Technical features of the squirrel model
To assemble this squirrel, the model uses 17 A4 sheets, carefully distributed to reflect the animal’s natural tones:
- 13 brown sheets for the body and tail,
- 2 light brown sheets for contrast,
- 1 white sheet for facial details,
- 1 black sheet for darker elements.
Once assembled, the model reaches a balanced size that makes it clearly visible without being bulky:
- Width: 203 mm,
- Height: 350 mm,
- Depth: 365 mm.
Each step follows naturally, allowing you to build the head, body, legs, and tail separately before final assembly. The result? An expressive, stable, and surprisingly realistic squirrel that truly rewards the time spent creating it.
