Although it’s been years since I’ve done much papercraft to speak of, it’s always been a craftform that’s fascinated me. When I was a kid, I used to get those Dover Publication papercraft books, of castles and other historical buildings, and I’d spend countless hours cutting, folding, and gluing. I made an entire Medieval castle and village as a D&D miniature setting. I still have a couple of the buildings, now shabby with age, but they give me little memory tickles, of the countless hours each one represents. They are now part of our family “Island of Misfit Toys,” a mantle display of broken, but not forgotten, bits of Christmases past we venerate each year.
