Paper craft models need paper with a certain stiffness. For Paper craft models, we recommend Canon Matte Photo Paper(MP-101). For Origami and Chiyogami, we recommend Canon Super White Paper.

Before you cut out parts from the base sheet, lightly score the mountain folds and valley folds with a dried-up ballpoint pen, or similar.
This will help you to make fold along the lines more cleanly.
|
|
 |
Cut each pattern out individually, leaving a sufficient sized border around the edges.
|
|
 |
Once you have cut out a part, lightly write a number on the back of it, so that you can keep track of which part is which.
|
|
 |
Removing each pattern from the assembly sheets makes it easier to cut out detailed sections.
|
|
 |
Stay on the outer edge of the solid black lines when you are cutting. Then, when you come to assemble the parts, they will fit together nicely.
|
|
 |
When cutting a straight line, don't move the scissors as you cut, but keep them steady and draw the paper towards you.
|
|
 |
Rounded sections are cut best by rotating the paper with your non-dominant hand as you hold the scissors in place with the other. This prevents you from accidentally cutting your fingers.
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
Use a ruler when folding straight sections. For folds shaped like valleys, first place a ruler along a fold line. Then lift the paper up and use your fingertips to smooth out the crease alongside the ruler.
|
|
 |
To make folds that look like mountains, place a ruler next to the edge of a table or desk and set a pattern on top of it. Carefully align the fold with the ruler's edge and bend the paper down.
|
|
 |
To give a part a natural curve, rub it against the corner of a table or similar. This will make gluing easier.
|
|
 |
For cone shaped parts, wind the part around a pencil or similar to give it roundness. Wind it round tighter than it needs to be and then you can adjust the degree of curl later.
|
|
 |
Place glue on the appropriate tabs and use the object to help set the adhesive.
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
For glue, use woodworking adhesive and stick type glue.
We recommend using a non-wrinkle, fast drying glue. If using woodworking adhesive, apply a spot of glue about the size of a coin on to a scrap of paper.
|
|
 |
Then, use a strip of thick paper or cardboard like a spatula to scoop up the adhesive. Be sure to keep the glue on one side of the spatula only.
|
|
 |
Use this strip to evenly smooth out a thin layer of glue onto the glue tabs.
|
|
 |
Hold the parts firmly in place till the glue dries properly.
|
|
 |
Assemble the parts separately and wait until they dry before assembling the whole model!
