Description
So I disposed (squished) of my Paperpokè collection, as I needed the space for books on my shelves, and the models were becoming a health hazard (dust and more dust).Only half of them would fit on the table; and it looked so funny, that I took a photo. Now my noes itches and I can't stop sneezing, but at least my office looks much cleaner and neater!
I did keep a handful of them, the ones that have the most sentiment to me, like Lapras, Snorlax and all the Gengars, but the rest are balls of paper in a big black bin liner waiting for the garbage truck to pick them up next recycling day.
Don't cry - they had a good life

I plan to make a cyndaquil, can you tell me what type of glue you used? I tried using stick glue but it doesn't work very well.Β

The glue I used was discontinued, and that pretty much was the end of my papercrafting days as struggling with other glues that didn't work half as well was less than enjoyable. Also, I live in Australia, and variety is limited. I hear thatΒ Elmer's Craft Bond Paper Craft Glue Gel Β is very good, but I don't personally know as that product is not available here. The key to any good glue is instant tackiness and hold. If you can find a glue that sticks quickly but allows you enough time to adjust your alignment before setting, you've hit gold.Β

That's so sad. I've just watched from ep 1 to 5 eps before sinnoh ends! Yup. It's gonna be the end of an era because I saw all of the gen 5 anime and set out to watch all the eps prior and in order. So close to 802 eps I've seen! Now for X and Y

Well done. It can be really hard getting rid of models you've poured hours into, but, like everything, eventually they have to go

Wow - this has opened my world to a whole new paper-folding art! I'm really impressed! (I'm also impressed you squished them as was necessary - I'm sure I would have found some way to... hang them from the ceiling or some other horrible alternative, haha)

Thank you. I think that at some point you can only keep so many paper crafts before you have to bite the bullet and give them up, otherwise it gets out of control!Β

I tried to do a Chao but it came out a mushy mess. TT^TT

That's probably because you used regular printer paper. Ideally, you should use at least 150gsm paper for papercraft - it has a better structural integrity. But A+ for effort.

I'm going to pretend that made some sort of sense to me while smiling and nodding politely. >_>

Hahaha! Ok, so paper is measured in weight, but this is not actually true, it's more like thickness/density, but for all intensive purposes, lets call it weight. Standard printer/photocopy paper is 80gsm (grams per square meter) and for printing or copying, it's perfect.
However, for constructing something 3-dimensional, it is too thin and flimsy. So What you need to do is find some thicker paper, of about 150gsm. This is kind of an in between thickness/weight - not regular paper or cardboard. You'll find it will go through a household printer relatively easily, and it will give you the structural strength required to make a papercraft construction not go all floppy.
I hope that makes sense and helps you. Depending on where you live, you should be able to find a reem at your local stationery retailer (Staples in the US, or Officeworks in Australia)
