Dharma Doll Japanese Lucky Charm Paper Model - by Kawasaki Frontale Football Club


photo dharma.doll.papercraft.via.papermau.001aaa_zpsicxn7moq.jpgThis is a Dharma Doll, a Japanese lucky item and this paper model version is offered by Kawasaki Frontale Football Club website. 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.


photo dharma.doll.papercraft.via.papermau.002aaa_zpscerbrygp.jpgEste é um Boneco Dharma, um amuleto da sorte japonês e esta versão em papel é oferecida por Kawasaki Frontale Football Club. 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.

The Beatles - The Cavern Club Diorama Paper Model - by Papermau
The Model Assembled

This model was posted on the blog exactly a year and 11 days ago. I had never assembled this before, only virtually, in Sketchup, so here's the Cavern Club Diorama paper model

When printed on A4 paper, the complete model measures 14 cm wide, 10.5 cm of Aitura by 7.5 cms wide. I decided to let the Beatles deliberately a little larger than the scenery to highlight the figures

I think it's a cool ornament to your LPs or CDs shelf. If you like it, the link to download the model is right below, at the end of this post. Have fun!

Este modelo foi postado aqui no blog há exatamente um ano e 11 dias atrás. Eu nunca o havia montado antes, somente virtualmente, no Sketchup, então eis aqui o Cavern Club Diorama paper model

Quando impresso em papel A4, o modelo completo mede 14 cms de largura, 10,5 cms de aitura, por 7,5 cms de largura. Eu resolvi deixar os Beatles propositalmente um pouco maiores que o cenário, para dar destaque as figuras

Eu creio que seja um enfeite bem legal para sua estante de Lps ou Cds. Se você gostou e quer montar o seu, o link para baixá-lo está logo abaixo, no final deste post. Bom divertimento.

Japanese Boat and House Paper Models From Heian Period
by Yamanashi Museum


These two paper models of an ancient house and a boat are replicas of the real things in the Heian period, in Japan. The Heian period is the last division of classical Japanese history, running from 794 to 1185. The period is named after the capital city of Heian-kyō, or modern Kyōto. It is the period in Japanese history when Buddhism, Taoism and other Chinese influences were at their height. The Heian period is also considered the peak of the Japanese imperial court and noted for its art, especially poetry and literature. Although the Imperial House of Japan had power on the surface, the real power was in the hands of the Fujiwara clan, a powerful aristocratic family who had intermarried with the imperial family. Many emperors actually had mothers from the Fujiwara family. Heian means "peace" in Japanese. - read more at Heian.Period.at.Wikipedia

Estes modelos de papel de uma moradia antiga e um barco são réplicas das coisas reais do Período Heian, no Japão. O período Heian é a última divisão da história clássica japonesa, indo de 794 a 1185. O período recebeu o nome da capital da época, Heian-Kyo, a atual Kyoto. Foi o período da história japonesa no qual o budismo, o taoísmo e outras influências chinesas atingiram o seu máximo. O período Heian também é considerado o pico da corte imperial japonesa e é marcado por sua arte, especialmente poesia e literatura. Apesar do poder da Casa Imperial do Japão, o verdadeiro poder estava nas mãos do clã Fujiwara, uma família aristocrática poderosa que conseguiu arranjar um casamento com o Imperador do Japão. Heian significa "paz e tranquilidade" em japonês. - leia mais em Período.Heian.na.Wikipedia

The Cemetery Keeper Spooky House - Construction Report - Part 01



Halloween is coming and I decided to build the Cemetery Keeper Spooky House. I had not assembled this model yet, so I took some ideas of great assembly made by German modeler Schildimann. The photos in this post are what I've done so far.

O dia das Bruxas está chegando e eu decidi montar a Assustadora Casa do Zelador do Cemitério. Eu não havia montado este modelo ainda, então tirei algumas idéias da ótima montagem feita pelo modelista alemão Schildimann. As fotos deste post são o que eu fiz até agora.


The whole model occupies only three sheets of paper.

O modelo todo ocupa apenas três folhas de papel.


I reinforced the walls with cardboard, painted black, for, besides giving strength to the model, do not let the light transpire from the inside out, unless through the windows, since I intend to illuminate the house.

Eu reforcei as paredes com papel cartão pintado de preto, para, além de dar resistência ao modelo, não deixar a luz transparecer de dentro para fora, a não ser pelas janelas, já que pretendo iluminar a casinha.


Above, cutting the windows and doors frames and preparing them to receive the clear plastic, which I sanded lightly to give the appearance of dirty or fogged glass.

Acima, cortando as molduras das janelas e portas e preparando-as para receber o plástico transparente, que eu lixei levemente para dar a aparência de vidro sujo ou embaçado.


Above the windows and doors already in place and with clear plastic adequately glued individually.

Acima, as janelas e portas já colocadas e com o plástico transparente devidamente colado individualmente.


Above and below you can see the light effect of a simple LED candle, bought in discount stores, that crackle like a real candle and offer no fire hazards.

Acima e abaixo  pode-se ver o efeito de iluminação de uma vela de LED, comprada em lojas de Um Real, que crepita como uma vela de verdade e não oferece risco de incêndio.


In the next post we will assemble the roof, the balcony, the shutters of the windows and a few small details. If you like the Cemetery Keeper Spooky House, you can download the templates right below.

No próximo post vamos montar o telhado, a varanda, as venezianas da janelas e mais alguns pequenos detalhes. Se você gostou da Assustadora Casa do Zelador do Cemitério, o link para baixá-la está logo abaixo.
