Paperformers, Part III (Complete)
Wow! I finished making a Paperformer, and it really works: I was able to transform an hour into a stupid boxy paper model of Bumblebee! By the halfway point I was ready to use the X-Acto on myself instead of the car, but I stuck with it because I am a stubborn bastard and wanted to see if I could get to the end.
This thing should be included in some kind of bootcamp for Archis. Seriously, it could be some sort of Elmers-and-X-Acto Endurance Test, to be taken by first-semester students. The jury would use a loupe to inspect your cuts (the kerf of a razor blade comes into play!) and points would be taken off for edge gaps on folded boxes. (Add 16 fl. oz. each of vodka and orange juice for the “extreme” second-semester version.)
