New webpoll: where are you from?

Not a papercraft related poll per se this time, but I literally get messages from papercrafters all over the world (that's not a complaint btw! ;o) so I'm curious: where are *you* from?

Where are you from?

Where are you from? Africa Asia Australia/New Zealand Europe North America Russia South America Current Results

(I'm from the Netherlands, btw ;o)


Last time's webpoll ("How did you get into papercrafting?") got a lot of reactions again:
Not only from voters, but also on the Papermodels II Google group: of course there are many more ways people might have stumbled across papercraft than just these 4; I think probably almost everybody has made their own toy car, castle or dollhouse from a cardboard box as a kid! ;o)

A lot of people seem to loose interest in papercraft when they get older, though, until they happen to come across it again when searching the internet for the latest news about their favourite videogame, or television show, or whatever it is they're fan of!

(At least that's how I got suckered into papercrafting again - not that I mind, though... ;o)

But in the end, from most of the comments that I got, I think people get into papercraft because it's just so much fun of course! ;o)

Knoest test build #3

Here's a picture of my latest papercraft LEGO minifig test build, of the arms and the hands!

Well, one hand and one hook actually, and only one arm - but that's just because the other arm is exactly the same only mirrored of course! ;o)

Stay tuned!

Knoest test build #2

Aside from a few small texture fixes (and one big one in having to flip the entire shirt... ;o) I'm very happy with how the torso went together in this test build!

I'll switch around a few glueing tabs, and unfold some parts a bit differently, but I don't think I'll need to change anything in the 3D model itself as far as the torso goes. ;o)

Stay tuned!

LEGO Knoest's stylish shirt unfolded

Test building the model gives me the opportunity to see if the paper model goes together the way I imagined, or that it might be better to change my ideas...

Tab placement often makes it much easier (or much more difficult...) to assemble a model, so it's something I often end up changing depending on the test build; and sometimes I even end up unfolding a certain piece completely differently on the final model... ;o)

I also wanted to see how the shirt turns out (which somehow ended up getting mirrored here...) but since the rest of the torso is just black, I'm using a different colour so I can easily see the lines for the test build without having to change the line colours right now. ;o)

Stay tuned!
