This is a papertoy I designed exclusively for the Urban Paper show at Subwalk this August in the Netherlands. I named him Arnie after the first boss i ever had. Rough and abrasive on the outside but a a real good guy on the inside. Also Subwalk is in a town called Arnhem so it works as a nod to that too. Soon I'll post some making of photos if your interested. And yes I did lose it once or twice gluing all those damn little spikes together.
Seems my papertoys are always made of flat or curved surfaces. I have be seeing tons of geometric paper folding online. So this idea came about from me trying to incorporate a geometric dimensional texture into one of my goofy papertoys.
I almost did a spit take when I scrolled down the page and saw that spiky back... I LOVE the contrast between the front and back of the design. Really sculptural, you gotta move all around it to really see it.

It's good that we have NPT and the Urban Paper book: it will push papertoys forward.
I'm just guessing, but your models could easily be made from vinyl....
