Arctic Fox - Papercraft Pattern - DIY Origami model - Downloadable PDF template

The Arctic Fox (Polar Fox) papercraft model is a part of a series of models, part of a winter theme that I've done. It is a symmetrical model made in real life size.

★ Dimensions

The models is:

60 x 36.1 x 11.4 cm

which equals

23.6 x 14.2 x 4.5"

It is made out of 73 pieces laid out on 12 sheets of Letter or A4 paper. The model would take you no less than 4 hours to make, so I'm not advising to be assembled by kids or novice in this type of papercraft.

You could print them out of 120 - 130 gsm cardstock or to make it nice and sturdy or in other words, something that is around one and half times heavier than a regular printer paper.


★ Quick Tips:

- If you want the fold lines and the edge ID's to end up inside of the model and not be visible, just switch the directions of valley and mountain folds (opposite of what is written in the manual).

- Always pre-score the fold lines. That makes them easier to fold and the creases are better looking. Generally they improve a lot the final look of the model.

- If you are using glue - it is better to use a slow setting one. That way you would have enough time to adjust the pieces. It is a good idea to glue one tab at a time. I use a toothpick to spread the glue on the tap.

These days I've started to use think double sided tape and I could say the results are much better and it is a lot easier to work with it than glue.

- Be patient. It usually takes longer than you've expected but seeing the finished model is very fulfilling.
