Keep on working! You are doing good so far from what I see! Just be careful of warping(Lop siding)! That really gets in the way.

it's a arts and crafts type of glue commonly used in elementary school so it doesn't dry as quickly and its a lot less stronger than super glue so i wouldn't imagine it being much of an improvement from super glue.

Elmer's Glue, or pretty much any PVA-based glue, is deceptively strong. The paper will give before the glue does. As I mentioned earlier, I've been using Elmer's for every pep build I've done, with no issues. I can't promote this stuff enough. It's inexpensive, easy to use, non-toxic, and it won't stick your fingers together, leave a nasty residue or burn you.

yeah it is strong just prefer the super glue that i use because it dries within 10-15 seconds is you hold it still.

Same thing with Elmer's if you don't glob it on too heavily, but to each his own.

Wow this process would drive me insane. Keep it up it looks pretty good so far.

yeah its easy to do in general but it takes a bit to get used to because once you see 2d paper go to a life size 3d prop you feel a genuine sense of accomplishment in a way.

I do have a question, did you size/scale it beforehand? If you did, what were the original dimensions and was and how much you increased/decreased it?
