"Here?" Gao Jingfei asked with some curiosity.

Guo Shihu proudly said:

"How? It's a nice place, isn't it? This place is called Tsing Yi Lane, in fact, it is an antique building modeled in the 90s, which was introduced to me by the senior I met in the club, it is very low-key here, and the general local people are not known to people in the circle. ”

As he walked, he introduced Gao Jingfei and said:

"Don't look just antique, but it's more flavorful than the side of Chenghuangmiao Street, and the shops on this street have their own characteristics, and the natural paper and bamboo tendon materials we are looking for are not easy to find outside for a while, and we are going to land here today."

Gao Jingkun naturally only nodded, and he didn't know what to say to describe it, because looking at the dazzling shops and windows on both sides of the alley, his eyes were a little insufficient.

Under the leadership of Guo Shihu's familiarity, the two soon came to a store specializing in the four treasures of the study, and watched the clerk or guy dressed in a small hat in Tsing Yi receive him, every word was the same as the vernacular in the small talk book, Gao Jingfei had the illusion of traveling through time and space.

After Guo Shihu talked to the guy for a few words, he saw the guy shaking his head helplessly.

Guo Shihu could only say goodbye and pull Gao Jingfei out of the store.

Out of this antique shop, Gao Jingfei asked:

"Brother Hu, why don't you have paper to sell here?"

郭世鹄 says:

"Yes, yes, but it's all rice paper for calligraphy and painting, and I feel a little too fragile to be a paper figure."

In fact, although rice paper is used to make paper figures, it can also be refined, but since Guo Shihu is more demanding, Gao Jingfei, who is not familiar with this place, can only listen to it.

Fortunately, Guo Shihu soon found a substitute for paper, in a shop that sells antique artworks such as paper kites, lanterns, folding fans and oil-paper umbrellas.

And because these things are all bamboo products, this shop sells not only paper but also various bamboo materials.

"Okay, now the paper and bamboo tendons are all ......"

Guo Shihu smiled and asked the clerk to help select some polished bamboo strips of several sizes, as well as the tough white bamboo paper and mulberry paper specially made in their store for pasting paper kites, because kites need to withstand the wind, and this store focuses on handmade natural ancient methods of making signs, so these bamboo paper and mulberry paper are stronger and tougher than ordinary paper, which is an excellent material for making paper people.

Then Guo Shihu bought some pigments and other miscellaneous items, all of which were antique goods with natural ingredients.

Gao Jingfei was also very happy that this trip was worthwhile, but this trip cost thousands of yuan, so that he didn't know how to talk to Guo Shihu, looking at his embarrassed appearance, Guo Shihu waved his hand and said:

"Don't care about this little money, if you become a psychic paper figure, just give me two to play with."

The paper figure is not something that can be used when it is done, and it takes effort to sacrifice and practice it to take shape.

Gao Jingfei didn't bother with this problem, and the two of them excitedly took a bunch of materials and called a car back to the police dormitory.

When he arrived at the apartment, Gao Jingfei saw what it means to be an artist and a handicraft expert, and saw that Mr. Guo Shihu had typed a pencil draft on the drawing paper, and had a specific image structure in his heart, and then he was familiar with some bamboo strips of different thicknesses and began to compile them quickly.

Just like the old man he saw in the village, Guo Shihu's technique was more exquisite, and in less than half an hour, a humanoid frame composed of bamboo skeleton grids was already presented in front of Gao Jingfei's eyes.

Gao Jingfei exclaimed:

"Brother Hu, your craft, tsk, even if you go to the flyover to sell your art, you can support the family!"

Regarding Gao Jingfei's inappropriate description, Guo Shihu gave this kid a roll of his eyes, but he understood that this kid was praising him, so he himself was very proud.

This is the only thing that does not criticize his playthings for being demoralized, but praises his own existence, except for those who share the same hobbies in the school and clubs.

