Maybe I'm getting back to this a bit early, but here's where I am compared to July 2008, about to go into 2009.

1 through 3---good to go.
4. Papertoys
a. Sparky--Just released the prior Sparkys as blank templates, and even better, made him MODULAR!
b. HedKase--Cafeteria Trey Mark 3 released
c. Grumm--Still wanting to custom, but did a different MCK project (Drukk) first (*Still to do)
d. E440--Still one of the models I love best, but awaiting a Skin Inspiration. (*Still to do)
e. Dookie Poo--done, not won, but now became my most downloaded project, Action Figure Doctor Office.
f. Top Secret--#1 is 75% done, #2 has stalled out due to curves. (*Still to do)
g. Learned the program
h. Bought a Wacom Bamboo Fun--great for hand drawn effects. Like it lots.
i. Sneaker--this was just to comment on a recurring sore spot in design--intellectual property rights.
j. Goovil--released, and now I'm interested in "Maturing" or re-thinking the skin
k. Scrapbooking store had nothing new to show me, but I turned them on to Nice Paper Toys...
l. Blog--keeps on trucking
m. Foldskool--The Ancient Mariner is available now, on my site and Marshall's
n. Hedkase--I know what I will do if I come back around to this--but for now, I will focus on unattempted models.
o. Drukk--fully realized and downlodable on my site and MCK's
p. Antlors--Successfully hanging up, look like I should try out the blanks that came with...

OK-- 6 months later and what do I have to (papertoy) show for it...

1.) Lots of conceptual stuff (in sketches)
2.) Multiple Partial Speakerdogs...need the finishing touches to be realized.
3.) Looking forward to that Frankenbean...He had me at "Donkey Kong."
4.) Freshen up my Goovil model's art..learned a lot since my first model 3 years ago
5.) I Love you E440! I know that someday I will custom you!
6.) Dolly Oblong's totem--I really like the concept and simplicity.
7.) Action Figure Dioramas! More to come later...

Keep up the great work!

Greetings, Ring

i have some plan in mind...

but i think i need to work on my Adobe Illustrator first... because i;m not a neat person, so that i have to work it, and making neat pattern. :)

to do :
Customizing most of DIY pattern i found into ZOMBIEMIZE style ( i'm not a 'real' big fan of zombie, i just found it interesting, and nice to draw)

I plan to make a lot of Lemi Custom by myself. :) and keep thinking about making a real great and easy to made pattern.

Dr Shazam made a good point: visit this list often.

I have to confess that I didn't stick to my own list: I made a Foldskool Hero Batmobile (not on the list) and a Wilsumm (also not on the list)

Luckily I already wrote an escape hatch: "possibility to change the models shape" once I saw the way Marshall made the Foldskool hero template, I immediately got inspired. Eric's create a Grumm so I wanted to return that favor. In some cases I don't get inspired but Eric's model did.

So a little update on my todo-list:
1. Upload/display all custom Grumms I received
2. Design/build a page on my blog for all the customs that I did
3. Design/build a page for Drukks

Papertoys:
1. Stop being intimidated by G-boy and design a skin!!!! (I can't think of ways to modify the template, so it has to be a skin design :( )
2. This project looks the most attractive right now, because it's templates are made for modification!
3 + 4. are not changed from my previous list (same problem as with G-boy)
5. Design a ninja for Marko Zubak (he created a Drukk) (same problem as with G-boy)
6. Three new models for Drukk

And I'm working on a killer new Grumm

Oh man, this todo-list is hard :-)


E440: gefeliciteerd met je zoon (ondertussen ook al 2 maanden oud)

Little update on my todo-list:
1. almost got them all....
2. Design/build it, but still need it to get it working with WordPress
3. Done

Papertoys:
1. Created one, but Phil doesn't "speak" to me anymore >> probably because he decided to stop with G-Boy customs
2 + 3 + 4 + 5. I have been doing other stuff, nothing here
6. Waiting for the last 2 entries in the Pusher Series #1 (I'm "waiting" for Scott Schaller's Dr bear and then I just need one more drukk..)

And now I'm working on two killer Grumm....

A little update:

My todo list is not getting smaller, but bigger it seems to get easier...
and I can't check any point off the list

I seem to be in a me-myself-and-I state of mind lately, so customs for others have moved to the back of my mind...

#1
I'm currently busy to create two new models for the art show at Subwalk (Arnhem). We set a 3 model limit for everyone, and we want to show the model from the Urban paper book; that why I want two new models.

You have seen wip models of them already (NoissGrumm and a character that is very cruvy)
NoissGrumm is still out of balance, and the curvy model is difficult to make.

#2
About a year ago I started a project, which at the time was a little bit more then I could chew, and I would like to finish it. It was/is called CustmmGrumm and it was possible to make your own shaped hand and feet for Grumm. If I ever get it to work, it will be great.

#3
A model that I want to build is a papermodel based upon the work of Theo Jansen (www.strandbeesten.com). It's an automata.

#4
I want to "translate" a papertoy of mine to a resin model

#5
I have two awesome concepts for the Drukk Selfish series

#6
Some new models that I want to customize: Nick Knite is working on a Mecha bunny, Dolly Oblong model is hot, a model which name I can't remember but is a pencil with a cap....

So stop babbling, and go to work

Oh man, good post. I live by 'to do' lists, unfortunately my 'illustration work to-do' list has to come before my 'other projects to-do' lists, but as far as paper toys go... (in no particular order)

Cubeecraft
PYRA:MI[N]DS
Kellen Waugh's (tentatively titled) project
Another NaniBird for the next series
Phil's G-Boy

and... design a new character as a paper toy myself.

Good discussion, shows that everyone is keeping busy!
