Hi all,
Got some time to spare? Want to waste it? Then read on.

Simple idea for a thread, everyone’s made one of those little paper/card cut-out and stick models before. I’ve plucked a selection from the world wide welly to get ya started. If anyone’s got any others then slap them on (but don’t just go pulling random ones from Google, choose one that’s at least a bit geekish.

I'll be trying a few over the next few days and will post pics as I get them finished.

Now, to get you started.

The DarkBASIC Pyramid (file attached to post)
Found this floating about a while back and kept it in a dusty folder on my HD. Where it came from originally is anyone’s guess, a bit like Willy Wonka……
Just don’t ask what it’s doing to that mouse.


The Desktop Necromancer
Ok, so not instantly geeky but it’s stood on a keyboard in the pic! And I thought it was pretty funky.

Paper Wallet
This could actually be passed off as not completely useless so it probably shouldn’t be here but I like the site it’s on.

Insanely Detailed Star Wars AT-AT
If you have the time/patience/skill/perseverance/geekness to actually complete one of these you should probably just skip the interview, march right on into the Ruler of the World Offices and demand your very own swivelly chair and ‘I RULE OK’ mug.

We are the angry mob, we read the papers every day. We like who we like, we hate who we hate but we're also easily swayed!

I have a DarkBASIC pyramid somewhere, but it's more like just a thin piece of card these days.

I try to do things like this, but then I get wrapped up in the myth that you can't fold a piece of paper in half six or seven times. Oh, the number of trees that have died for THAT cause is staggering. And now that I've talked about it...

Actually that shouldn't happen. Even if you know how the head is structured, and how it works.
