Description
EDIT - yeah, I changed the picture a bit. I hated it. ^^ Still not entirely sure... might take some new photos. :/
I thought I ought to flesh out some of the categories on my site other than Zelda... I feel bad doing pokemon papercrafts, though, since the paperpokes guys do such a great job... but there are so many beautiful pokemon out there crying to be papercraft...ed. Perhaps it wasn't such a great choice though, as it's all tails. The ratio of body:tails is 4 pages:10 pages. And all those tails cause problems... it's very hard to stand up, for a start. And all those tails really protest about being stuck on (yes, tails can protest)... You need a steady hand, some patience and a lot of super glue. Or you could do what I did - give up, forget about looks and crack open the duct tape. (carefully hidden from you in the photo. 
) If anyone manages to do it well - yes, this is a challenge for you - show me! I would be very interested. And very impressed.Have a go. Download it here: [link]
and thanks for bothering to read my long description.

I just finished crafting it.....Those tails....were the evilest thing to attach. I picked a fun first papercraft. Also had to make a makeshift stand by creating a small papercraft block out of a notecard to get the tails to not fall backwards.

*looks at photo closely after reading description* I SEE THE DUCT TAPE! ITS IN-BETWEEN THE 1ST AND 2ND TAILS ON THE LEFT SIDE
1- exact-o knife w/ blades
2- hot glue (for tails only)
3- alovara (for if u get burned)
4- glue stick
5- print on cardstock paper (thicker than normal paper)
6- the PDO ver so u know were to put everything
7- shells to hold it down (and a markka ^^)
btw, how big is it?

you use a glue stick? I find PVA easier.
But it's about 27cm tall.

paper isn't exactly hard to come by. Spare time, however...

cardstock* it's better, makes it look more crisp, and a LOT easyer 2 work w/. the bigger the papercraft, the thicker you want the cardstock

yeah, I know. But even cardstock is a lot easier to come by than spare time.

Hey, the more Poké-crafts the better! I've seen many requests for Ninetails, too. For the balancing problem, I've heard of people attaching coins to the inside of their crafts to balance it out. (I tried it once though and it just made things worse <.<) I guess it's a little late for that anyway... :S
I love the regal pose, awesome job!

yeah, i've heard of coins too... problem is that guy has NINE tails. NINE. And each one is bigger than its body... LOTS of coins aren't even heavy enough!
