FAQ: How Much Time Does it Take to Build Airigami Models?

 
 
Airigami has always been designed to balance accessibility with realism. We are constantly seeking to evolve the basic design principles of Airigami to increase detail and accuracy whilst at the same time ensuring that our designs are not too complicated or time-consuming to build.

We are constantly dazzled by remarkably detailed paper models designed and constructed by incredibly talented designers. Airigami is intended to be as detailed and realistic as possible yet published in a standardized and easy-to-share format that is straightforward for most people of all ages to build.

The time required varies by model type — for example, four-engined aircraft take longer to build than two-engined aircraft. After a little bit of practice, we estimate that an Airigami model should take between one to two hours to construct. In so doing, we trust that Airigami will remain accessible to all ages … though for our youngest builders we recommend seeking some adult assistance, particularly when using scissors or an Exacto knife to cut out the designs.
