Have a look at Professor Yoshinobu Miyamoto paper models - they are something else!

Task 7  Paper "Sketch Model"

Sketching without drawing?

​

Yes now we will explore a technique to create forms by making3D models with just paper and glue. Using the paper supplied fold, cut, scrunch, tear, crease it to create a model within the confines of the boxboard base supplied. You can glue the paper together as well as gluing it to the base to create whatever you can think of.

​

You need to make 3 models - one model per base board supplied. Keep your model within the footprint of the baseboard.
