    I dunno if anyone has ever visited this site before, but it is very awesome. Build your favorite Pokémon as a 3D Paper model. I've already made Wartortle and starting on today's new Poké: Seviper (shiny version of course :D)

    I love papercraft, but I also hate it... :):(
    Takes so long to cut the templates for them, and assembling them it's so easy to stuff it up!


    Plus they don't have Mewtwo done yet :(

    It seems like it could be fun but I don't have that kind of dexterity in my sausage fingers and would probably get pokerage at the paper.

    The main thing is to remain calm, and put the model to one side if you start feeling the Grrrr. The worst part is when the glue starts to dry and not actually stick the pieces together and you don't realise it until the model falls over and comes apart after 4 hours of work. Or when you resort to superglueing the bits together and before you know it, you've glued yourself to the model ¬_¬

    As for the sausage fingers thing, use chopsticks, DS stylus or (my tool) bamboo skewer to push small tabs together or push out tiny fiddly bits.

    EDIT: Found a Mewtwo it's not a PaperPokés one, but looks really easy to built as it's only one page:
