What to use in general: Paper - use paper that is heavier than regular printer paper (regular printer paper is 20lb/ 75gsm). Thicker paper = more sturdy model, but harder to cut/fold/score. Thinner paper = less sturdy model, but easier to cut/fold/score. Printing Inkjet - ink and printers are cheaper to replace than toner and laserjets, and the edges hold up well after scoring/folding, but it doesn't print on all paper types, the resolution may be lower, and any moisture (e.g. Sweat from hands) can ruin the colour.
Laser - able to print on all types of paper, can handle moisture, and can print at a higher resolution than ink, but can crack and flake off when scored/folded, and toner can be more expensive than ink. Cutting - a self-healing cutting mat is an essential tool along with an Xacto knife or similar brand with #11 blades, or a box cutter knife. Scissors can also be used by themselves, or together with a knife.
Knife for detailed parts, scissors for straight cuts) Folding - Run the back of your Xacto blade, or an empty ballpoint pen, or any similar small blunt edge along the line of a glue tab with enough pressure to leave an indent but not enough to cut it, then fold. You can do this on either front of back of a piece, but front is easier.
Use a ruler (preferably metal) to help. For curved parts, it is better to curl them around a round object (such as a coloured pencil or your Xacto knife handle) by rubbing the object against the back of the piece. Gluing - recommending Tacky PVA/White glue (ie. Aleene's Original Tacky Glue in North America). Apply glue with a toothpick and evenly spread a thin layer of it on a tab.
Use tweezers if tabs are small/too difficult to reach with fingers. Some have had good results with hot glue, especially on larger models - it is quick to set and won't cause the kinds of issues that 'wet' glues have (paper rippling, ink smearing). Useful Resources:.

Thanks to our pals over at, who've been distributing Bandai Namco collectibles in North America, we got to tinker around with a pair of snap-together articulated plastic model kits based on Optimus Prime, beloved leader of the Autobots, and Voltron: Legendary Defender of the Universe who is more legendary for being made out of five robot cat vehicles driven by teenagers. The Optimus Prime Furai model kit is from Flame Toys, designed by 3D modeling studio TRGGER, and is based on his hyper-stylized appearance in the pages of IDW's Transformers comics. This Transformers kit doesn't actually transform, which is just asking for snarky comments, but the kit's design and articulation allows for some really badass poses.

The Voltron kit, meanwhile, is fully transformable between robot and lion form. This kit comes from Bandai's Shokugan Super Minipla line (which also made awesome Power Rangers Megazord and Dragonzord kits that ) and is very impressive when fully assembled, both as a man-shaped robot, and as five robot-shaped cats. Both kits are snap-together, so absolutely no glue is required for assembly. Most of the parts come molded in their appropriate colors, with stickers for details, so paint is fully optional. Has an MSRP of $35.99 while can be yours for around $60, and both are available on Amazon. If you've ever built a Gundam model kit, both these kits are a similar experience. If you're new to model kits entirely, they're basically like messier LEGO sets with a higher risk of stabbing yourself in the finger.
For some basic pointers, has some great tutorials. If you are inclined to paint your kits, the Optimus Prime would probably be a lot easier to customize, as the joints all fit together with poly-caps. Voltron has a lot of plastic-on-plastic joints that could get easily gummed up by a sloppy paint job, a mistake I made when assembling the Power Rangers kits.
