The moon festival deserves a...

...Moon Rabbit! ^^ It's the Moon Festival next Tuesday and using the momentum from my Dora, I've picked this character, Reisen Inaba, a moon rabbit from the Touhou game series. --For anyone who's about to ask "and who the hell is that":...

List of Touhou Project characters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's the first time I try designing an existing character, but it's been a success over the past three days and now the model is already ready for unroll in Pepakura. And hopefully ready by tomorrow.

(Last picture courtsey of the original game)

Is it a coincidence that the word "Reisen" in Japanese means "Zero FIghter"?

--From my understanding of Japanese those are just coincidental... One is "铃仙" and the other is "零式". But they do sound the same ^^ (sorry to disappoint~)

Thanks Yu, she stands about 10.5 cm tall and that's when I printed it to 0.7 of original scale. Also I designed her with Metaseq and unrolled by Pepakura.

Thanks Lex
Only 10.5cm!
I thought she is taller
Ah, when you design her you make bigger and reduced size when printing
Why ask it is that I am envisioning to design small plane with standing and winking female pilot beside it

Nice idea Yu! But even for a "large", i.e. 1/33 plane you'll need a figure that is only 5cm tall, so I guess the model would have to be greatly simplified... Maybe a one piece face and torso? --I'll check the Pepakura Gallery for ideas ^^
For smaller scales like 1/48 or 1/72, the only solution might be a "flat" figure~
