PaperCraft Final

Image
  This is what I have so far. The arm and head are posable While I was working on the project I found that magnets are really good to help hold tabs in, as long as you have a way to get them out afterwards. for cutting black paper I printed on white paper then connected with magnets and cut both. Here you can see that the hat can detach like a normal minifigure. I made the head here slightly differently than I made it in the prototype, and I found that the order you glue things can make a big difference and make it easier. I also found that cloth pins work to hold parts in place. In conclusion even though I didnt get it all done for the due date I'm still going to keep working on the rest of the project.

PaperCraft Prototype

For the Prototype I just did the head. The 4 face planes were made with regular printer paper. The rest was made out of cardstock paper.  I used a paperclip to crease the lines, then cut it out and glue it. I found out you can speed up the cutting for the tabs by using scissors since it doesn't have to be as accurate except for the corners where it meets the faces. I unrolled the head by making a bunch of vertical slices. For the main version i might try attaching all the slices to the base of the head first and then building up.
