There isn’t a “No Eat” in the title for this fish so I’m going to eat this.

No glue was used at the very top front centre, Its a spot where the cotton wool combined with the shaping i did which creates pressure pushing up so if i add glue and that part opens up, boom, glue marks forever and the appearance will be ruined, permanently.



An extremely fun model to fold and especially shape. The one thing i love with shaping is going about and figuring it all out, how to aquire each part of the model to then turn it into what i want it to be, certainly an amazing & challenging yet rewarding process.







The crease pattern was ghost creased to make only the essential creases needed and not a single extra, now thats how you skip precreasing !

Thors Hammer!



Thor, The God Of Thunder's hammer, Mjollnir, brilliantly designed by pelomba https://instagram.com/pelomba?igshid=MzMyNGUyNmU2YQ== An extremely iconic design





Cardboard has been cut to the exact sizes of4 off the 6 sides then attached to the inside of the metal with glue then filled with cotton wool.



The final size of my fold is for the metal, 6 inches x 2 1⁄2 inches( 15.24cm x 6.35cm) and 10 inches (25.4cm) from the top of the metal to the bottom of the handle; this can vary depending on how it's shaped. According to google, the dimensions of the actual hammer is, for the metal 8.7 Inches x 5.5 Inches (14cm x 22cm) and 17.4 Inches (44cm) from the top of the metal to the bottom so to get as close as possible to a replica size, use between 120cm -130cm.







The crease pattern has been fully ghost creased to create only the creases needed and not a single extra, completely skipping pre creasing and getting the finished model 100% cleaner.

Impressive model! And probably easier to lift than the real one.

How do you ghost-crease? Do you lightly trace checkpoint marks on the paper before creasing?

[FearlessFlourish]

It is haha thank you,.

Essentially yes, i overlay the crease pattern onto the paper im using, attach it temporarily using "blu tac"so it doesent move or shift, then gently score over all the lines i need then once im confident ive got them all, just remove the overlay, cut of the excess paper and make the creases, the you can fold!

[Kabuntan]

Thanks for the explanation. That's really a lot of work and precision, but the result is worth it.

[FearlessFlourish]

Thanks!, well worth the extra effort
