Pepakura wolf construction

Assembling and finishing my pepakura wolf! First I began by folding the cardboard pieces and super-gluing the flaps, Prof Scott recommends locktight. I then attached it to a wooden base so that the legs wouldn't pull in when I added material to the exterior. I coated it with a shell of aquaresin and fiberglass, this will make the sculpture waterproof and super strong! It also gives it a cool almost furry texture.
I've started my surfacing of the model with a navy blue underpainting.

    Great work! Where did you get the pepakura file from? I've been searching everywhere for this.

    I actually took the file from a database of pre-existing models, took it into Maya and Rhino to clean up the file and reduce the poly count and then took it into Pepakura.
    I will see if I can find the pepakura file for you.

    I apologize to anyone who had their hopes up, because I took the file from a model bank I technically don't own the file and can't just give it out for free. It is a relatively simple design and I believe anyone with a little 3D modeling experience could make it from scratch. Good luck!
