Some enthusiasts also use paper crafts or perdurable to do life-sized props starting by making the craft, covering it with resin and painting them. Due to the nature of the paper medium, the model may be sealed with varnish or filled with spray foam to last longer. Some enthusiasts may enhance the model by painting and detailing. In this kind of modeling the sections are usually pre-painted, so there is no need to paint the model after completion.

The parts are usually glued together with polyvinyl acetate glue ('white glue', 'PVA'). More frequently the printed parts must be cut out. Sometimes the model pieces can be punched out. Papercraft is the art of combining these model types to build complex creations such as wearable suits of armor, life size characters, and accurate weapon models. These pieces would be cut out, folded, scored and glued together. Card modeling is making scale models from sheets of cardstock on which the parts were printed, usually in full color. Origami is the process of making a paper model by folding a single paper without using glue or cutting while the variation kirigami does. This may be considered a broad category that contains origami and card modeling.

Once again wear your respirator, bondo gives off toxic fumes. By the way you will need a non-porous surface to mix the bondo on. To mix don't just stir it, fold it and smear it. Let me tell you it takes a lot of sanding, anyway to mix your bondo take a blob about the size of a golf ball and put a pea-sized amount of hardener and then mix. What I recommend is that you just do it the normal way which is covering in bondo and then sanding. However there was one piece that I covered in cheesecloth and then in bondo, witch did seem to work well, but was rather unnecessary to do it like that, but since the piece was already covered in the cheesecloth I tried it. At first I like this because spackle is much easier to sand than bondo, but the problem is that spack cracks very easy, so I do not recommend this method. Then I covered the cheesecloth with spackle.

I took layers of cheesecloth and glued them on by mixing glue and water and brushing it on. For this step I tried using a different method which really didn't work as well as I had hoped.
