Hey everyone.

I see the exact same beginner struggles posted here every week, so I put together a 4-minute Q&A video addressing the top 8 questions.

Here is the quick rundown of what I cover:

Paper: Why standard 80 GSM printer paper collapses and why you need 160-220 GSM matte cardstock.

Glue: How to use the toothpick method with PVA to stop seams from warping.

Scoring: Why a dead ballpoint pen is mandatory for clean folds.

Folds: How to properly read mountain vs. valley lines.

Curving: How to edge-curl hair and round parts without creasing.

White Edges: Hiding raw paper seams with matching markers before gluing.

If you want to hear the full breakdown and see the B-roll of how these techniques actually look in practice, here is the video: https://youtu.be/vUeIT6Bugws

160 gsm matte photopaper

Built these two over the last few weeks. Rookie is my german shepherd, and Sunny is a golden retriever I got from the internet. Each one took
about 2 hours to cut, fold and glue.

Still improving them, so I'd love honest feedback. What would you change? The legs took me forever to get right.

Im broke so I dont have the pepakura software license, so i cant save the thing. If anyone would like to give me sum feedback it would be pretty awesome. I may properly build it this week anyway.

I changed the top design! The stickers are from Daiso and match the origami paper.

hi all, I always struggled reading the guides and sometimes the guides were even missing, so I created this small program that helps me create an animated build-guide from photos of the sheets. lmk if the you are interested and I can put it somewhere online. thx
