Thank you! As to your advice, I used heavier paper (110) I only printed the first three pages, and I guess I'll start on the face as it says on the PDO file. And starting with the fingers definitely is a good idea, so I'll definitely take in all the tips you gave me! Thanks again for using your time to help me

Wow, thanks for the compliment!
As for advice, I would suggest on the paper being at least 120gsm, since this model is reasonably big and really does need paper thicker than the normal 80gsm to support it. If I remember correctly, I used normal paper for this Zelda model, and it definitely is very fragile because of it. Personally if I were to make this again, I would probably use 160gsm paper.
For building utensils I simply used Selleys craft glue (not a glue stick! Glue sticks are very tough to use when gluing papercrafts together, so I would avoid them if possible) and a pair of small,sharp scissors. A lot of papercrafters use craft knives to cut out their papercrafts, but I find them difficult to use, so I only resort to using them for cutting out parts that would be hard to cut out with scissors. Although I would still recommend trying them out, even just to see if you are able to use them.
The hardest parts of this papercraft are the fingers. They're very small, and made up of several small pieces. The fingers are also especially difficult because it does take a while to make all of them and becomes quite tedious after a while, which is why it might be a good idea to start with them first, since after that it's pretty much smooth sailing. I started with the hands on another paper model, and found that to a good way for me to do things, although that might not be the same for everyone.
Thanks once again, and good luck with the Zelda model

It's hard to say since I started this at the start of this year but then stopped making it until near the end of the year...so I would say about 4 months maybe?
