Papermau Exclusive - 2012`s Restropective - And A Happy New Year!!!


Photobucket

Today, the last day of 2012 as well as last year, in this post, which is the last post of the year, I do a retrospective of the year. This year, visits to the blog quadrupled and participation of friends and readers increased significantly.

Hoje, no último dia do ano, como fiz no ano passado, neste último post de 2012, eu aproveito para fazer uma retrospectiva de tudo que aconteceu no blog. Este ano, as visitas ao blog quadruplicaram e a participação dos amigos e leitores cresceu muito mesmo.

Photobucket

I received many ideas, links to models and even warnings about pirated models, exactly as happened today, with an anonymous friend who warned me about piracy of a model of a French designer. The link was properly removed from the blog.

Recebo muitas idéias, links para modelos e até alertas sobre modelos pirateados, como ocorreu hoje mesmo: um amigo anônimo deixou um comment sobre um modelo postado aqui no blog que foi pirateado de um colega modelista francês. O link foi devidamente removido do blog.

Photobucket

In this year, Papermau had published 2224 posts, with free paper models by designers of all the world. I published exactly 40 unique and exclusive paper models in this year, and some models stood out, as the Venice Diorama and the Kiss - Gene Simmons Paper Toy.

Neste ano Papermau teve exatamente 2224 posts publicados, com modelos de papel gratuítos de modelistas e sites de todas as partes do mundo, literalmente. Eu publiquei 40 modelos de minha autoria neste ano e alguns se destacaram mais, como o Diorama de Veneza e o recente Kiss - Gene Simmons Paper Toy.

Muito obrigado à todos que visitam o blog. Eu aproveito este post para desejar um bom 2013 para todos!  É isso! - Mauther

Dharma Doll Japanese Lucky Charm Paper Model - by Canon - Amuleto Da Sorte


Photobucket

The first Dharma dolls are said to have been made some 300 years ago at the Sorensen Dharma Temple in Takasaki City in Gunma Prefecture, modeled after the Zen monk, Bodhidharma. The eyebrows and beard represent the crane and the turtle, long considered symbols of longevity in Japan, and the dolls are popular as good luck charms. It is traditional to paint in the left pupil (the right one facing you) when you make a wish, and then paint in the right pupil when the wish comes true. Also, it is said to be most lucky to place the doll so that it faces south. In Japan, red and white are considered lucky and these are the usual colors for a Dharma doll. There are other dolls with different colors, based on oriental astrology, so you can select the color of the doll based on the nature of your wish and your lucky color, increasing the fun and perhaps the efficacy of the charm. The color red is said to have the power to promote vitality and bring good luck. It should be used to bring victory in work, study or love, etc. - Canon

Dizem que os primeiros bonecos Dharma foram feitos há mais de 300 anos no Templo Sorensen Dharma, na Cidade de Takasaki, no Japão, e foram feitos pelo monge Zen Bodhidharma. As sobrancelhas e a barba representam o grou e a tartaruga, considerados símbolos de longevidade no Japão, e estes bonecos são populares como amuletos de boa sorte. Tradicionalmente, costuma-se pintar a pupíla do olho esquerdo no boneco, enquanto pensamos em um desejo a ser realizado. Quando esse desejo é atendido, pinta-se a pupíla direita, como sinal de agradecimento pela graça alcançada. Também é uma tradição deixar a face do boneco virado para o Sul, pois acredita-se que isso trás sorte. no Japão, vermelho e branco são consideradas cores que trazem sorte e são as cores mais comuns usadas nos Dharmas. Há Dharmas de muitas outras cores, baseadas na astrologia oriental, então você pode escolher a cor que mais lhe agrada, baseando-se na natureza de seu pedido ou sua cor da sorte, aumentando assim a diversão e quem sabe a eficácia do amuleto.

Lucky Gnome Paper Model - by Canon - Gnomo Da Sorte

Photobucket
Classic Garden Gnomes
For those who believe in such things, here's a nice paper model of a handsome Lucky Gnome, by Japanese site Canon. A gnome is a "spirit of the earth," and the name "gnome" refers to the male creatures, whereas the females are called "gnomids." They live underground in cities they have created, with lifestyles just like humans. They protect their own treasure and have featured in many picture books, fairy tales, and other literary works since times of old. Garden Gnomes are also popular in the United Kingdom and United States. These are decorative statues for the garden that show gnomes in various poses.

Para aqueles que acreditam nessas coisas, eis aqui um modelo de papel de um simpático Gnomo da Sorte, do site japonês Canon. Um gnomo é um "espírito da terra", e o nome de "gnomo" refere-se às criaturas do sexo masculino, enquanto que as fêmeas são chamados de "gnomids" (essa eu não sabia!). Eles vivem no subsolo, em cidades que criaram, com vários estilos de vida, assim como os humanos. Eles protegem seu próprio tesouro e são retratados em muitos livros ilustrados, contos de fadas, e outras obras literárias desde os tempos antigos. Gnomos de jardim também são populares no Reino Unido e Estados Unidos. São estátuas decorativas para o jardim que mostram os gnomos em várias poses.

Star Wars - R5 Series Astromech Droid Paper Model - by Noturno Sukhoi

The "Real" Things - Black Version
By Noturno Sukhoi team, more one cool paper model of Star Wars Universe! The R5-series astromech droid was a line of low cost astromech droids built by Industrial Automaton. Based upon the success of prior astromech models, such as the wildly popular R2-series, Industrial Automaton intended the R5-series to cater to budget buyers at the cost of some functionality. Because of their inexpensive construction, however, droids of this series were plagued by a number of design flaws—most obviously, a sullen demeanor and sharp attitude resulting from deficiencies in the machine's personality matrix. - Star Wars Wikia

Da equipe do site Noturno Sukhoi, mais um belo modelo do universo de Star Wars! A“R5 Series” é uma linha de "Dróides Astromecânicos" de baixo custo, construída baseando-se no sucesso dos modelos mais antigos e populares da “SérieR2”, mas atendendo a compradores de orçamento reduzido, ao custo da perda de algumas funcionalidades. Devido à economia na produção, os dróides desta linha sofrem com muitas falhas de projeto, principalmente comportamento mal-humorado e teimosia, devido à falhas na matriz de personalidade da máquina. - Noturno Sukhoi
