Toy Building Tips. Shown above are the tools used most often for RavensBlight toy projects. They include: Elmers glue, scissors, a cheap plastic utility knife (when an 'X-acto knife' is called for, a small utility knife will work great), a ruler (metal with a cork backing works best), a black marker, Scotch tape, and a cutting board (available at hobby shops, usually not very expensive). Some projects only need a few of the above tools, while others require a few additional items (such as toothpicks, cardboard, or other common household items). I've found glue sticks, like the one shown above, to be VERY helpful.
They're much less messy than a bottle of glue, and they also speed the assembly up a bit. When cutting out parts, especially those with complex shapes, it's often handy to just cut around the general area first. Folding can be done much more accurately if you 'score' the fold line before folding. To make your project look nicer, you can use a marker to darken the edges of the parts. Paperanimations.
