[darkdesi1234]

is the paper a scrare or a rectangle

\

[AdamsSara]

@darkdesi1234 It's a silver rectangle, so the ratio is 1 by square root of 2. This is the same ratio as A4, A5, etc paper has.

Just wondering, what is the level of difficulty on this model?

[AdamsSara]

@55lalalalala55 The most difficult part of this model is assemblying the units. Still, I'd say it's a low intermediate piece.

Sara can u make a video on how to make the a7 (74mm by 105mm please if u can thank u

[AdamsSara]

@cookiemonster123254 Check the video description for links on how to get A-sized paper. As for a video, I'll think about it.

[boombamer64]

can you use tape to hold it

[AMANIWATSON]

it took you nearly 7 fucking minets to make one 1/3 of a unit ?

[Jboyfreshify]

AdamsSara did u use tape

[31808169]

do you use card or thin paper to make silver rectangle?

[31808169]

adamssara, i can't find A size paper? please reply me



[jingkang468]

@rockonman no

[jingkang468]

if i cut an a4 sized paper both one time horizontally and vertically halfway through the paper , will i still have the same ratio

if not how can i get more pieces out of the a4 sized sheet?

[rockonman11434]

can u use square paper



[recon1283]

@cookiemonster123254 easy get a regular piece of printer paper(A4) fold in half short edge to short edge

tear/cut this is A5 repeat short to short cut/tear and this is A6 and once more repeat and cut/tear you will get A7(A7 is half of A6 witch is half of A5 witch is half of A4)

[lancewo160]

can you just fold a piece of printer paper in half 4 times
