Basically, choose a papercraft you like! Papercraft is fun but like everything you start it takes time, and by choosing one you like means you'll do your best to actually finish it (making a papercraft you won't finish because it's too hard/time consuming is really no fun at all ;o). There are lots of free papercrafts you can choose and I think that's why most people like to choose a simple paper toy to start with. So most importantly I think is: have fun! ;o)

That was the Imperial Armada replacement for the blue Imperial Soldier one on the left. They had to think of all kinds of "unofficial" adventures (that was long before Pirates of the Caribbean, like they had the Forestman instead of Robin Hood).
I think it was fun to just make your own unofficial adventures instead of remaking official copyrighted movie and game adventures that you can do now, but it's also very fun to remake the movie adventures nowadays! :o)

I ended up making a free papercraft (or two ;o) to share this year for Halloween!

Today I've found out about the latest tanteidan issue. It has steps for the mosquito on the cover, I would love to fold it. A digital release is not available and single issues can't be purchased; to get the magazine I would need to buy a yearly subscription. Moreover shipments from Japan can take up to three months in my experience. If anyone has a copy I would gladly pay for a scan with Paypal, thank you.

Hey guys, first time poster here. So i tried asking ChatGPT to generate me a template out of curiosity. I wasted 2 weeks cause it couldn't export the PDF and some other technical shit. Don't even know if its possible.
Do you guys know a way to generate a template for this vehicle: the VBCI.
I don't have the skill (or money) to do it myself and flatten it with some dedicated software
Didn't find a free template online either btw

ask for a jpg or something. that way you will receive the result and know if it works or not.

Newfag gere so idk if thus will help at all but if u happen to have a 3d file (.obj) you can upload to plushify net and it'll reverse engineer a sewing pattern for you. You can tell it where to place seams and it'll readjust the cutting lines for you.

Seeing this thread has made me remember a model of an origami bat that turns into a human-shaped vampire, which i loved (the one i had made lost its shape and didnt look like bat or man anymore). I lost the name of the model and google didint help. I looked it up today and found it (probably because of the season).

Retard here. What's the best or cleanest way of adhering separate pieces of cardboard/paper/laminated paper when making a card? All I can come up with is crude kindergarten-level stuff like taping the edges and using gluesticks and etc.
>>
>>628224
Gluestick either side and put a book on top to ensure good contact while it dries. If it is a smooth glossy surface that might not work. I think "tacky glue" is one step up from Elmer's kid glue. These wetter glues can cause rough porous paper to deform, so glue stick is better. Tacky glue might work for more durable stuff. Still want to book to ensure good contact and prevent warping from moisture. Also wrap tape into loop to make one sided tape double sided tape.

Suggestions for simple small paper (2x2) models that aren't any more difficult than cranes? My fingers are not so nimble at that size.

Also fuck tuttle's off-square stuff. Can anyone suggest good paper brands? I've had some luck with Kyowa and Toyo, but kissangel was more plastic than foil.

modular origami?
otherwise pinwheel or hats

Do you guys only fold paper cranes and glue Warhammer figures? I've never seen a bookbinding thread here.

Printed and bound House of Leaves. Split it into 2 volumes because I was afraid to work with so many pages at once. Covered with paper-backed vinyl (black) and linen fabric (red), which will probably collect a ton of dust pretty soon.
Couldn't decide how to put the titles on. Should have made a debossed rectangle with a paper label glued inside. But I hoped that hot ink transfer would work. So I made the covers first, then printed the title on ink transfer paper, and found out that pressing a hot iron to the cloth-covered board warps the board due to heat expansion. Tried on small swatches first (picrel). This method won't work.

As I understand it, my current options to put the title are limited to
>linocut transfer
>screening (sponging the ink through a trafaret)
>just print a paper label and glue it on top
Don't have any hot stamping tools to work with foil, nor the desire to purchase these materials.

Opposed to the super manly craft of folding bits of patterned paper?

>>627092
Where the fuck do you live where you can't find other sized paper? I personally buy Indian rag paper from Khadi papers. They have stores in UK. It's very cheap and of high quality.

I can't believe I've been checking /diy/ for a bookbinding thread for over a year now only to learn that it's been on /po/ all this time. I need to use find.4chan.org more often.
