Dwarf Papertoy!
« on: August 14, 2010, 06:22:22 am »

Dwarf Papertoy - amazing dwarven technology!



I find these things really awesome, and I think this dwarf/viking (viking dwarf? Who knows) one is really good. Unfortunately, I messed up and used paper (silly me). I would assume the best thing to do would be to cut out the parts, then glue them onto cardboard or something. Anyway, it looks good in the end, and is pretty fun.

Seriously though, if your using paper it gets pretty tedious. I would suspect cardboard would work, but I'm not sure about that one.

Construction paper, probably, as illustration board and box-card are far too unwieldy. You'd end up with a very strange-looking dwarf.

I see - I've never heard of construction paper. What is it, like hard paper?

It's textured, tough paper, unrefined. I'd recommend it for its hardness, but since it doesn't usually come in white and is hard to print on, probably not for a project like this.

(no i do not engage in such an unmanly activity as making construction paper snowflakes why do you ask)

Construction paper snowflakes actually sounds pretty cool.

They are, and pretty simple.



It's entirely possible to just fold up a piece of paper and just cut it in -random places, but sometimes you have to plan it out. They make for fun christmas decorations. Or if you're bored and have paper and scissors.

Neat, I'll have to try something like that once I can get my hands on some construction paper.
