Hey /po/,
This is my first time around here, so I had a few questions about stuff and also wanted to make a request:
I want to try and make a papercraft model or two as an extra hobby during the summer. How do you guys go about doing it? Are there any sites you like for help or instructions aside from the ones included in the model? Also, what kind of paper do you use? Regular A4? Posterboard?

Secondly, I googled for it, went back pages, and checked the papercraft archive. Could someone please possibly post a papercraft model with instructions for Howl's Moving Castle? I know its supposed to be ridiculously hard, but I would like to have a crack at it and some fun along the way.

Have some Kamen Rider Knight: Survive Form for your efforts and time.

That link has instructions on how to make papercraft models. It's in video form, and it says you'll need Flash 8 or higher to view it.

As for paper, I used to use regular office paper, but most people use cardstock. I switched to cardstock and it's much much better than regular paper, but it can still be done with regular. Cardstock costs 6 dollars for 50 sheets at Michaels.

There's Howl's Moving Castle. I'm really warning you that you do not want this to be your first model. It is very hard.

Thank you.

I'm probably going to start with some Kamen Rider models (see attached), Metal Gear Rex, then The Castle.

Yeah, I thought that I would start big, then it got smaller and smaller ... now I'm up to the pikachu model and that's bad enough.

Papercraft is harder than it seems.

You can go to an office supply store and get printer paper that's thicker than what is usually used in a printer. If you're in the U.S., then look for a pack of paper that says it's somewhere between 65 lb. weight and 110 lb. weight. I think Office Max sells 67 lb. weight paper with 250 sheets being around $10.

Here's a picture of Wasau bristol/cardstock paper in the wrapping. It usually costs a dollar more than the store brand, but the quality is a little bit higher.

You can use either US letter paper or A4 paper. If the template is in PDF form, then it will automatically resize the image to fit correctly on the page when sent to print. If it is in another file format, then check to make sure that it will fit by previewing the image on the computer. Also try to make sure that you're using a program that isn't resizing all of your templates to different scales.
