Tali Papercraft by Xenon Difficulty: 8.75/10 Height: ~47cm This is quite a difficult papercraft, so you should have experience prior to building. It is split into 3 sections, the legs, body and head/extras which should ideally be built in that order. The model benefits from the smooth building method where you ignore most of the fold lines and only score the tab folds just in case. There are a few places e.g. like the helmet, some right angles on the arms that should be scored- usually I'll mention these in the instructions. You must use thick paper/thin card. Printer paper will not be strong enough! Anything from 120-200gsm should be alright. Also it's a good idea to colour some of the white edges of the paper with a black pen to stop them showing. Also the backs of the hood tabs should be coloured to make them less visible. ---- For a model of this complexity, please take a look at the PDO files. These are 3D models which list the parts and how they join together. You can open them with Pepakura Viewer downloadable free here: http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/ The model comes in two colour schemes, with lined/lineless PDFs supplied for both. The PDO is just the default texture but this can be easily changed in Pepakura by going to: Settings > Texture Settings and selecting the location of the texture you want to load.
