Hello and welcome to Zealot! You have come to the right place for all things paper & cardstock, as well as model building as a whole, and to build and hone your skills. Many of the members here are huge fans of sci-fi (myself included).

Thank you for sharing the photo of the Millennium Falcon. You did a great job on this project! This is a model that I have always, wanted to try my hand at building, but have never gotten around to it.

I would like to suggest that when you start a new project, please post a build thread. Build threads are a great way of show off your work and skills. Not only that, but if you run into an issue with a model you can highlight the area that you are having problems with and we can offer you some suggestions on how to deal with them.

So, if you have any questions, comments, concerns, need help or advice. Please feel free to ask and we will do what we can to help you (or at least point you in the right direction).

Once again, welcome aboard. I hope that you enjoy yourself here. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Thank you for the warm welcome. My next project is R2D2 made of paper and the Racer Crest of the Mandalorian made of plastic (35cm/13,77inch).
I still wanted to ask in which forum section I should post such projects.

Hi Rhaven Blaack, looked at your Gallery - masterpieces, am curious if I can ever keep up.
Thank you for the kind words! Just remember, unless we are at an exhibition, this hobby is to be enjoyed and to have fun with. With that being said, I am more than willing to answer any questions about the techniques that I use to get the effects that I have achieved in the models that I have made.

The beginning. I thought about the easiest and most beautiful way to punch the holes. After several attempts with scrap paper, the best way was to use a hole punch. The important thing is NOT TO HIT THE HOLES, but to use them precisely, press and turn them a little, which cuts out the hole cleanly and goes quickly (see the pictures). I use the handle of a lollipop as the axle.
The next step is to cut out, fold and glue the legs. Report to follow.

cut out, fold and glue. I cut out a part with four leaves glued together as a test.
Important: cut out and fold exactly! This is about the smallest dimensions. Cutting out the four glued-together leaves was very difficult, so cut carefully and with a lot of patience. Then finish the part with fine sandpaper.
I think this will be a tedious task...
