So I'm heading back to Uni tomorrow, and I am pretty excited!  

The Summer Holidays have been doing my head in and I don't think I could stand another week of not doing anything; I would have been Paperpoké-ing, but as you know I ran out of glue.  I tried four other brands, but I found none of them satisfactory.  And I think managed to purchase 10 bottles of glue from Amazon (forever indebted to *P-M-F) but they won't arrive until next  month.  So, I have been staring at all these printed templates and have not been able to do anything with them - frustrating much!

I have made a Marrowak and Cubone, but they need some editing still, and i have been making some non-Paperpoké models, like another Weighted Companion Cube and a giant papercraft diamond ring in a papercraft ring-box.  But with these non-Power Pritt Gel glues, they are not anywhere near as good as the glue I normally use.  Once again, I cannot reiterate how crutial a good glue is, and now that Henkel have stopped making mine, I don't know what I'll do when I run out of it ... when it comes.  I guess I'll have to find another hobby, or get a full-time job, lol!

I think that my time at Paperpokés is coming to an end anyways; I've been around since we founded it in 2008 and without Paperbuff it just hasn't been the same.  We've had a recent infusion of new blood and I find myself being less and less necessary.  It's been fun, with lots of ups and a few downs.  And I've made some amazing friends (whom I still would love to meet in real life), and connected with some great people that I would probably have never met had I not been such a Nintendo-phile in the begining.  

I'll probably do two maybe three more Paperpoké models and then I think it'll be time to say "adieu".  Perhaps, if I have any time, maybe I could do an occasional model during a Uni holidays, but there are no promises.  However, before I do go into "retirement", I think I'll make some special models to thank you guys for being so kind to me: Glaceon, Sableye, and hopefully the perfect Gengar - that would be nice :)  

With full-time study and kids, it's just too hard to commit myself like I use to.  I'll hopefully get industry-placement by the end of the year, so there definitely won't be any time left left to sit, cut and get sticky fingers.  I'll still submit stuff I make in Uni, here (once they've been assessed), so it's not really "goodbye", just "see you around sometime".

I have another question! Is there any way to fix a piece if it's indented with no way of popping that part back out again? >_<

Oh dear! It's tricky, and it probably won't look nearly as good as it use to, but if you can squeeze a pin into one of the tab seams, you could (maybe) be able to fix the dent.

No, sadly, I hung up my Paperpokes active testbuilder hat just before gen 5 was released. To be honest, there are only 151 pokemon for me anyways, lol!
