Character Stand

So after a lengthy process I now have the physical 3D form of an object that I had created in Rhinoceros and Adobe Illustrator. Though it is only a simple paper craft, I find that it is still cool to have.


 To be completely honest, I just wanted to make a pedestal for potential 3D figures of characters that I make.
Here is a mock-up with a small pop up card I made.
Overall, I'd say that the creation of the pedestal wasn't that complicated of a process, but it was still fun. I will say that my choice of glue, that being a simple glue stick, was a terrible idea. So I eventually resorted to using tape to try and strengthen the glue.  At its current state I believe that the pedestal is held together by faith... Yep, it's on the verge of unfolding into a clobbered mess. I am not completely satisfied with the final result so I think I'll be redesigning the pedestal to make it more complicated. Also If I make another one it's definitely going to have a different type of glue be used, because glue sticks are not good for more rigid papers.
Until next time, have a good one!
