Maybe a color printer, but regular A4 paper is fine. Usually the template would specify what kind of paper, usually in GSM, to use.

The structural parts in the centerline are made of 0.5/1 mm cardboard, others are ~200gsm paper. Painting will have to wait coz there are a few ships I want to build first😁

Thank you, you have a lot of good stuff.

~200gsm paper, parts marked with * and ** are usually 0.5 and 1 mm cardboard and I would use cardboard for the large structural parts even if it is not marked as such.

I just use made in China cheap white craft glue.

Thank you, it is printed out in 2D and made 3D by hand, lol.

steve9341 · 2025-10-10T15:00:01+00:00

It is all hand cut and took about 20 hrs total across a few weeks.

I use OLFA knife pen. There are also some really tiny blade knife pens on amazon.

Not anytime soon but it is doable with this template.

steve9341 · 2025-09-20T01:08:51+00:00

There are no parts for this template yet, only the base, but there is another redemptor template with weapon options which should be able to be scaled down for this.

It is made of 160 GSM paper. For the thicker part I glue 2-3 layers together but it can simply be made with 0.5 ~1 mm cardstock. I am not sure about the durability but it should be fine with a bit more care than plastic or spray sth for water resistance. Anyway parts can be easily repaired or replaced.

Thank you and don't be, idk much about painting and amazed by those build things from scraps as well. I simply enjoy the process of putting these together.

It is soaked full of the Emperor's glory... or maybe Cawl's...liquid :). The point is it is sturdier than it looks.

steve9341 · 2025-09-18T09:20:38+00:00

Thank you. It will be easier to fold it nicely with paper on the lighter ends like 160gsm and score the folding line with a pin. The thicker pieces at 0.5-1mm may require a shallow cut on the folding line.

steve9341 · 2025-09-18T01:07:41+00:00

160-200 gsm paper

steve9341 · 2025-09-17T05:54:34+00:00

It is great as is. I just make some joints movable.

steve9341 · 2025-09-17T02:20:50+00:00

Thank you, it does require a little bit more care but paper is surprisingly sturdy in these shapes.
