Is Star Trek origami a good place to start? Looks fun and there are books on it

https://www.giladorigami.com/origami-star-trek
>>
As a beginner, any topic you like is good as long as there are good ressources.
Before purchasing books, you'd better look for free diagrams and videos (youtube has a lot of these) to begin with.
For example,
https://origami-resource-center.com/star-trek-origami
give links to many diagrams.

Why did Mc Donalds get rid of Mac Tonight anyways? He was still successful when they stopped using him.

>>627679
There was a lawsuit around the time they felt the ad campaign was losing steam so they decided to end the campaign instead of dealing with the lawsuit. They've brought him back a couple times since then but the Moon Man meme has effectively killed the chances of a proper revival in the near future.

Recently got back into Quake with the release of Quake II remastered, and came across some photos of this model online-I thought I used to have a copy of it, but can't find it-I can only find the similar Ninjatoes version.

Does anyone have a copy of this model they could scan and preserve for the future? It is pretty old; from 1997! I've been searching for it for awhile with no luck.

Some time ago, several users contributed various NOA magazines to a publicly shared folder. This is a reminder that everyone can access and contribute to this folder to keep it up to date and ensure all magazines are accessible to everyone.

Currently, we have most of the magazines, except for the latest issues and newsletters. Please refer to the index file to see the list of currently shared magazines.

You can access the shared drive using this link:

Please note that the folder has read-only permissions because many items were accidentally deleted several months ago. If you have any missing magazines to contribute, please upload them to this post, and I will update the shared folder accordingly.

Thank you all for your contributions!

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.

A few things I've noticed about trimming the edges of stacks with a boxcutter and metal ruler:
-keep as sharp as possible, break off a blade, or install a new one
-hold the blade at a shallow angle, making many passes with limited force. make sure enough of the blade is exposed (slid out) to accommodate your shallow cutting angle
-don't remove too small an amount. If the material being cut away is less and 1/8" wide, it is more likely to buckle and foul the cut
-if the cut material shifts at all, keep your ruler hand in place and remove cut material with your knife hand. Don't be tempted to simply slice through material that has moved into the cut, it'll often foul it up.
-last thing is to pay attention to the tilt of the blade. of course, you're aiming for the cut surface to be vertical, but it can be easy to lose track of the tilt during deeper cuts. The force you use to keep the blade against the ruler can have a tendency to bend or tilt the blade if you're not focused

I've had some excellent Olfa boxcutters for years for modelmaking, etc. (about 20$ for a pack of 50 refill blades that last me ages) I wouldn't attempt anything fine with a bog-standard cutter.

Well screw me for not paying attention before and knowing this thread was here. Of course it would be. I've picked up bookbinding for the past year and tried a bunch of stuff already.
Anyway, I'm thinking of starting my project of a Jurassic Park rebind and I came up with this kind of cover. I'd fit in the amber which I bought for it.

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.

Fuck it, my curiosity has won in the end after seeing this board be here for years.

How can I start off doing origami as a beginner with no previous experience aside from making paper airplanes? (If that counts)

Try Jo Nakashima's channel, he has a variety of easy to insane folds. Also he has the steps diagramed on the screen while he's folding so you can get a feel for what the symbols mean.

easiest way is to just get any paper you have on hand and cut it into a square (look up how) then follow a tutorial on youtube.

Thanks so much for the kind words, anon. Admittedly, my life's still on hold for the time being, but at risk of turning this into a blog post, I'll just leave it as "we'll see how things end up". I'll say that it is nice to be able to fold things that aren't cranes again. To keep things on topic, I keep a set of paper at work that I usually fold with when I'm bored. It isn't the easiest paper to work with, but here's a horse I attempted today.
I will say that I hope someone picks up the journey sometimes soon. I know threads aren't at huge risk of dying here, but I'd be lying if I said that I'd be ok letting this thread die out.
As a side not, I guess some of my images got deleted? Not really sure about that one but alright
>the front legs on the horse
Yes, I fixed those after I took the photo
>>625740
I think that, if it really is something you want to do, you should still pursue it. Cranes are very simple to fold, so you can really use whatever paper you find to fold them with. One ream of A4 can easily be cut down into 2000 squares if you want some easily accessible paper. There is also something special about origami made from found paper, so you could also get creative with were you get your sheets from if you're short on money. I guess what I'm saying is don't let it get to you too much. I've never liked the whole "it's not about the destination" outlook, but I'd hate to see you quit the journey over this. It is a very cool thing to dedicate yourself to that few people rarely try
>>

Belated congratulations on your cranes!
