The first set of 2 scale sections collapsed!
After ghost creasing stage is complete, trim of the excess paper and form the creases !
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 !
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.
