ZeroEdge's Stuff - ZE's Pad (formerly Shinki Shelf)
Wed 2011/12/21 00:39 JST
ZE's Pad, formerly known as Shinki Shelf, is basically complete!
Why change the name? Because my Busou Shinki now share the place with my Figmas and other figures.
If you all remember, my old Shinki Shelf is patterned on a traditional Japanese home, but now as more figures moved in (and with plenty more to follow), I thought I should redesign it to be more of an entertainment and gaming spot for everyone to relax in. Everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) here is scratch-built from paper and cardboard and bits of clear plastic (except for the figures, duh!).
So here are some pics from construction to decoration, and everything in between...

My old display cabinet has a problem... the shelf sinks quite a bit in the center back, so I used cardboard to provide a nice, flat surface for the flooring. There is even space provided for small drawers to store some stuff in.
After doing the walls and flooring (using specialty paper), I built a new TV mount for my papercraft plasma TV (which is pretty neat since it has interchangeable screens). The old kotatsu is there, though without the fabric, an will serve as a coffee table. I built a new sofa set, complete with pillows and a nifty little hidden space to store stuff in, like a pistol and Kirino's eroge.
More papercraft stuff. A ping pong table for recreation, a pink VAIO for Kirino (dunno why the figma left this out), a pc set and speakers.
Here's a pc table made out of cardboard, white sticker paper and paint.
Now here's the table loaded...
Dunno how to manage a papercraft mouse, so made a touchpad instead.
I wanted a DDR arcade in 1/12 scale... but I can't find any of Konami's Desktop Arcade Collection anywhere near my home. No papercraft templates are available online, so what's a guy got to do to have one? Build his own from scratch! Yes, this is MY papercraft!
Also built an elevated area, covered with carpeting (gray felt paper), and if you look at the left edge of the pic, there's a white banister there using clear acrylic sheets sprayed with clear plastic primer... the end result is a smoked glass effect!

I printed out a bunch of posters to adorn the walls of the shelf. Kinda shows what anime I'm into. BTW, Ayu is holding my favorite Mythbusters poster.
Kirino comparing posters of her and Kuroneko.
... I can't really blame their reactions to both those posters...
After a lot of work adding wallpapers and sorting out the shelf's layout, this is what I have...
Built a Christmas tree, just for the holidays. The TV mount's shelves need to be filled with dvd's or something...
Some of my shinkis chill out watching TV. Professor Layton is enjoying tea with Kuroneko until Kirino starts to pick a fight.
A ping pong match with Yoshika pitted against Kagamiku. Miku herself and Kos-Mos are in spectator mode..
Looks like my fencer sisters are too busy with all the computers to look at the camera... or even notice that one of the pc speakers has fallen (that one was actually my fault)...
Azunyan and Yui practicing a bit... The rest of Hokago Tea Time coming soon...
Here's the mini arcade section. The two IM@S arcades I built ways back. Noir having a chat with Luka, while Rui wants to try the DDRX arcade, but she ought to remove her boots first...
A little zoom out shot.
The three built-in drawers. Busou Shinki weaponry, my scratch-built weapons and misc. gunpla parts each has its own drawer.
Another zoom out shot...
The cabinet's top shelf is home to most of my papercraft figures. I ought to buy a new cabinet to relocate my papercraft in, especially since they're all too crowded. Once that is done, the top shelf is gonna transform into an awesome concert stage!
Well, that's it for now... Until next time, stay tuned for more updates!

Very cool! Do you have any tuts for all that or did you just come up with it yourself?
Nah, I've been building stuff out of paper and cardboard since grade school, so I can say I've got experience on my side. Papercraft you can learn anywhere on the netz, and once you're confident with your skills, you can start scratch-building your own stuff.
WOOOOOOW your stuff looks so amazing I don't have words to describe it (OoO)!
Thanks! I think I also impressed myself, to be honest...
I really like your stuff <(^.^<) and I was wondering if you would make some stuff to sell.
No need, most of those stuff you can get free of the netz, all you need is time and effort.
As your fellow "Kabayan"...your stuff was so....GREAT!!
Thanks, "Kabayan"!
I..I'm impressed with your paper craft skills. It's really amazing, you can make anything, it seems! Miniature furniture is expensive and has a really small selection so it must be great to have such a useful and creative skill! :D
About miniature furniture, the problem where I'm from is the availability... I just can't find good stuff with the scale I want (roughly 1/12) so building them myself is just about the only option.
This is great! <3
Cool! Glad someone appreciates that piece of work.
iDOLM@STER! I approve!
>_<
You're amazing! This is really awesome! I love your set up and you are great at papercrafts!
Thanks! It is good to have years of experience of working with paper. And to be honest, thinking up the layout took an awful lot of time (interior design I have NO experience with, lol).
Sweet setup! Love how all the walls are decorated with anime art and that there's an arcade section of the room :)
Lol, that's what I want in MY room.
i enjoyed watching the details of your craft...talented talaga tayo mga pinoy :)
Lolz, that be so true!
