thorsten |

These may terrible ideas, if so feel free to ignore this newbie, but maybe a fabric shop would have a felt or wool type fabric you could cover him with? Or maybe a type of flocking, like woodworkers use to line jewelry boxes, etc?
Or, maybe a thin coat of something like PVA glue, combed to look like hair before it sets, then painted? It will be interesting to see how you solve this. Good luck!

i like the glue idea.
those are great blurs. but I don't know how they will print out, I will try to capture one and print it out later today, kind of a busy weekend, but will get back to this. thanks! |

I forgot to mention that I wanted to present kong in a procedure that almost any paper modeler could do. scratch building one just for me is no problem.
it all depends on what prints out right. there is a lot of change that happens between picture and paper. |

I see VinceM beat me to it, but I was going to suggest flocking also. Been a standby for model car interiors to simulate carpet for years. Another idea that has really gained ground in the last couple of years for that is embossing powder. You can find both at most craft stores that carry scrapbooking supplies.

good news, the hair works pretty good, I might reduce the image and try again, but at least it looks like hair if you fold lines instead of rolling the sections for limbs and torso.
will finish a basic kong and then redo the entire model and post. |

kong hair works!
ok, so now I got texture , but I ran out of ink and wont get any until Monday.
I made a kong, but its all out of proportion, mostly a Frankenstein of techniques to see what works and what doesn't. I might put it on a stage. don't take this blind run thru seriously, |
