Title: Papercraft I've Designed
Post by: gentle_dissident on March 17, 2016, 04:03:30 PM
I grew up hand drawing papercraft. Here are some CGI efforts.

I have this on RPG Now.

Here are some pieces made for a gaming papercraft group.

Are those taped, glued, or just folded together?

I use Elmer's white glue.

Thanks for the comments, all.

Here's the sheet for the rocket. I'll see if I can find a bigger pic when I get back from work.

Elmer's is difficult to work with. Good job.

Honestly, I would rather eat Elmer's than use it for anything.

I made my own glue laminated beams for my ceiling using Elmer's Carpenter's Glue (the tan colored stuff).  3 gallons of the stuff.  It holds shit together.  the beams are still there after 30 years, too.

Yeah. It's not really the brand, but the white glue they made us use in school. It always ruined construction paper.

That was probably school glue. I use Elmer's Glue-All. However, back when I was building things from construction paper, I used tape.

I designed the rocket papercraft from my vector art that can be seen on the page. I'm guessing the shorter fins were a last minute conservation of time and space maneuver.

I couldn't find a bigger pic o the ship model. Here's the tank model. There are more pics in the folder.

This is not my police box design. I filled the inside with light and sound. The light is from a dollar toy. The sound box is for a stuffed animal. It's all installed with bamboo, tin foil, card stock, and electrical tape.

If anyone wants help getting started, let me know the theme of a papercraft you'd like to build, and I'll search my archives that I made in case someone breaks the internet to find you an easy start.
