Papercraft?

Lately, I've been going back to one of my older hobbies, Papercraft! Papercraft is, usually, where you cut and fold flat "nets" (the proper geometric term) finally gluing the tabs to their corresponding edges. The more complex the shape, the harder it can be to close. Also, papercrafts with more parts can sometimes be easier to do then those with less parts, because with more parts, you can have much simpler shapes. 

Now, because paper and even card stock are somewhat flimsy materials, you might think papercrafts are quite delicate, and you're not entirely wrong. However, there are ways of strengthening papercrafts to make them almost as sturdy as plastic miniatures! Without going into detail, I've heard EVA foam works well, but I like cardboard because of its inexpensive and surprisingly strong structure.

There are TONS of papercrafts, ranging from Minecraft models to paper versions of Warhammer 40K miniatures, so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding one that suits your hobby!

 

Thanks for reading and remember, it's Papercraft, not Paper Craft!

Lately...

I've been constantly building a bunch of little LEGO robots for Mobile Frame Zero: Rapid Attack! It has become kind of a zen thing for me, building when I'm bored, exhausted or just any time it seems good! At this time I've nearly completed a faction for myself and one for my friend as well. With the summer officially started for me, I think it might be the "Summer of MFZ" for me, if I can sneak a few games in over my very busy summer! Here's to hoping Summer 2015 is a summer filled with games, barbecues, swimming and whatever else you'll be doing!

The MFZ:RA "Punishment" frame I built for the Ijad (a game faction). (Name subject to change)
