![]() ![]() The extra thickness of the paper made folding the deer’s head almost impossible, but the rest of the model held up well and I was able to wet-shape parts of it. We didn’t have large Kraft paper, but instead taped together 4 strips of Elephant Hide paper to make a 1’ x 10’ rectangle. I actually folded it alongside a good friend who was doing his own which made it more bearable, and there was a lot of beer involved after each folding session too. I remember being sore crawling all around the floor doing all the pre-creasing. That came out extremely well! That description you wrote brings back memories of when I folded it 8 years ago. If you've done this model before, I'm very much interested to hear any tips/tricks you have. I don't think that ordinary packaging Kraft is working well here at all, but the ridiculous proportions present a challenge in finding a good paper (I'm pretty much guessing the correct solution will likely be something homemade). However, before that, I'll have to figure out what paper would actually work for this, and how do I solve the problem of inaccuracy when I have to deal with such an enormous paper. I definitely want a second go at this sometime to try to actually do better. And even when I've resorted to glue, there's still spots where the result seems unsatisfactory to me like the gaps at the sides of the clock-face, the angles of the leaves, and how the weights/pendulum don't go straight down. Not only did the locking mechanism for the clock-face feel very flimsy, I also needed glue to seal the deer face at the top, to straighten the board for the bird, to make the seal at the bottom of the pineapple weights firm, and to somewhat try to straighten the pendulum. For the first time with my recent models, I had to resort to glue during shaping for a passable result. Still I'm far, far from satisfied with this one. Never would have believed that folding paper could make me exhausted, but here we are. I was working on an attic floor and am not in the best possible shape, so the precreasing/collapse was an actual workout that literally made my legs sore. Those of you who know the model probably already know how ridiculous the paper for this is: folded from a long 48cm x 480cm rectangle of packaging paper (likely Kraft). Help!

With a bunch of dynamic re-positioning and some careful folding the model came together beautifully – it is a special thing indeed, quite my favourite folded bit of paper for the moment. I cut a 20cm x 200cm sheet from a roll of 60gsm Kraft, but made a slight mistake (about 1/2 mm in the width) then used this measurement to work out the 1/16th unit that everything was measured off when placing reference creases. This figure has taken me an age for a bunch of reasons. Robert Lang is known for beautiful mathematical models and when I first saw photos of his “Black Forest Cuckoo Clock” it seemed impossible to tease all that details out of an uncut sheet.Ī genius design, we manage to encourage pendulum, a pair of pinecone weights, a weatherboard clock case, clock face (stuck on 5 O’clock), cuckoo bird with stage, stag head topper and a leaf garland surrounding it. I am fairly sure it did not survive the emmigration back to Oz because I do not remember it afterwards. ![]() It had the loudest tick of any clock I remember. I remember as a kid in New Zealand we had a cheezy Cuckoo Clock (Mum loved it) that used to have metal pinecones as counterweights and a faux timber case that used to “cuckoo” and scare the life out of me every hour. In need of some therapy, and with my procrastinator set on FULL, I embarked on a punishing box-pleating exercise:
