I'm on part 15 (step 14 in the instructions), which doesn't look hard, but I can't seem to get it right. Looking ahead, I'm not sure what to do with his hand, either. I'm new to this (most 'complicated' model I've assembled before is Canon's papercraft dachshund) so perhaps it was a little ambitious, but it looked so cool I couldn't resist. |

You might expect it to be kinda like a square tube like the other parts of the arm, or the other shoulder, but this shoulder is pressed against Link's body, so it only has "three" sides. You need to bring the two points (I marked them with two black dots) together, and then use the glueing flaps on Link's torso to glue on the shoulder. On the other shoulder, it should be easier, since you can first assemble the shoulder in sort of a square tube, and then work out which way it attaches to the torso. The hands are actually quite easy: once you glued together the top part (with the red "triangles") you just fold over the bottom part. But the trick is, that it doesn't completely cover the underside of the hand: the underside of the fingers will remain white. On other papercrafts of mine, I made the hands completely 3D, but these parts always turned out so small, that I was experimenting with a way to make them easier to build. Once you get the idea, I'm sure you'll have no trouble glueing them together! I hope this helps, and that you can finish your paper model of Link and Epona! greetz ninjatoes |
