Hints and tips?For folding, The best advice is to always fold as cleanly as possible, and take your time. Everything else comes with experience.https://origami.me/beginners-guide/https://origamiusa.org/glossaryWhat are ‘CPs’?Crease patterns are a structural representations of origami models, shown as a schematic of lines; they are essentially origami models unfolded and laid flat. Lines on a crease pattern may be indicated by ‘mountain’ or ‘valley’ folds to show how the folds alternate. If you’re particularly skilled at origami, they become useful instructions for building models. A common base fold is usually discernable, all the intermediate details can be worked on from there.https://blog.giladnaor.com/2008/08/folding-from-crease-patterns.htmlhttp://www.origamiaustria.at/articles.php?lang=2#a4
What is your favourite thing to make?
>>623792Don't have a picture but frogs that can jump. Learned it from a friend of the family when I was a kid and practiced until I could do it by heart. Easy as hell to make, can be made with a post-it note and kids go crazy for them.
>>623792I like to make paper ships out of candy wrappers so I can let them swim on top of the water I put in bowls after use to wash them more easily.I also like to make them on the go, although I throw those away more quickly without giving them a chance to swim. I used to try to let paper ships swim in open water as a kid, back when I was really oblivious to the environment lol. I think a remote controlled model boat would be cool... I wish I lived closer to the sea so I could board real boats...
boxes with decorative lids. i love practical origami. i make lots of envelopes and boxes, and sometimes wish i had friends just to wrap up their gifts in a cute origami container
>>623792paper ostriches; it was an inside joke for my friend group in high school. I don't talk to any of them anymore, but I do miss them a lot, and whenever I think of them in my spare time, I make one
Onions nuevo acá, que me recomiendan hacer?
I saw this stop motion animation on YT the other day. Any information you guys have about stop motion or anything related to it would be kind of useful. So I thought I'd start a general discussion here. Share my first attempt at trying to make a stop motion animationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZET06TEYEk
Okay, so I've never tried stop motion before, and I've never done anything with animation either, so I thought I would try something simple. When I've done it, I'll probably upload it to YouTube, but I'll keep you guys updated here.I'm just going to try to keep it very simple, just some cut out fish swimming.I'll probably end up doing something a little bit more complicated when I've finished this if it all goes well.
Okay, so here it is. It's kind of crappy, but I'm going to try to do something a bit more complicated tomorrow.https://youtube.com/shorts/g7vv7l6XtN4?si=KDHe9ckKMO1KWDXG
Post girls und panzer paper craft and related! I have been looking for the full Papercraft any help is appreciated
Do you have any tank origami guides or other papercraft materials?
>>627575Hey dude I did a quick search for it and I couldn't find it. The only solution I can come up with is just use an image upscaler. Here's a quick one I just did.

I found an old 'booklet' of origami paper and it has a really nice silver/gold foil 15x15cm sheet in it. What should I make with it? I'll post in this thread once I do :)
What type of sticker paper is best for making stickers that stand against weather like heavy rain or snow?I bought some vinyl sticker paper and put a sticker on my friends car to test it out. We had some heavy snow and the sticker got a bit muddied. I need something that will really last. I'm not sure if there's different types of vinyl paper or if it's brand dependent? I used to use glossy paper and my friend said her sticker I gave her immediately faded in the sun.
For each date that I go on, I would like to give my date something that I have folded myself. My first date is the 7th and I will be gifting a crane then.Do you guys have any more suggestions? Traditional is preferred, but contemporary or from something (like an anime or video game since she really likes those) is also welcome. My origami skills need honing, though, since I took a several year long break, so simpler origami is preferred for the time being.Thank you for your help.
>>628686I'm not an origamist but happen to be a woman, and I wanted to say this is really sweet and I would personally love it.
