Well, I use very light cardboard, about two times thicker than normal paper. I cut everything out with a small paper scissor and a sharp hobby knife. Than I score the folds with a dull kitchen knife. This i do on a cutting matte and very precise. The trick is than to use a big tweezer with a curved end. This tool is essential. You can make very small folds with that. The glue is applied with a toothpick. Also very important is to press the two surfaces with that tweezer. This way the glue sets nearly immediately. The original pattern is of course drawn much bigger. I then use a photocopy machine to reduce the size and copy it directly on the thin cardboard. So nothing special, except for the use of such a curved tweezer.
even for the largest models, the use of tweezers is perfect, then I found when I had the fantastic idea of putting the glue with the tip of the blade like a spatula, then the glue dries out and remained on the blade stands in a moment like rubber.
