This is fucking awesome!

I assume you used screenshots as basis, or did you trace it free-hand?

There is no free way, the creator or designer does not share them, only distributes free models in image format or pdf.

To make this type of models must have a little experience.

My parents gave me an origami book when I was 4 or something like that. I don't remember well.

>>528309
always loved origami, my dream job is to an architect and I love to build models. and even though i couldnt buy those fancy kits papercraft was a much cheaper alternative, so it stuck with me :)

>>528309
Bought a book at barnes and noble for $10. Had basic diagrams and some paper to start with.
I use it to clear my head, and it helps with my anxiety. I've read there are therapy groups that use it in their sessions.
I've also found that people like stuff you give them, and its a fairly inexpensive hobby.

Sure

>>530919
Yeah cool, I don't see what's wrong with that.

>>530919
no

it's honestly not bad. If you are looking to honestly make it better, along the neck up to the beak some layers are showing that you could hide. Also mostly paper choice, it looks like a rigid looking paper, something wet folded or foil backed could give the fold more life, or better color would also help. The fold itself really aint bad though.

What size paper did you use?

>>530511
it is from tissue foil (60x60cm)

>but would you like to go to that winter ball with /pol/?

Yes

To answer the question in your title:

1. Grow up
2. Realize it's a shitty idea
3. Don't do it

Can't post the pic but some faggot started spamming the same thread over and over again. Then /sp/ joined, forcing out the legit threads. Then after some hours of reporting some mod showed up and with it technically deleted 80% of /po/.

Here are the different SM chapters.

Necrons coming up.

I probaly have everything saved from the thread.

- Which cutting tool should I use?
Depends on preference. There are basically 3 types: boxcutter knives, scalpel-like knives (x-acto and similar) and scissors. From what I've seen, the x-acto type is by far the most used.

- Which X-Acto knife should I use?
Again, depends on preference. If you check
http://www.xacto.com/Xacto/downloads/X-ACTO_KNIFE_BLADE_MATRIX.pdf
You will see that there are many types of handles and blades. Basically, steel handles are heavier and sturdier than aluminum ones. There are also ergonomic handles and straight handles.

- Which X-Acto blade should I use? (this is my own question. I'm answering it based on what I've seen, but correct me if I'm wrong).
Depends on the type of work you are doing, but for papercraft it is generally the #11 (therefore, using handle type A) or #2 (handle type B). Check compatibility of handles and blades in
http://www.xacto.com/Xacto/downloads/X-ACTO_KNIFE_BLADE_MATRIX.pdf
I'm not sure on the difference of the blades themselves (#11 and #2), but from what I've seen, a type A handle can be used with blades directed at general works and papercrafts, while the type B is used for woodcrafting.

- What about cutting mats?
Cutting mats are surfaces upon you cut the paper. It is used to protect the blade (so it won't dull as fast) and the table (so it won't be all cut). You can make your own cutting mat with sheets of used paper, like this anon:
>>496433
>When ever I had an extra sheet of paper I glued it to my stack. It is nice to not destroy a green mat with aggressive cuts. I can also edge my pieces with marker and glue on the surface without more ruination. Just glue another sheet over the surface.

You can also buy a self-healing cutting mat, which is a polymer surface that "heals" after every cut. Despite what the anon above said, they can usually last for decades. Good brands are (need input)

Continuing in my next post

- How should I apply the glue?
However fits your boat. I've seen people use toothpicks, small pencils and even cut icecream sticks, like in >>497550

- What about handling the models before printing?
Someone should fill this in in regards to pepakura. For now, I will use the info from the papercraft museum:
>Once you download the file, you will need to open the following files with a different program which are all free to download:
>.pdf files are opened with Adobe Reader 9
>.pdo files are opened with Pepakura Viewer
>.zip and .rar files are opened with WinRAR.
>If a .pdo file asks you for a password, it usually means you have downloaded Pepakura Designer and not Pepakura Viewer, so make sure to get the viewer instead.

Not a question, but I'm using this space for information already gathered on current threads:

- Tons of useful links for papercrafting (answers the tons of questions about "where can I find some general models/beginner crafts")
>>497705 (can't repost, duplicate file)

Which I should highlight the following:
The /po/ archive: http://papercraft.wikidot.com/
Beginner and advanced tutorial: http://www.papercraftmuseum.com/

There are also some anons beginning to gather collections of papercraft:
>>497164
someone's small collection: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:2BD67312CB3A534CB676EBC7091D1363A4EFAD71&dn=po.rar&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3a80%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.publicbt.com%3a80%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.ccc.de%3a80%2fannounce

- "I have this image of a completed papercraft, how can I find the model for it?"
You can ask the board in a new thread - /po/ is known to be helpful. However, please use reverse image searches (http://www.google.com/imghp or http://www.tineye.com/) before doing that. If you do find a model and think it's difficult enough that there might be some questions as to where to get it, post it for us!

>>498338
>small pencils

fuck, I meant paintbrush

Well, that's all I have for now. I'm not actually doing any papercraft, this information is either gathered from the threads and from the research I'm doing so I can start making my stuff.

Any input is welcome.

Please contribute!

Let's make a new one.

yes, i'm joining in this thread

Is it allowed by the rules to post a link to the previous thread (a copy of it from an archiving site) so that newcomers can easily enjoy the shared books?
