Tiki, is the name usually given to a pole-like wooden sculpture, with a somewhat humanoid form. Derived from Polynesian History, the term Tiki today is still represented by this totem, but is more of a decorative culture than a sacred idol. Most people will think of Hawaiian or Maori patterns.
There are many designs possible for a Tiki, so when I started thinking of how to do this template, I wanted the end result to be very custom, so that very few will be alike. The model is made up of blocks & smaller parts to add features, so you basically decide how you want the Tiki to look then build into a totem form.
The above image is my own Hand drawn design, however, I made the mistake of building the Tiki 1st then drawing the designs. That's my own fault for being too eager. Patience is required for this & all paper models. I will attempt another one soon, but I think i'll do a digital custom next time. My understanding of this process is geting better.
One thing I will add about this Paper Toy. Although it is named Tiki, and has parts aimed at achieving the best shape for this. I have added a set of Wings & a Beak to the template. So, with the right collection of parts & designs, a Native American Totem can be achieved. I do plan to add more extra's for this later on.
Any parts you design yourself in template form, that you would like to share with everyone. Use the
