Paper Arcade

[XYXZYZ]

Oh, I am getting a printer eventually and I'm not going cheap; I'm going to pay a little more for a high quality product. But I'm not looking to buy one just yet.

I'm back. I'll also have a new paper version of the greatest arcade cabinet ever (IMO) early next week.

PDF is going to wet himself. I know I will.

I have been watching all this with alot of interest and I was wondering, do you need to use special paper or any other tools. If I am going to try papercrafting I want to be sure that I do it right.

Thanks for any information you can provide.

As far as tools go, I just use a nice pair of scissors, though you may want to pick up an x-acto knife for interior sections that may need to be cut away.

I like Avery brand Permanent Glue Stic (washable, acid-free/photo-safe) which by far works the best out of the few glue sticks I've tried on the paper I use. You will also need a permanent black marker to shade in the exposed white areas.

And as for the paper, I use HP Everyday Inkjet Semi-Gloss Photo Paper (100 pack for $15.99 at Best Buy and worth every last cent). It's real easy to cut and fold and gives you a nice glossy surface that looks killer when all put together.

You can purchase individual sheets of transparent paper (along with the glue stick) at Kinkos (the ink rubs off unless they use their printers, though you can do what I did and just fold the sheet over the printed on side and glue it down).

The sides fold in where the red/black parts end and the top and bottom areas fold where the white lines begin. It really is a pain (and was my third attempt at designing this section). Keep in mind, that the end result should be almost cube shaped.
