★ Description
The Igloo is a type of snow house or hut that is build by the Eskimo people. This model is part of my Winter theme that I'm working on. The assembled igloo has double walls so you could put a some source of a light in it and it would generate a gently glow from withing. I do have a bigger versions, so if you want them, please contact me. This one has the following size:
★ Dimensions
The models is:
350 x 302 x 171 mm
which equals
13.8 x 11.9 x 6.7"
It is made out of 21 pieces laid out on 14 sheets of Letter or A4 paper. The model would take you no less than 3 hours to make and it is pretty simple.
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.
