Hello everybody!
I'm completely new here and this is my first post so please forgive me if I make any mistakes or am asking in the wrong sub-forum.
I am really interested in designing and making paper models. Now I can do that for objects that have mostly straight and planar surfaces. (e.g. I had made a paper model of the Nintendo Entertainment System). But when it comes to curves and arches I am completely stumped!
I know there are quite a few softwares out there that can take a 3D model and put it onto a flat paper that I can print out and cut and join. But I don't want to do it that way. (I'm not very good with computers anyway! LOL!)
Basically I want to make this cardboard car of Cruella DeVil that was used in the 101 Dalmatians cartoon. I have literally no idea where to start. How do I plot the various curved sections correctly on paper? How can I measure such shapes correctly?
If such methods/tips/techniques have been already discussed/posted here in the forums then please direct me to them.
I would greatly greatly appreciate any sort of advice/suggestion/explanation as to how I can go about plotting/drawing this car's design on paper.
Thank you so much!
