A while back Nick Knite asked me to create a custom for his MechaBunny.
I’ve created NOISSGrunny:
But the Mecha6 are made by a all-star papertoy team: Scott Schaller, Shin Tanaka, Tougui, Castleforte, Marshall Alexander and ME.
The Mecha6 have arrived!!
Here the Nick Knite – MechaBunny slideshow on Flickr (including my custom):
Scott Schaller blew me away with a custom for Grumm
Do you see the Grumm in there?
Lets try again:
No? nothing. Nether did I:
But it’s true, it started as a Grumm
What can I say, Scott is amazing
He should stop calling it a Grumm custom and give it his own name.
Perhaps this started as a Grumm, but this is completely different DNA.
Grumm evolution
I’m one step closer filling the 6 slots for Pusher Series 1 (Designers on Drukks).
Scott Schaller is filling the 5th slot with his Dr. Bear
An awesome design. And I love the extras Scott designed for Dr. Bear, especial the brain case.. Always wanted a evil Doctor in my papertoys collection.
Of course is Scott and Nice paper toys member, you almost have to be 😉 …
Some other nice-to—know information: Scott is a Graphic Design Teacher, which isn’t that special: a lot of papertoy designers have a creative job or education. No, besides teaching Graphic Design, Scott is also in charge of an after school program: F studio.
As a design teacher, I often throw in a lot of hand skills oriented components to the projects I assign. The computer plays a big part in all of our projects, but the finishing of a project, whether it is binding a box or constructing a packaging comp, is the part that makes the project complete. Paper toy crafting just seems to be a natural next step, combining design and illustration, hand skills, and toy making.

we are making our own vinyl toys, including the design, sculpting, and casting of resign models
How cool it that!!! I’m trying to figure this stuff out in my spare time and here is a teacher who can teach you everything you ever wanted to know. Man I’m jealous.
