Posted By: ninjatoes Posted On: Dec 14, 2010 Views: 400 | So many ideas, so little time... ;o) Although sometimes I can enjoy very complex models, I usually like models that don't take so long to complete (because there are so many more models that I'd like to make too! ;o) But what about *you*? |
Posted By: WC Posted On: Dec 14, 2010 Views: 397 | RE: So many ideas, so little time... ;o) I chose casual, but when I find a model I like, I go at it hardcore. I recently spent 80-100 hours building a model and the rest of my life suffered while I did it. :D As for which I prefer, I like big (like 2 ft tall), beautiful models, but without too many crazy details. |
Posted By: Didier Bretin Posted On: Dec 14, 2010 Views: 391 | RE: So many ideas, so little time... ;o) I agree so little time. I like looking at complex building and would be happy to make them, but it's not easy to have enough time. So I build model which make sense for me the moment I see it. For example, I make papercraft for Halloween or for Christmas. |
Posted By: ninjatoes Posted On: Dec 14, 2010 Views: 387 | RE: So many ideas, so little time... ;o) Ah, then you will be making another one soon? ;o) For most people, papercraft is just a hobby after all, and it can be very time consuming, so it can often be difficult to find the time (without it destroying your life... ;o) Luckily, if you keep your work safe, you can just leave it alone for as long as you like, and pick it up again later. ;o) Although I do pretty much spend almost every day doing *some* papercrafting (even if it's only a few parts ;o) I always like to make many different models, so I don't usually have 80-100 hours to build only one of them, even though like you I'd like to sometimes, if I had more time... ;o) |
Posted By: Didier Bretin Posted On: Dec 14, 2010 Views: 384 | RE: So many ideas, so little time... ;o) You are right ninjatoes, I try to make a little crafting every day. Sometimes, I papercraft on the sofa listening to TV (and sometimes looking at :)). Sometimes I talk to my family and in the same time I build a piece or two. |
Posted By: Llamadragon Posted On: Dec 14, 2010 Views: 379 | RE: So many ideas, so little time... ;o) Last year, I was papercrafting constantly- so constantly, that I think I may have gotten upwards of 70 models done in the entire school year. However, this year my workload has greatly increased, and I think I just went a month before I found time to even touch a papercraft. So I may have gone from nearly hardcore (I never build any of the super large models) to casual-serious, because I am always finding more models I want to build, but I no longer have the time for them. But I think it's just as a hobby this year as last year. |
Posted By: Kupo Posted On: Dec 14, 2010 Views: 375 | RE: So many ideas, so little time... ;o) I have to say casual, I guess. :/ I really enjoy papercraft, and I try to do it whenever I can, but my prefered workspace is right by my laptop, and I get distracted easily. Also, I've got a ton more homework to do, so I can never find too much time, though I try to devote at least 5 minutes a day to building a model. On breaks and weekends, though, I can usually get a lot done, which makes me happy. So, I guess I'm casual on weekdays, and serious on weekends. :P And I usually prefer to build models with 6 or less, due to the amounts of paper and time I have. |

Posted By: Jouzu Posted On: Dec 17, 2010 Views: 350 | RE: So many ideas, so little time... ;o) I chose "diehard builder", because it had the words "only the most complex ones" in it. I dont like to build models that are easy like cubecrafts or so... Although i don't spend all of my time with papercrafts^^... All in all it is something in between serious builder and diehard builder! |
Posted By: ninjatoes Posted On: Dec 18, 2010 Views: 344 | RE: So many ideas, so little time... ;o) I think anyone that makes not one but two lifesized Final Fantasy characters out of paper qualifies as a "diehard builder"! ;o) |

Posted By: ninjatoes Posted On: Dec 20, 2010 Views: 332 | RE: So many ideas, so little time... ;o) Haha whoops, 1 m is definately not life-sized, no... ;o) But it's still pretty big, and you definately put in *a lot* of time and effort, so to me, you're still a diehard papercraft builder! ;o) |
