Gandhi: 17' Tall Cardboard Avatar

Step 3Make a small Pepakura head...

Make a small Pepakura head...
Before I set out to make the big cardboard Gandhi, I tried a test to make a small head using standard laserprinter paper. I HIGHLY recommend you do this simply to get familiar with the basic process involved in constructing with the Pepakura diagrams.

The image here is of the first attempt at using the Pepakura process. As you can see, I reversed the process and kept the numbers and lines on the outside of the figure. The numbering and the lines generally go on the inside of the object ;-)

Pepakura uses a system of straight, unbroken lines for cuts, dotted lines and dot-dash-dot lines for valleys or mountains (can't remember which is which, read the tutorial with the software!).
