DarekPages@papiracky Cool model. If you could provide a scale, I'd know the difficulty level. I know bending cardboard in a circular motion is difficult because it breaks easily. Is this your design?
@darekpages It's 1:33, so a fairly easy model given the limited details. It's a kit, from a polish publisher WAK, not my design: https://www.wak.pl/focke-wulf-fw-190f-8-p-2364.html
Also, it's an offset print, so no problems with cracking or peeling of the colors.

@papiracky Because my paper (200g/m2) doesn't bend nicely (scale 1/50), so I did it this way.
@darekpages nice! I think most of the kits I build are 160g/m2 (0.25mm thick) and they bend fairly well. Using the right printer tech also helps a lot (laser is usually pretty bad for folding).
@papiracky 160g/m² paper is easier to shape by bending. However, 200g/m² creates quite stiff and thick structures. Forming and bending would require a flat, soft rubber sheet with a suitable roller to achieve a nice, rounded shape. My models are not scale models, but sometimes resemble reality. I print with ink, primarily on Mondi paper.