After all, in the eyes of his parents and eldest brother, his craft is not a serious business.

Guo Shihu couldn't help but sigh in this regard, the eldest brother is better, after all, the concept of youth is different, but his parents are from a scholarly family of intellectuals, and they have always regarded the two-dimensional industry of figure model manufacturing as an improper plaything.

He didn't want to give up his graduate studies and the good future of the architecture department of Jinling University, and wanted to open his own model studio, and almost fell out, which is also the biggest reason why he left home to hide.

Therefore, he was still very pleased with Gao Jingfei's praise.

The skeleton has been built, and the bamboo figure has all four limbs and facial features at this time, and even the outline of the clothes and armor can be seen, and the armor Guo Shihu is also specially made into a detachable version, only the color of the paper skin is a real paper figure.

Next, Guo Shihu's clever paper began to be cut, and then it was pasted on the skeleton with natural glutinous rice glue, thin but strong white bamboo paper for the inside and skin, and thicker and tougher mulberry paper for armor and coat.

Even the coloring is made of natural dyes bought in the shop in Tsing Yi Lane, and the skin texture even brings out the chest muscles and abdominal muscles.

After that, Guo Shihu also carefully pasted gold foil on the armor, this is real gold foil, not the kind of fake gold and silver ingots that are burned to the ancestors made by factories on the market.

In fact, gold leaf is not expensive on average, because the thickness of gold leaf is extremely thin, and one gram of gold can extend a large area, and it is not as expensive to buy a dozen as imagined, and a doll cannot be used up.

When the final gold leaf was finished, what appeared in front of Gao Jingfei was a beautiful doll about 30 centimeters or 12 inches.

Because the most common figure or soldier is the size of 1 to 6, that is, the size of the British 12 inches, Guo Shihu habitually built this paper figure to this size, which is about the same as the one foot height required by Gao Jingfei before.

Seeing this paper figure or paper-tied figure model covered in golden armor, with golden spikes on shoulders, elbows and knees, and two huge golden horns on the helmet, isn't it the image of Taurus Arudiba, one of the twelve golden saints in the Saint Seiya series of comics.

The whole paper figure is simply vivid, as if the characters in the comics have come out.

There are also Saint Seiya comics and animations in this world, Gao Jingfei is still younger, when he was the age of his eldest brother and Guo Shihong and people in their early thirties who were a few years older than them, it was the era of the popularity of Saint Seiya cartoons.

Just like him in the parallel world, people of their age have a very deep impression of this hot-blooded cartoon, far more popular than entertaining and educational cartoons such as Sheriff Black Cat and Smart Ikyu, and there are even local tyrants who spend a lot of money to customize the all-metal Twelve Saints Seiya and other body ornaments in order to relive their childhood dreams, which can no longer be called a figure, but can be said to be a statue!

Gao Jingfei saw it and said with some emotion:

"Brother Hu, I just want a few paper figures to do the experiment, how can you make Arudiba?"

Although this golden bison has always been the bottom of the twelve golden saint seiyas, it still does not affect Gao Jingfei's love for this paper figure.

Guo Shihu said proudly:

"What? Don't like it? If I simply tie a paper figure, how can I show my ability? I'm going to tie a set of twelve golden saint warriors for you, and when the time comes, you will refine a psychic paper figure, wouldn't it be more majestic than an ordinary paper figure? ”

Gao Jingfei was even more excited when he heard this, and he cheered:

"Of course I like it, I like it so much, Brother Hu, you're amazing!"

Then he thought:

"I have the Golden Twelve Saint Seiya, then I will also sacrifice a few paper figures for you, do you also want the Golden Saint Seiya?"

Guo Shihu smiled:

"I'm still not the same as you, and when the time comes, I'll design a few of my favorites from scratch!"

Looking at the way he smiled, he must have a goal in mind.

Gao Jingfei couldn't help but think, could it be that this brother can't get Gundam?
