Hi;
First this. Don't think for one minute that you can just take some typing paper and build a complex model. You might, but, I doubt it. Unless you are familiar with the Media that is.
Why do I say this? Ask any Paper Crafter. The paper comes in many weights.Yes, weights! How they came up I don't know. Do you remember construction paper from School? It's like that. Some is heavy, some is light.
Now, most Paper( Card) models come with the parts either in two weights or they do one weight, but simpler construction methods. It does make things interesting, believe me! Now here's this. You can build a Panel or Section or even Plank on frame style. Some are even full Hull.
This is where it get's interesting. When doing these you need to say, Stiffen the paper you're working with. There is a cure. Go to your best craft store, Hobby Lobby etc. and pick up some Craft Clear Semi-Gloss Fixative in a Spray.
Lay the sheets out BEFORE you cut anything out. Spray Both sides. Yes, Aleen's Craft Glue in the Copper Bottle will still stick. This seems to stabilize the paper too; also ,when doing frames for Aircraft and Ships Double or Triple the thickness using light cardboard.
Sometimes on ships the frames are just to thin to support the sides. Now Wilhelmshaven uses a Waterline plate on their hulls with the deck as the upper support. They have glue tabs top and bottom plus a type of keel. The stiffened paper works better here because it won't ripple while gluing. On some models like theirs, You do not glue to the frames. You glue to the top and bottom plates only. This foregoes any Rib Ripple from any glue.
Again, everything works better, for me anyway if I stabilize the thinner products with the Craft Spray first. It won't mess up the printing, be it digital or regular type printing. One other thing I learned. When Doing the paper or card model you've selected. You can use the scraps to create inner supports for areas that have many folds therefore are weaker overall.
Sometimes I cut the assembly tabs off and create new ones from scrap. I actually get better corners and straighter, stronger construction that way.
