Hi Colin! Welcome to the forum. Thanks for joining. If I may, suggest you put the Nordic on the back burner for a bit and get some practice on some simpler models such as the animals at the Canon website Paper Craft - Canon Creative Park . You need to get a few successful models under your belt and get used to the medium of paper. It's completely different than plastic, wood, foam, etc and has its' own traits and peculiarities. Also when you do start work on the Nordic, before you make the first cut, scan all the pages first then build the scanned version first. That way, when, not if, you make a mistake just print out that page and do it again until you get it right. That way you haven't ruined your (probably expensive) printed model. We're glad you're here. Welcome aboard!