>>628686Is she into Star Wars?this Yoda isn't hard to fold and looks really great with the right colors:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9FlfYSLY6g>>628709Don't straight up fold the wings like that, pull them apart to make them slightly curved and make the "body" 3d
>>628712Thank you. I am just glad that she never lurks this board, since I said it was a surprise.>>628713At risk of doxxing each other. She goes to to a Disney Park a fair bit and has ties to another major park. Reminds me of some of the Michael LaFoss guides. Might need to lurk for those.The crane suggestions nshould be put right easily. Thank you.
>>628686Doing it on the first date and every date seems a bit excessive and weird. Second date would be my vote
I suggest asking what things she likes. I gave my gf this horse because she said it was her favorite animal. >>628717Agree with this anon that one for each date seems a bit excessive desu.
Bro that's actually so sick
>>628605I know a way but it's too late for that now.You can cover the paper with white, transparent packing tape, but you have to do it when it's still flat. Gives it a nice shiny finish, and makes it stronger too.I use the same technique on foam to build RC planes from papercraft templates.Anyways, nice build!
Have you thought of airbrushing some transparent coat in it?
Just spraying a clearcoat can cause fuzziness, transparency staining, warping, and collapse.Paint the entire model with PVA glue/Elmers/Aiileens/white paper glue, slowly a portion at a time drying being sessions.When fully coated and dry, spray with an acrylic clear coat, it bonds with PVA and creates a glossy, slightly moisture repellent, dustable surface.Best advice: take all recommendations ITT and test them on scraps of paper to learn what works.
>>628605fuck me i thought this was /pol/
I had a question but none of the existing threads are really too relevant so I thought making a general help thread from the get-go (beyond what’s in the welcome thread) would be good so even if my question gets answered the thread can be used for other people’s questionsI’m making a papercraft where I want to paint part of it gold for some extra pop, but I want neat and clean lines. I’ve seen a lot of artists use washi tape to do this in their art and I want something similar, but I have inkjet prints and don’t want any of the ink to lift up. Any tape recommendations? Or possibly other techniques? I’ve done some googling but I don’t wanna take my chances with buying a ton of tape just to test it.
>>610550I'm stuck on step 13 of Robert Lang's crab from "Origami Zoo". Pic related.I also don't know how that fucking triangle in the middle exists suddenly. It makes no sense whatsoever.
>>619959Never mind, I figured it out. I think he left out an important part of these steps. The triangle in the middle was the key for what I was doing wrong. I KNEW I had done everything correct up to this point, so it was just about figuring out what I missed.
some sites you use to find templates? im a begginer
>>621939Usually i'm looking fot it at PaperZoneVN, but sometimes at Youtube, Pinterest, yeah cuz i'll take anything free
IS PAPERZONEVN DOWN FOR ANYONE ELSE AS WELL... I DON'T WANNA LOOSE YOU BABYYYY I NEED TO MAKE CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Please help me with the diagram of this maneki neko
>>628700https://jonakashima.com.br/2018/11/07/maneki-neko/
Thanks. But I don’t think this is the diagram I looking for. The hand in the image is longer and the head look more like the version of money bill cat.
what do i do now? should i just kms or get a canon printer?
can you print canon papercraft stuff on public printers? You can, right? If so, why not just send it off there? If someone asks what you're printing for so long, just show them that. Or go to an art store, they'll probably have the paper and color dialed in for you and your peepeecraft.
>>628517no, you need to physically have a canon printer and use the software in order to download. not sure if there's a bypass or i will just have to pony up the case to get a dogshit one in order to get the prints from their creative park website...
>>628507Why not both?
>>628528If you have a canon printer can you download pdf or do you have to print it on that canon printer?
>>628507Yeah, that really sucks. But you can find very good stuff from paperzonevn.com (even canon's creations) or only-paper.ru. Don't worry, with a bit of dedication, you will outclass the beginner's models from canon creativepark.

I went over chibihammer from different sources, but haven't found any infantry (kavbalites, whyches, incubi, etc.). By any chance, somebody have them?
