Well..... whatever model is too complex for smaller paper. Sometimes I just cut large paper to make modular things. But since I don't know what your resources for diagrams are like, I'm can't recommend a particular design... :?

You should make tissue foil. :D
Tissue foil -- the best thing since sliced bread.

Yes, make tissue foil! And then make something really nice that you've never had the time, patience or nice enough paper to :wink:

Search the forums. There's plenty of help. And some Youtube videos present some tricks that should make things easier.

Well, in my experience, tissue foil is great, even when it's dimensions are relatively small. I usually cut mine to be around 45cm on each side, and I can easily fold complex things. If you try to make it much bigger than that and fold less complex models out of it, the weight of the paper can make it droop, defeating some of the purpose of using tissue foil :-k . The tissue should be on both sides, so cut your sheet in half if you haven't already, or get another color. And if you're trying to mainatin the same size square as your tisue foil, good luck with that because 1) foil is never that big and 2) setting down foil perfectly on top of sticky tissue is difficult. I make a sandwich, cut off any extra sides that don't have all three layers, and then make the perpendicular half-half folds to prep it for the paper cutter. So no matter what, you're probably going to have to take it to some kind of accurate paper cutter.
What do you plan on making out of it?
