Build Your Own Scottish Town - Eleven Architectural Papercrafts
via Doors Open Days

Eleven Scottish architectural papercraft buildings from the Cut, Fold & Build collection by Scottish Civic Trust, featuring traditional houses, historic buildings, a church and modern architecture arranged as a miniature town - via Papermau

A small Scottish town made entirely of paper. This is the idea behind Cut • Fold • Build, an interesting collection of 11 papercraft models of traditional Scottish buildings, created by the Scottish Civic Trust and made available through the Doors Open Days website.

The collection brings together different styles of Scottish architecture, from urban residential buildings and apartment blocks to medieval chapels and 17th-century houses. Each model represents a little of the country's architectural diversity and offers a fun way to discover its buildings and traditions.

The project was launched in 2020 with a simple purpose: to encourage people of all ages to explore Scotland's architectural heritage through hands-on activities.

The models were designed to be printed on A4 paper and assembled using basic materials such as scissors and glue. The sheets include cutting, folding and gluing guidelines, along with a suggested assembly sequence to make construction easier. Some models are more elaborate and require several pieces.

One interesting detail is that the models can also be customized. You can color the buildings realistically by researching their original appearance, or simply use your imagination to create completely different versions.

And, of course, there is nothing stopping you from combining all 11 buildings to create a miniature Scottish town made of paper, complete with streets, squares and other scenery elements.

The material is available for free in English and Scottish Gaelic, including printer-friendly versions. A particularly interesting collection for anyone who enjoys architecture, history, dioramas and, of course, papercraft.

Uma pequena cidade escocesa feita inteiramente de papel. Essa é a proposta do Cut • Fold • Build, uma interessante coleção de 11 modelos de construções típicas da Escócia, criada pelo Scottish Civic Trust e disponibilizada através do site Doors Open Days.

A coleção reúne diferentes estilos de arquitetura escocesa, desde edifícios residenciais urbanos e blocos de apartamentos até capelas medievais e casas do século XVII. Cada modelo representa um pouco da diversidade arquitetônica do país e oferece uma maneira divertida de conhecer suas construções e tradições.

O projeto foi lançado em 2020, com uma proposta simples: incentivar pessoas de todas as idades a explorar o patrimônio arquitetônico escocês através de atividades manuais.

Os modelos foram pensados para serem impressos em papel A4 e montados com materiais básicos, como tesoura e cola. As folhas apresentam indicações de corte, dobra e colagem, além de uma sequência sugerida para facilitar a montagem. Alguns modelos são mais elaborados e exigem várias peças.

Um detalhe interessante é que os modelos também podem ser personalizados. É possível colorir as construções de maneira realista, pesquisando suas características originais, ou simplesmente usar a imaginação para criar versões completamente diferentes.

E, naturalmente, nada impede que os 11 edifícios sejam reunidos para formar uma pequena cidade escocesa de papel, com ruas, praças e outros elementos de cenário.

O material está disponível gratuitamente em inglês e gaélico escocês, com versões próprias para impressão. Uma coleção especialmente interessante para quem gosta de arquitetura, história, dioramas e, claro, papercraft.

1922`s Twins Dress-Up Paper Doll Series - by Ladies Home Journal
Preserved and Shared by Kathleen Taylor's Dakota Dreams

These cute series of twins dress-up paper dolls were designed in 1922 by North American artist Jessie Louise Taylor for the Ladies Home Journal magazine. They have been preserved and are now kindly shared by the North American collector Kathleen Taylor of the Dakota Dreams website. 

Ladies' Home Journal was an American magazine published by the Meredith Corporation. It was first published on February 16, 1883, and eventually became one of the leading women's magazines of the 20th century in the United States. 

From 1891 it was published in Philadelphia by the Curtis Publishing Company. In 1903, it was the first American magazine to reach one million subscribers. In the late 20th century, changing tastes and competition from television caused it to lose circulation.

Sales of the magazine ensued as the publishing company struggled. On April 24, 2014, Meredith announced it would stop publishing the magazine as a monthly with the July issue, stating it was "transitioning Ladies' Home Journal to a special interest publication". 

It was then available quarterly on newsstands only, though its website remains in operation. The last issue was published in 2016.

Esta linda série de bonecas de papel dress-up de gêmeos foi projetada em 1922 pela artista norte-americana Jessie Louise Taylor para a revista Ladies Home Journal. Elas foram preservadas e são agora gentilmente compartilhadas pela colecionadora Kathleen Taylor, do site Dakota Dreams.

Ladies 'Home Journal era uma revista americana publicada pela Meredith Corporation. Foi publicada pela primeira vez em 16 de fevereiro de 1883 e, por fim, tornou-se uma das principais revistas femininas do século 20 nos Estados Unidos. 

A partir de 1891, foi publicada na Filadélfia pela Curtis Publishing Company. Em 1903, foi a primeira revista americana a atingir um milhão de assinantes. No final do século 20, a mudança de gostos e a concorrência da televisão fizeram com que ela perdesse circulação. 

As vendas da revista seguiram em queda enquanto a editora lutava para se manter. Em 24 de abril de 2014, a Meredith anunciou que iria parar de publicar a revista mensalmente com a edição de julho, afirmando que estava "fazendo a transição do Ladies 'Home Journal para uma publicação de interesse especial". 

Na época, ela estava disponível trimestralmente apenas nas bancas, embora seu site permaneça em operação. O último número foi publicado em 2016.

This very interesting paper model picturing a house of prisoners of war with two Scottish soldiers, was created in 1915 by German artist Joseph Scholz. 

The 101-year-old model somehow managed to reach our times and could be downloaded and assembled by you, thanks to SDK Online, which is the virtual version of the Dresden City Museum in Germany. 

Unfortunately the site is no longer online, but I have made a "clean" version of this template and you can download it from the link below.
