Pleasing Mega Man Papercrafts

Remember that cool Easter egg in Mega Man X8, where having save data from Mega Man X: Command Mission put you into an added simulation within Optic Sunflower’s stage, allowing one of the Maverick Hunters of 21XX to test their mettle against the first of Dr. Light’s Robot Masters, Cut Man, in a 3D, 8-bit battle?
One member of DeviantArt, ryo007, has managed to recreate about 95% of the effect of that encounter with a cool papercraft diorama:
The above was featured as one of The Toyzone’s “25 of Your Favorite Video Games Recreated as Dioramas” list, but it wasn’t the only Mega Man entry on the list. While Mega Man and Cut Man took the #10 spot, #14 also belonged to another Blue Bomber, MegaMan.EXE of the Battle Network series:
One can’t help but think that maybe Wood Man should have been a part of these.
You can find the full list of dioramas, including Bionic Commando, Pokemon, Mario, Contra, Sonic the Hedgehog, and more here. Then, you can find how to create many of them yourself at the Papercraft Museum and Nintendo Papercraft.

These are nice, abiet old papercrafts.
I have always wanted to do something like this..
Papercraft can be surprisingly easy, depending on which one you do first. I’ve never done a diorama, so I don’t know how difficult it is, but I’ve done things like Model A.
In the Rockman EXE craft, the creator cut out a small area around the arm, but completely left the section between his legs. One would think laziness, forgetfulness or for stability?
Or maybe he was just short on time… Heck, nobody’s perfwect.
My friend got and made me the Cut Man one for my birthday this year, it’s sooooo awesome!
