This book will give you either hours of fun or hours of headaches, hopefully both. These are kind of slice-form models of famous buildings, that collapse. Extremely detailed models, plus so much detail about their construction that it is nearly overwhelming.WARNING - This book comes with a computer CD that contains all the patterns. If you buy it used, make SURE that the CD is still there or it will be just a coffee table book of nice pictures.This author is a paper fanatic, and a treasure to the art world. If you like paper art, or would like to try it, get this book, an Exacto knife and a huge supply of #11 & #17 blades (great deals on !)and get busy.I decided to do the hardest model in the book, (they are arranged in order of difficulty), and it is going to take me a couple years to finish in my spare time. There are thousands of very tiny intricate cuts to make, specially on the windows.TIP - get the #17 Exacto blades to make the windows on the last model, and possible others as well. You can just punch them out instead of cutting with a pointed blade. Saves hours! If you are in paper art, you will know what I mean.
This book is absolutely beyond amazing!You can see not only how much efforts did the author contribute to every single page but also the exceptional details presented in each page.I am in fact very surprised that this book only cost 15 dollars, I would willing to pay for this wonderful book for even 50 dollars.It does worth that much, or even beyond! If you love paper craft, this book is a must-have, even perfect for thanksgiving present or a X'mas gift!!
I bought the book because I immediately saw myself spending hours building these models when I saw the cover. What fun I thought! What a novice I am is what I actually discovered. While the CD has ALL of the templates and the book has GREAT designs and photos NOWHERE are there tips on how to cut, fold or punch any of the designs. This disappointed me greatly. For Yee to be such a paper advocate I would have thought that at least the CD would have videos, photos or even links to other resources for any of the techniques he describes. This is not a book for someone who thinks they can sit down and build one in afternoon but if you want to build some skill with paper - this could be the inspirational book for you.
Okay, this is a really, really neat book. The models range in challenge from simple to complex and cover a variety of instantly recognizable buildings from around the globe. Its not for children, as much of the work involves detailed cutting using an X-acto knife. I highly recommend it for anyone that's into paper art and paper models.
I love this book! It's a lot of fun. I suggest you make copies and leave the originals in the book. I made cad drawings from the book drawings so I can make as many copies as I want. But you could scan or copy them too. Make sure you use card stock as your paper. You can get card stock from places like Staples or OfficeMax, or any office supply store. You won't regret getting this, the instructions are easy to follow.
This is a great book, im still surprised about how little you are paying for what you are getting. The images are clear, the paper is thick and just a bit glossy, so you feel you are handling a good quality book. I just wish the instructions were a bit more detailed. It also contains a CD! Loved it.
Fascinating book and totally worth the money. The author's work is painstakingly detailed. Although I'm not likely to make the models in the book (as they're pretty huge and would take a lot of cutting), the step by step instructions and patterns still serve as a great source of inspiration for designing and constructing my own models.
This is a fabulous book! I have both of Yee's Papercraft engines, the V-Twin and V12, and this meets and exceeds my expectations. The projects require skill, and if this is your first book, buy something that will teach you the basics first. The popups are just marvelous and I can't believe they work so well!
