Sprite Stitch Board!

This christmas during the Guild Wars Wintersday 2009 event they released a series of papercraft models made from the in-game 3D models. Being that this game is a favorite of both me and my partner I decided that Chibi-Gwen would make her a great christmas present.

So I finished it last night at 2am because today I have a 4 hour bus trip ahead of me.
Pictures! I didn't get many because I was in such a hurry to get it finished It was lots of fun to make, a little frustrating. I used card that was a little thick which made some bits hardser than they should of been, simple PVA glue applied with toothpicks and a series of clamps to hold peices in place so I didn't have to sit around holding things waiting for glue to dry, I could just move onto another peice while I waited.

Cost me about $3 to make, used work's colour laser printer and if I ever do antoher one of these, I'm doing it on A3 card

never thought of using a clamp to help it hold together that's a smart idea! your folds look way better than mine too!....tho all i've ever done is a box cat for the top of my monitor....hehe

All my folds were done over a small metal ruler

I was going to ask if it was a bone folder. I'm incredibly bad at folding, but once I got my hands on one of these I'm a million times better!

Here's a link to wikipedia for those interested in paper crafts. Price should be under $10. Just make sure it's not plastic. (Those tend to suck.)

That would have been nice to have, the metal edges would scratch the paper if I wasn't careful.
Another useful tool to have on hand is chopsticks, good for poking tabs down when you only have a small opening to work with.
