Found a great resource for creating models out of paper.
On this site they list some PDF files with tutorials on how to create various models. Especially the first PDF file is a nice help for beginners like myself. Origami is another form of paper modelling. It’s looks like more complicated form than the one listed above, as it evolves a lot of intricate paper folding.
WikiPedia has the following information about Origami:
Origami (Japanese: 折り紙 oru, to fold, and kami, paper lit. “folding paper”) is the art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to create a given result using geometric folds and crease patterns. Origami refers to all types of paper folding, even those of non-Japanese origin.
Origami only uses a small number of different folds, but they can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs. In general, these designs begin with a square sheet of paper, whose sides may be different colors, and usually proceed without cutting or fastening the paper. Contrary to most popular belief, traditional Japanese origami, which has been practiced since the Edo era (1603-1867), has often been less strict about these conventions, sometimes cutting the paper during the creation of the design (Kirigami 切り紙) or starting with a rectangular, circular, triangular or other non-square sheets of paper.
