Are you thinking of what good things you can do on your used papers? Do you ever think of recycling them for better use in the future? Well, what products can you come up with your recycled papers?
My friend Dan has a very exotic hobby, for a boy. Instead of playing online games or related stuffs, Dan makes papercrafts. Seriously, when we were still kids we never noticed his passion for papercrafting, until 2008 started.
Since he started his hobby of paper crafting, he has already finished at least 30 products. Don't say that it's still a few. Well, it's indeed just a few, but considering he just started a few months ago, that is already considered superb. The fact that each papercraft is hard to complete and would usually take weeks to months to finish.
The one you are seeing on the side now is an Olympus OM SLR, a digital camera papercraft I asked him to make. I love photography, and I love cameras, so I asked him to make me one, and that's what he come up with. It's a real size camera, actually if you are not good in examining gadgets, you will hardly notice its difference from the real one from a distance.
There are a lot of ready to download papercraft models nowadays. All you have to do is print it, and start cutting them and turning them into the product you want it to be. You're lucky enough if there's a manual with the downloaded file, because most of the time all you have is the body model and that's it. You don't have any guide in building it.
You can either use recycled papers or new ones, depending on what printer you use. If your printer accepts rough paper that will not jam, then good for you. But if not, just settle with your office bond papers.
That Olympus OM camera was done in 2 weeks. Yesterday he showed us another papercraft he just finished, it's a Wall-E! He is now doing a new one, a Gundam Mobile Suit. But because he is already working now, we expect it to be finish in more than a month since he can only work on his papercrafts on weekends.
No trackbacks.
