Of course
The idea behind the tutorial's Is the
Face you pull when you read a tutorial in a magazine .That tells you how wonderfully simple a build it is,if you only source some exotic material ,or spend the family fortune on plastic card.
So I started reminding people that the things you made as a child were valid modelling.All you need to do is update the subject matter,and refine the shapes and styling.But the main point is reminding you of the fun,as child you grabbed any empty packets you were allowed and built what ever you wanted,you. Never doubt yourself if you could build a spaceship you just built.
What does it matter if its wonky and misshapen(everything I make is) you don't have to show anyone and its barely cost anything and you've got time to regroup and learn while you eat your way to the next empty box.
To come to the point in adult terms this zero or near zero cost modelling.It works on the following assumption's.
As Gamers' /Modellers you already have access to paints and any scenic accessories you'd need if you choose to base the model.
This also goes for tools and adhesive's.
As for materials it varies from project to project.However all items used are what most people tend to have around the house,and at worst if you need to buy in won't cost the earth,and you'll know where to get them locally.
Most of these builds are nothing more than card and cocktail sticks.
In the case of the private tutorial I did on the tramp steamer
The sea is toilet paper twisted into loose 'ropes'and covered in neat PVA.
The mast is a chopstick,the deck gun is an old figure painting brush(you could also make the mast this way)equally you could have made the whole thing out of card.
The Pulp Flyer is cereal packet card and cocktail sticks machineguns.The flying stand is a BBQ kebab stick.
And that is as exotic as it gets for materials.
Tools.
Ruler,sandpaper,files,compass,or coin depending on the size of circle required.Sharp knife(the sharper/the newer the blade the better).
Not scissors never scissors they compress the edge if the card(unless that's the effect your after)
Adhesive.
PVA,Uhu,and predominantly superglue.
As for clamping there's not much call for it because of the speed at which the glues work on card.just holding it in place is often enough.
The main question I get asked .Is how do you get so thick on the sides ?
Layering its that simple
