So here's the big question: What's Papercraft?

I looked at the sites, all looks neat and such. But what can we actually use it for?

Wow now that's cool. You can actually print those out and assemble them into paper models?

its pretty cool actually!
fred, do you still have a link to the program that maps out your model to a paper model sheet?
would it be possible to make any of the SWBF2 models into paper models, id love an arc or eta-2

it was in the modding section. But it's a trial and it has poly limitations. Maybe there is another programme

So what you're saying is that we can just use it to get paper...? isn't that the same as building the models in clay? But here it's just for Paper for showoff That reminds me of that japanese paper-folding thing they've always made.

and I personally use a pencil to draw with

P.S. what does 'self-evident' mean...?

I think self-evident is pretty self-evident

Wow! Looks cool, but not for me.

Lol, that's pretty much what self-evident means Qdin.

*looks at Qdin and smaks forehead* >_<

I see....

I've NEVER heard the word before

Fred told me in an easier sentence than Penguins': "Self-evident is self-explanary"

lol

Odd word...

Oh, well - how would I know anyways?

And Karnage, you seem pretty bored...?

Fred also told me more about this 'papercraft' thing... Even though it's not sometihng I'd spend my time with

yeah i was lookin at the one site and im thinkin about takin a crack at the at-st, it looked really good finished, i just need some glue...

Ya it does look pretty nice. I've started making a blue ARC trooper and it's coming along pretty nicely except that its so small! I keep on slicing off tabs and then I have to re-print the sheet.

EDIT: I recommend a Uhu-Stick for glue (or any glue stick) and get some toothpicks as well. They are perfect for applying glue. Take a thinlayer of the top with the toothpick and apply. You'll thank me later. Exactoknifes are easier for cutting as well.

ANOTHER EDIT:

Penguin wrote:I think self-evident is pretty self-evident.

Aren't you helpful Penguin....

So this is like origami, but you can glue and cut stuff? Meh I make enough junk at art-class, but I'll give it a try when I've got time. I think I'll start by making a Wii and Wiimote, and stare endlessly at the tv with the paper Wiimote in my hand untill I get a real one

kinda off topic but id rather buy a super high end PC over those over priced consoles.

yep - that IS offtopic

But I can't decide... considering what some of them can do compared to a PC, they cost nothing like if you tried to assemble one with the same stuffs by yourself... o.o

I remember when I was a small(er ) kiddo. me and my friend used to paint Warhammer stuffs Was good enough. Good to waste some time with I guess it's the same as this Papercraft? Glue and time (except for paint... or what? maybe you prefer to paint them yourself?)
