Improvisation Paper-Toys

Some time ago I was in Rome on vacation for a few days,
instinctively I had brought a bag with me, with inside utility
knife, scissors, pencil and ruler.
during these days I had some chances to make small improvisation exercises,
when I find pieces of paper in his hands, the covers of magazines, leaflets, Tikets
..
quickly design a small model, very instinctively and without glue joints.

I show you the results:
;-)

having said that I urge you all to try, is an excellent exercise in thought, decompose and recompose geometrical figures with his head. not to take too long to think about.

DOOOOOOOOD!!!
I just came across this post.
I luv the concept.

Do I understand the rules properly?
No glue or glue tabs? Just paper, twists, and folds?

is not a contest but a free exercise, you can do as you like;
I personally am completely eliminating the use of glue, also models the most challenging project.
with the joints you can do everything!

Hi VinsArt,

Yep, an exercise - just wanted to be clear about the "rules" of paper toy improvisation. I've got a bunch of old biz cards that I never got to use. I think I'll get started on that. LOL Thanks for this, so very inspired!!!

really nice spaceship red!
I now have released "little western";
templates of the characters, were improvised on the my business card.
I really liked the shape obtained with a few folds
and later I worked a lot on the costume.

if you make other models improvised publish them on this page reference,
are very useful for inspiration.
