My version of the papercraft Tilo

...hi everyone... first I would like to say congratulations to all of the developers of this game and what a masterpiece of a game it is... I'm 64 years old and have played many... MANY games before now and this game ranks in the top 5 for me as one of my favourites as far as characters go for me... Tilo is magnificent... the artwork and settings are like running around in a painting masterpiece for me... well done to all that are creating this wonderous game... and... there is more to come!... woohoo!... ...
...I have never attempted to do a papercraft model of anything in my life but I saw the printable Tilo model in the other thread and decided to give it a go even though my eyesight and fingers are not as good as they used to be lol!... but!... I had a go at it anyway...
...after a couple of earlier attempts at making it with plain paper/glossy paper and matt paper I decided to give canvass paper a go in order to make my Tilo... it worked perfectly for me... I had trouble making the bell and my sweet wife told me that she had a bell off a Christmas ornament that was the exact replica of the one in the Tilo artwork that I was using as a reference... and it was!... well that inspired me to go a few more steps forward with my model...I added a real button for his hood... the tip of a chopstick for Tilo's teeth and carved to shape... a real rope belt and strap for his bag and...(I was having immense trouble in making Tilo's tail)... soooooo... I made his tail out of a chopstick that was bent into shape in boiling water to my liking... I used watercolour pencils to colour the tail and also to 'touch up' Tilo in the finishing stages...
...anyhow... it was my first ever attempt at something like this with using paper to make a model (canvass paper to be more precise) so I hope that you all like it... it was such a fun project for me... this wonderful game just keeps on giving doesn't it?... so here is my Tilo...
...I do have more images but the forum limit is 3 images per post so I'll post some more in my next post... I do hope that you like them... cheers.
