How about we attempt to calm this down by answering the man's question?
theres a PDF out there which answers alot of questions, but from my experience:

- i use a stanley knife (i think they call them exacto pens or something in the US)
- i use scissors for shapes that are inconvenient to cut with the knife.
- i use matches or toothpicks (toothpicks are more accurate) to spread the glue
- i use an embossing stylus to score the fold lines before i fold. its pretty much a metal rod with a handle, which narrows to a sharp point, but has a little sphere on the end of it. Before i found this i used a little screwdriver to score.
- i use PVA glue. its actually wood glue, but it dries clear and if you use a tiny amount on your tabs and squeeze it firmly it will dry in about 2 seconds.
- i use normal printer paper (i think its 80 or 90 gsm. whatever the default is), but i think 160-200gsm paper would be more appropriate for bigger models or models that would last longer.
- i use an old maths boox for a backboard for cutting, a pencil for curving cylinders etc, and tweezers for dealing with tiny things.

did i miss anything?

ty anon, and could you answer me, what exactly is the use of scoring? atm im usin the corner of my desk to make every single bend in the paper, for lack of a better knowledge.

you may have seen people use a blade to make a very light cut in cardboard, to make it fold exactly where they want it to. Its a bad idea to use a blade, because it leaves a white line and it weakens the fold.
Scoring just compresses the paper along the fold line, meaning if you bend the paper anywhere near the score, it will fold where you want it to, and it doesn't leave a line or weaken the paper. Its particularly useful for small folds that are close to each other. While folding on an edge also works, there are many situations where you can't do this or it would be very hard to.
Its a little annoying to take the time to score every single line on a piece before you start creasing/glueing it, but it reduces the folding time alot, and makes your folds alot more accurate.

btw im the saging anon :P
