Papercraft #1 - The Luggage


Entry One – The Luggage.
From Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series comes the Luggage, a magical box that runs around on hundreds of little legs.  Extremely loyal, incredibly protective and more than a little homicidal, the Luggage is iconic Discworld.
This was my first attempt at a papercraft.  Note the lid on the left side, the indentation there.  I’m using printer paper, and managed to push it in a little as I was gluing everything together.  Now short of dismantling part of it to push the dent back out, it’s the major flaw of the piece.
The template came Papercraft Paradise, and the creator was Mike Hungerford. It came with a wonderfully long and detailed list of instructions that I appreciated greatly.  I also appreciated the fact that the Luggage is in repose - none of its legs are out.  They would have been hellish.  As of 10/3 the link to the PDF is not working.
