Buildease: Low Mid High Complex
Design: Low Mid High Complex 
Inkhole: Low Mid High
Time: ~1hr
Spark Plug is a cute little paper robot that is pretty easy to build.
Alex's designs are very easy to build and almost always one piece. 
Which is an engineering feat on its own.
The steps are laid out in bold numbers and very easy to follow. 
The one complication I ran across while building were
the initial four steps. This was due to some confusion in 
which way to fold the tabs and flaps together.
Once, it was figured out, the rest fell into place.

Spark Plug's design, while it looks complex, is very simple.
The color palate is pleasing to the eye, utilizing calming colors
and very simple graphic design that play well to the Papertoys theme.
I especially like that Spark Plug is not ink intensive, so
I won't have a problem with printing out several copies.
You should print one out now, and follow along!
