Reddit reviews Beacon Zip Dry 2 oz

What's the board game? My choice of adhesive would be a high quality "archival" acid free/neutral ph glue. Something like this adhesive. I have not used this glue, but it gets good reviews. I would use it sparingly as a reviewer suggests. I would not use rubber cement, as that has been known to attack plastics. And many common white glues would wrinkle the paper.

During the summer I started papercraft as a hobby as well, and what I've noticed is that there isn't really one website that explains getting into the craft very well.

Here are some links I came across.

Essential items (also has links to models)

Zip Dry can be more useful than Elmer's for some projects

A Bone Folder is useful to have but not essential, can make scoring without leaving marks easier

More info on what to use for paper and some video guides


When I started I made a bunch of Cubees as they were quick and easy to build. As for tips on moving into models, I say once you feel comfortable and you don't mind wasting some ink, just go for it, grab a few models and just build.

When building a model it's important to understand how it's supposed to look in three dimensions as you're building it, download Pepakura Viewer, most if not all models come with a .PDO file, this way you can plan and build your model without having to guess what pieces go where and how.

I will post some links to websites with models, but if you just google papercraft models you should find tons. I'd say don't start out too difficult if you want to not get frustrated, find models that are between 1-3 pages.

Ultimate Papercraft posts a new model every Saturday, but also has a good backlog that is categorized by difficulty

Pokemon Papercraft is a good place to start as well, the creators also usually leave tips for the models that might not be obvious

That's all I can remember off the top of my head, I know there's some good stuff I'm forgetting, I'll post it if comes back to me.

Good luck!
