I recently discovered a new hobby, pepakura or papercraft, it is where you make 3-D objects out of paper.  It’s different from origami because you don’t fold paper into 3-D objects, you cut and glue pieces of shapes together with some minor folding to form an object.  I’ve made one a while back which is the motocycle from the game Contra, it was crappy because I didn’t print it on thick paper.  The one I made recently came from Macross, the YF-1S Valkyrie from this website which they have other things you can make.

I didn’t time how long I’ve spent on it but probably 6 or 7 hrs.  Next one I will print it on a color printer, this one I don’t really care because I just wanted to test myself.  I might even make another one in color but I need to pick up a new x-acto knife and a cutting mat, it is crucial to have the right tools otherwise it’ll take longer than it should.
