    Don't think it's been posted yet, found this whilst looking for Klonoa instructions.

    Paper And Glue, other games. Plenty of other models on the rest of the site, but this page is prolly the most interesting for many.

    Man I'm still wrestling with Howl's Moving Castle... god I'm lazy.

    That looks really cool though... there are people out there way better at matching up edges than I am.

    I once made a d20 that was about the size of a basketball out of index cards. I had a lot of time on my hands at that point.

    So I've been doing a few papercraft projects and just recently came to the realization that this hobby is murder on my ink supply.

    Should I be going to a print shop to print this stuff out or should I just keep on using my home printer, which is of dubious quality? I'm not sure what's more expensive in the long run, what with $30 ink cartridges having to be replaced so often.

    Maybe you can get your cartridges refilled? I got a few colours refilled for 5€/ea, although they don't always work, apparently. :?

    I have never attempted one of these... I have some free time Thursday and have just discovered how I am going to fill it!

    Now, for when I'm a bit more daring, has anyone come across any Shadow of the Colossus Papercraft? They're quite bulky so it'd likely work!

    The only thing I've seen is the face of the first colossus which I can offer if you want.

    For beginners, there's the handy shovable box, while more advanced modelers can build representations of Jorda, Ico, and a couch for them to sit and save their game on.

    /po/ is my favorite board. I've gotten so much good stuff from it.

    As a matter of fact, I will put up some awesome stuff right now.

    Not too hard, but using normal printer paper is terrible for this kind of stuff. Go get some nice thick cardstock.

    kind of hard since the Advance War models are hand drawn and the parts don't always fit well.

    We attempted to make one of these at work. WORD OF WARNING: we blew everything up 300% because the tabs were tiny and making it huge would be awesome.

    We (2 of us) spent a full 8 hour shift working on it. We only got a visor, and 1 hand done, the helmet we started. Thats when we got fed up. But the next day in a 5 hour shift we made the assault rifle. Took pretty much the whole shift though.

    It is EXTREMELY fiddly, and difficult.

    The cube is pretty simple, you should be able to figure it out.

    A lot of papercraft is made in the japanese A4 paper size, but you can scale it when you print to fit letter size. As long as the whole thing scales equally, it will still fit together right.
