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

>>627607
sorry for the lack of infos :
I asked ChatGPT to do like pic related but with some modern french vehicles like the VBCI. A full template i could cut/fold/glue. The AI said it did a full 3d model and was ready to send me a PDF but every attempt failed. Still don't know if GPT really worked my shit...
And so i was wondering if there was some (free if possible) website or software where you feed it some pictures and it did the 3D model and template to build.
Also looking if the AI solution is dead in the water, if there's a huge repository of french military vehicles ready to download (for free again cause poorfag) and build
Hope that it can help clarify my problem

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

squash that point where the black arrow is pointing down until it's flat like an octagon. then look at the origami from the side and follow those tiny mountain and valley folds
>>
>>622823
very helpful

It's an open squash fold. Open up the point and shape the paper to look like 91(all the creases are there, you just need to make them mountain folds), Then stretch the paper a little down to flatten it, used the creases in 93. It's a pretty standard move but difficult because of all the layers.

There's plenty if you know where to look. Especially on DriveThruRPG, where terrain is often free or "pay what you want".
This one is one of my favorites.

These are a bunch of David Graham models, some are free, some are simply cheap. They sometimes come with alternate roofs, like the thatched cottage also coming with a red tiled roof file. And there's often those boxes as filler, which I appreciate.

I hate these things, but try closing the head on the lateral, then place the spiky flaps inside the head so they dont get stuck. Put glue on the bottom of the top of the head and with a pencil attach the rectangle flaps, if the spiky flags poke trhu corners you can push them in with a needle set them in place and from the inside with that very same needle glue it. The bottom of the head is similar, i got tired of fucking this up and just made a pear teto you should do that instead.

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.

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.
