Papercraft

This morning I was bored and stumbling around the internets when I came across this funny YouTube video from fortaxreasons.



I've looked at papercraft stuff before but that video inspired me to make some armor of my own. I perused some examples of some of the finest on papercraft world and while very impressed - decided that I should start small, with something a little more inside my skill set. I finally settled on the uber-cute bulldozer available at paperboxworld.

After a brief foray into the land of unsuccessful printer networking, my housemate went ahead and printed from his machine and I got to work. 30 or so minutes later I am the proud owner of a paper bulldozer d00d.


He's not perfect, and I had to use tape in the place of the recommended glue but mission accomplished anyway.

I'm not sure if I'm ready to tangle with a more complex pattern but I'll check out the glue selection next time I'm at the store just in case.
