As part of a new series of customer interviews, today we’re joined by Owen Guerin.
His unusual paper creations caught our eye on Instagram, so we decided to find out more…
Tell us about yourself…
I’m an actor, gamer and builder. My career is in Acting, which I love. Every day is a different day with some wonderful opportunities. Console gaming is also a big hobby of mine, getting stuck into a good game, being an active participant to the story and watching events unfold. And building, turning something as simple as a piece of paper (or two) into a new trophy for the Man Cave!
‘you don’t stop playing because you grown old, you grow old because you stop playing’
What have you printed with us in the past?
With your glorious help, I’ve built a 5ft Optimus Prime. A Japanese creation called Howls Moving Castle and my current build is a 3ft Hulkbuster also with moving parts…
So far! Approx 800 A3 colour 250gsm pages in all I think.
Impressive! When did you start this hobby?
I’ve always enjoyed building things. There’s a company that sell little metal sheets that you bend and fold into creations. Being a fan of origami too I thought I’d research ‘papercraft’ as that seemed to blend the two together quite nicely. So 2016 was the year our paths met.
What has been your favourite build project to date?
Honestly I love them all for their many different reasons but I think Prime holds the top spot. He is were the joy all began. There’s a lot of detail to him too.
What are your build plans for the year ahead?
With Hulkbuster recently finished I’m already thinking of the next build. I recently ordered a papercraft Storm Trooper from Doxzoo for a friend’s birthday which he is excited about, his first papercraft.
There’s one idea I’ve found… But it’s 14ft tall I think… Very big… Green and you wouldn’t want to make him angry!
Thanks, Owen!
