1) there are extra pieces, unused pieces, throughout the model, don't
get nervous that you have left over, feel free to add/delete detail as 
needed.  Some minor panels have not been completed, use scrap copper plating
printed paper (there should be plenty) to fabricate them.  I believe the 
only ones missing are very small, simple rectangles/trapezoids/tabs, to fill
some gaps.  

2) the model pictures supplied are in building order alphebetically (sp?) 
refer to them as a building guide.  More step by step pictures are available at:

3) I built most of the model out of 65lb cardstock, but the barbs, small detail
and windows were all printed on regular paper stock 20-24lb.  

4) The squid was printed on cardstock, and the second copy of part 6 was 
printed on pink cardstock. The second part 6 is attached to the first part 
6 backwards, to form the outside of the head.

5) Parts A,B,C, and D were ad-hoc.  A is the top
part of the head, it is just a circle cut bigger than the diameter of the
second part 6, rolled into a flat cone and used as a top.  B is a spade shaped
fin for the back.  I made four of them using the squid paper printed on bright
yellow cardstock, this gave the fins a glowing hue slightly diffrent than the
shell, neat effect.  The shell parts 1-6 were on regular white cardstock.  
Since the head was printed on Pink Cardstock, it had a slightly different hue
than the shell as well.  Part D is the beak, I cut it out of yellow
cardstock paper. It is a simple rolled tall cone, and then trangular wedges 
were cut into it, and the tips of the beak folded to make it mean looking.  

6) there are two types of tentacles, the short ones that taper off, and two
long ones that end with part C, a spade shaped paddle.  For the short ones, 
I printed the squidpaper on pink cardstock and cut out long squiggles that 
taper off.  I then drew little circles on the pink side for the suckers.  
For the long ones, I printed the squidpaper on both sides of a piece of 
cardstock, and made longer squiggles and added the paddles at the end.  
I put circles on one side of the paddles.  


Enjoy!!!!
