Requesting a link to a site with information on beginning papercraft. Also links with tips, tricks, and what materials to use would be appreaciated. And if you have them template links and advanced info sites.

Thanks a bunch

But as for the materials you should use: look around you. A special scoring tool (for foldlines) isn't really necessary, there's dozens of things around the house you can use for that for instance.
Most people use cardstock instead of regular printer paper, it's a bit thicker. 90-110 lbs or 160-200 gsm usually. As for glue, most people use white PVA glue (Elmer's, carpenter's wood glue). But I'm sure you had to glue paper together in kindergarten; the glue they use there is actually quite good. Draw from your experience to find out what kind of stuff you can use, most people have worked with paper before. ;)

Thanks, I was curious about the paper and glue. I heard that to do some things printing paper is too light.

My personal impression with glues like elmers is that they are too wet (or does it not get through the card paper?).

The trick is using next to no glue; you apply glue with a scrap of paper or your finger so that it's barely there then join the pieces and hold them in place a few moments, and the link is made.

Watch that how-to on the Yamaha site that>>86711posted -- it shows the BEST techniques for gluing.
