Creating three-dimensional objects from paper is a fascinating and rewarding challenge. The use of paper or card stock to make models is hundreds of years old, and is enjoyed by people around the world. Subjects for card models are as diverse as aircraft, buildings, trains, vehicles and even animals, and the tools are simple: hobby knife, a cutting surface, and a little white glue. As your experience grows you will find yourself trying new techniques, and building more complex and ambitious projects. Perhaps you will even try designing your own models. (see designers corner) |
For school projects or just plain fun, there are a huge number of FREE papermodels on the internet. Because of the use of sharp cutting tools, and the challenge of folding, positioning and gluing parts correctly, why not go and ask your parents for a little help with your first couple projects. Our newest free school project we are offering is our new Wind Generator!
