Here are links that may be of interest to any who are interested in building cardboard models.

I recommend this guy's YouTube videos if you want to learn the basics of cutting cardboard properly:



Here are two brief articles I recommend reading; they are about architecture modeling, but the general rules apply to building cardboard toys. (The first article says not to use box cutters, but ignore that since it's talking about building architecture models!)

https://youngarchitect.com/2014/03/3...ecture-models/
How to Make Impressive Architectural Models? Your complete guide - Arch2O.com

This guy has been building Star Wars vehicles out of cardboard for 3.75" a lot longer than I ever have. He built most of the Clone Wars era vehicles, and they are amazing. He also built his own U-Wing around the same time I was building mine. Seeing his work motivated me to up my game, adding more details to my U-Wing and building out its interior. If you are building your own U-Wing from my kit, this is the guy you have to thank for inspiring me to keep at it.

Here's another Star Wars vehicle builder to check out for inspiration. He builds ships for the 6" figures, and his building material of choice is styrene (plastic sheets mostly used for architecture models):

So you want to build your own U-Wing, but need a 3.75" Cassian figure (the one that comes with Hasbro's U-Wing) -- but you don't want to have to buy Hasbro's U-Wing and you can't find that Toys R Us exclusive two-pack with Cass and a Stormtrooper? This seller is selling spare Cassian figures that came from the factory in China that produced Hasbro's U-Wing.
