Hi. When the end of the video happens and we get to see the film set, youtube overlays the "next videos to choose from" over the top so we really don't get to see them.

I remember walking around my house with a ruler and copying my house into MS paint, 1 pixel per inch and printing them out and making mini papercrafts like this. Miss the days where I had zero responsibilities

Sankei also does recreations of some of the architecture of buildings from Studio Ghibli movies and many other Studio Ghibli related kits! I've already made three of them and I love all of them. I still have two in the WIP stage though, so this has got me a bit more excited to go back and resume them!

HLJ is probably the easiest and cheapest way. I've used them for so many different kits, ranging from gundam to papercraft to make your own candy sushi. But that's not all they have, it's a great place, just keep in mind shipping is a bit and it will be for a reason, but it's a great company.

@@travis650 Ordered once from them YEARS ago when the dollar was strong. Come to think of it I still have some of the unbuilt kits somewhere . . .

1:220 is "Z" scale in model railroading. The smallest commercial scale for model trains. I use Kayte's method of dispensing glue, but I used an upturned shot glass for precision application of yellow glue or super thin ACC. The glass is easy to clean after the glue dries. Those micro brushes have many uses applying glues, plastic solvent and lubes. Paper models can be a lot nicer than you might think

There's also T-Gauge at 1:450; although it's not nearly as well established as the larger scales. The growing community around it looks to be using paper models and 3d-printing in addition to traditional methods

This is Z gauge :) N is 1:160 or 1:148 mainly used in the UK, something about their trains being to small in 1:160 couldn't get the motors to fit back in the day, so they made it 1:148, but kept the 9mm track width.

Love every video with Kayte. Watch them with my daughter who really loves crafting and making!

That PVA adhesive is the exact same type and brand used for book restoration and binding. Awesome stuff.

I love putting together Sankei paper models!

Yes, we need more youtube channels showing people doing card modling! I'd love to have more information on where we can find more kits, either like this, or like the old cut & assemble books from when I was much younger.

All hail the mighty, yet humble, paper material in all its forms! I love building papercraft models... Depending on the model, and how you finish it (especially if you paint it); it's fun to play the game "guess what this model is made from"....

Really nailed that PBS vibe on this one 🙂. Kinda brightened my day ❤️

beautifully detailed kits i love the different textures that really makes them pop

The glue is made by Lineco especially for book binders. It's thicker than PVA glue like Elmer's Glue All because it has less water. This makes it ideal for paper as it won't cause the paper to wrinkle as it dries. A little goes a long way. Apply it sparingly and use pressure for a strong bond.

These are super cool! Thanks for letting us know about these kits!

These kits are so cute! Nice to watch you two constructing them!

This youtube channel always results in me spending more money.

Ha, those look so good. Thanks Norm & Kate!

I was given my Laputa Sankei kit by my Japanese model maker friend after our visit to the studio Ghibli museum!

Making models out of paper and glue is very satisfying! Watching you do it is pretty fun too!

These kits look like so much fun! Might have to snap some up as well. Perfect to build while at home instead of at my shop.

These are cool little buildings!

Very nice chilled video, thank you! Loved it.

Ok these are freaking cool! I think I'm gonna have to give this a try! 😍

beautiful!

Well done guys! 👍

the Japanese have some of the best paper models around, I've built two now. Like you, I was impressed with the quality of the card stock. And, yes, it's very satisfying once you are done. You can't help but to stand back and look at your handy work. very nice models you guys made! thanks for sharing!

Awesome! 😊❤️

The things you can do with paper is insane

Would absolutely love to do one of these of the Fujiwara Tofu Shop from Initial D!!!

You should design one for a Tardis. The layered pieces would make the POLICE BOX sign, the door panels and the windows really pop.

@11:47 Thank the makers... For a moment I thought the roof would have those visible joints 😮

I've made a few of these before. They are super high quality and pretty easy to assemble. The downside is that they are pretty pricey and even small ones will set you back about 20-30$ a model.

My guess is that both Z and N scale reason for being so popular in Japan, is the space requirements makes it a lot easier to have some trains running, these buildings though are really nice sets, its crazy how much better the quality for boths scale have gone up the last couple of years

There is a large community of paper/ card modelers. If you are interested goggle free paper models or paper models.

I was wandering why you guys never tried to build the 1/220 kits that I've sent back in 2015 (Dorothy's house & the Firewatch tower)

Can yall do a video on lighting workspace? If love papercraft but I found my home office lighting (mostly very dim and up high for 9-10 hours daily on the computer) insufficient.

They look amazing and fun but what do you do with something that small when your done?

this guy talks like my physics teacher

This would be good terrain for my Battletech games! Do they have building that are a bit more futuristic?

The 'Kei' in the name is representative for small, as in the Kei cars of minute engine cc.

I know its far fetched but can we get Adam to either build an paint some 40k models or get him to play a game of MTG commander?

And they make Studio Ghibli ones.

well, I think I've found a new hobby haha

Do they make a version slightly bigger than that? I will need a surgical magnifier just to look at the details! I remember you have a laser cutter, can you make one from scratch?

How long did they take to make? I'm totally sucked in, I ordered a pile. Thinking of having some friends over and make them.

To each their own, but I find cutting all the pieces out at once gives room for confusion and mix-ups. A lesson learned from Gunpla

I was interested in trying these out but they are ridiculously expensive for something made out of paper. I build Metal Earth type kits all the time and these are cheaper and made of metal. I can't see why these papercraft kits cost so much. Yes they are imports, but most everything we get in the USA is imports, especially electronics and these are not marked up so high.
