You're doing good OP. It's better than my first one.

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 questions

I’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.

I'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.
>>
>>619959
Never 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.

A: Yes

Ok I don't really know how to read this, it's obvious the paper doesn't have 8 corners but I can't tell when the second piece of paper come in, and what folds are done on what sheet of paper.
Any help explaining how to fold this thing? It's a cute gift for a friend.

See the scissor symbol on top of step 14?
It means you have to cut both points along the middle line, drawn in bold (but not very visible on this low-res image; in blue on pic related). Then, fold both top-half of these points as indicated.
Next, on step 15, fold both bottom-half of the points, and you have your 4 legs.

I'm no longer on Windows so I can't test, but can you run Pepakura with something like Locale-Emulator to fix the mojibake? Or just use the Check Corresponding Face tool.

REQUEST: Side-by-side classic shotgun

Are there any good weapon paper model makers that would either have a plan already made, links to some, or any help to making one?

I've been trying to find one for Quite A While now and have been attemptin to create One by first modeling it out etc. but hit a "bit" of a setback with my computer frying up completely during a thunderstorm.

Looking Now for the classic type of shotgun. Attempting to acquire the level of detail and possible function that are akin to the "Paper Manufacturing" brands level of quality.

Search no more mi friend, i started with this book (Im still finishing/reading it) and i consider it a good start:
https://ia803201.us.archive.org/1/items/genuine-origami-jun-maekawa-2008/Genuine%20Origami%20%20%5BJun%20Maekawa%5D%20%5B2008%5D.pdf

this so much.

>>627309
I didn't have good experience with this book. The theory is nice, teaching techniques and essential ideas in progressively more complex models.
But a lot of the models, in my experience, even simpler ones can be too disappointing/challenging. I mean this book is supposedly written for beginners.
I just checked gilad page, reviewing from memory:
1. squirrel - the example photo and the one in diagram is different, so your result won't look the same as Jun Maekawa's
2. box - "locks" and bullshit don't work. I honestly have no idea how to make this properly without glue
3. spiral shell - good luck making everything aligned
4. giraffe - I really dislike this one, dunno, the fact you fold the back and hide it behind really annoys me
5. helmet - good luck making this stand, even gilad couldn't do it, fuck this model seriously
I think I dropped the book a few models after this. I kept hitting problems that I blame on subpar models.
I decided just to fold stuffs I find interesting from /po/. Not following Maekawa's curriculum. I'm much happier now. I just don't think the book is good recommendation for beginners.

John Montroll's Teach Yourself Origami's first half has all of the essential models they used to teach in schools.

Try to follow this plan to become a successful folder . 1 .Sonobe .2 . Kusudama .3 tessellation .These are good because very repetitive folds practice makes foolproof and you can use glue for assembly
Then 4 .Beetle . 5 .Fish . 6 .Spider .7 scorpion
8 . Butterfly two colours .
9 .Bee two colours
Then try some simple characters .
After that you should be familiar enough with diagrams and precrease to attempt more complex models such as birds dragons .

I got this picture of a few pins badges representing animals, possibly origami models (that's probably the intended effect).
Any of you know if they are origami models and not just polygon-shaped animals?
And if they are origami, any idea of who the creators are?
>>
I don't recognize those, I suspect they're just meant to look like origami without being based on real designs.

That said, the koala looks a bit like Gen Hagiwara's and the fox reminds me of one by Hoang Tien Quyet

Thanks for your answer. I'll try to find pictures of those two models you talked about.

>>627289
Prints of this size are limited by dimentions of print area. While ppl do print lifesize figurines they have to turn model into large number of parts and fit them together post print. While I can't deny difference in methods might seem silly, building doll by gluing plastic bricks together doesn't do it for me.
>>627299
If you mean cardboard assembly I worked on I paper doll thread I had only partial succes as I have not included any marking on parts which made fitting it together more or less guess work. Pepakura can be forced to work with model set of parts clipping throuhg one another at 90° angles but doesn't provide any way to mark where and how those parts intersect.

This stuff(pic related) is my most used as far anything that requires any larger paper with colors. It arrives perfectly square and it's cheap. There is better paper I've used, but it's usually for special models. I think my favorite so far is shadowfold. It's thin and easy to use.

it's strong, thin, keeps it's shape and it's dead cheap.

I've always admired people who can do these things. It's impressive dexterity and a performance just watching it and the results can be so beautiful and tacticle too. Crazy the talent I can see browsing this board. Making me consider trying it so it's interesting to see what papers people are using.
