Hey /po/

I've looked at this board on occastion and recently I've decided I want to pick up papercraft as a hobby.

What do I need to get started supply and tool wise and what are some good papercrafts to start out with?

tl;dr I'm new please help me.

welcome to /po/!
first, to get started, watch the video here to pick up some basic techniques:

next, be sure to get all the right tools.
You'll definitely need a cutting mat, papercraft glue(I use Elmer's Papercraft Glue) a ruler, hobby knife, scissors, and a scoring tool. All of which can be found at your local hobby store.
As for a scoring tool, many different things work. some people use empty pencils/pens, unfolded paperclips, and even the backside of a hobby knife. I myself use the dirt cleaning tool on a set of fingernail clippers.
For paper, some argue that printer paper works fine, but others argue it's too flimsy and they recommend 110 lb. cardstock instead. I use 110 lb. for all my models, and I get mine at wal-mart. 300 sheets for 5 bux.
next, some decent models can be found on rapidsearch(http://rapidsearch.yi.org) or even some of the pages here, look through them and see if there's anything you like. Some decent starting models are:
Moot
The Katamari Prince
Any hako model
The Phoenix Wright Models
and a good deal of the models at canon's papercraft website:
