Neat arcade machine papercrafts that you can do!
Ever wanted to have your own arcade shop? Of course you did. Now you have the chance! These cutouts may be made of paper and not from actual circuit boards but at least they’re more fun to look at than the images we can only see on our computer screens or magazines.
Papercrafts aren’t just about making the basic scrapbooking stuff like flower cutouts. They’ve come a long way in providing amusement to people who appreciate them, and these intricately-designed arcade machines are living proof.
Below are papercraft designs that computer, video game, and sci-fi enthusiasts will truly love. Are you a big Street Fighter Fan? You can make your own machine that looks exactly like the one from the early 90’s. If you love Pac-Man (which you do), you can also find a design for that! There’s even a template for making an arcade-like slot machine. Arcade-inspired slots are getting pretty popular, so it’s a good idea to make papercraft versions as gifts for people who appreciate them!
Making sure it was centered and then taped the entire thing onto a cardboard box, (don't cover up the letters). I used a silver metallic spray paint and sprayed several layers. Let dry, then pull all the tape off the panel. You will then score a line 1/2' down from the top, all the way across to help it bend when it's pushed open. Step 1: The Coins. For this step get your coins you want to sort (decided not to go with the £5 coin!) and lay them over a piece of cardboard in order from smaller to largest. Use a pencil to draw around the top of the coin. Then draw a line 1-3mm from the bottom of the cardboard all the way across. Draw boxes around the marks making sure the top line is touching the coin mark at the top as shown in picture. Step 1: Take Cardboard Pieces of the Given Measurements and Glue Them Together As Shown. Step 2: Take 3 Cardboard Pieces of the Given Measurements and Glue Them As Shown. Make Markings at 4cm and Then 2.5 Cm As Shown. Step 3: Take a Square Cardboard Piece of 6cm With a 2cm Square Hole. Place It As Shown.
The papercraft templates look complicated but they’re really not. All you have to do is use a very sharp cutter or pair of scissors, and follow the fold patterns. Make sure that your printer can print the littlest of details, though, and your printouts are scaled to fit the paper size.
