i kinda suspect everyone who’s buying the special edition alice book will consider it too precious to cut up – so, in the interests of science, i attacked my copy with scissors, to see if it is actually possible to construct the pop-up thingy – it took me two days (!) but here are the results! – it IS really tricky and not helped by the unclear instructions …so maybe not something to tackle if you don’t have much confidence – but of course it is satisfying to complete and more exciting than looking at a bunch of abstract shapes printed on sheets of card – needless t’say, use a craft knife not scissors! – and i used doublesided-tape to “glue” it together (provides a less fiddly immediate bond but no slip’n'slide adjustment for error) – also i ran a black marker over the edges, which makes it look neater – mounting the completed construction into the book cover was the most stressful part (it can stick out the bottom when folded flat so mount it high) – finally, there’s a box where you can sign and date your masterpiece when finished : )
it’s kinda too bad the pop outs could of came pre done being a special edition and all but the price would have been even higher. Not to metion the production costs. By the way, you did an awesome job!
I’m waiting mine with impatience , scissors blades are ready
Really impressive, but looks tricky. Might need two copies in case of cock-up!
