Papercraft World

Papercraft Vintage Computers - Commodore 64!

2010-10-03T16:46:00.000-07:00

Like Erik Schubach, I too grew up in the early days of video gaming. I certainly look back on those days with rose colored glasses as if I fire up a game in mame that I spent a million hours obsessing over when I was 10, it looks and plays like absolute crap. I'm just being honest here! But... there's still some magic there that makes you feel all happy and warm inside.

Erik obviously loves some of these old machines with a passion as he has gone ahead and done the world a great service by recreating them in paper craft form. Big ups to you Erik!

Here they are...

Tattooed Elephant Paper Model

2010-10-01T11:09:00.000-07:00

I like tattoos, elephants and papercraft so it should be no surprise to anyone that i'm featuring a tattooed papercraft elephant on here. This is a simple structural model but what makes it a keeper is the intricate artwork that has been lovingly created. Grab it here.

Virgin Mary Papercraft

2010-10-01T11:00:00.000-07:00

Papercraft food + Foosball table and other neat crafty things

2010-09-23T16:55:00.000-07:00

If you are an avid reader of this site, you will have noticed that I really like ordinary things made out of paper. Yeah robots, gundams, video game characters, guns and so on are all great, but there is something really cool about making everyday stuff from paper. This site is a great example. We've got a kitchen set with scales, a toaster and a cup etc.. Then a camping set with a tent and a bbq. A picnic set, a bunch of biscuits, a pretty sweet car thing (my son would love that) and holy crap a working foosball table made entirely out of paper. Very nice!

Grab them all here, just look for the pdf icon links and enjoy.

Japan is just a click away!

Batman Papercraft + Superhero Arts and Crafts!

2010-09-23T13:53:00.000-07:00

Batman has alway been a favorite superhero of mine, while growing up I always had my foot firmly planted in the Marvel comics camp, The Avengers, Spider-man etc... But my secret shame among my fellow Marvel aficionados was the odd Batman comic, that and the camp sixties TV Show played constantly when I was a kid. Anyways Paperollies has a pretty awesome Batman papercraft for you in his amazing series of SuperPaperMen which you can grab here.

If Superman is more your cup of tea then you can grab him here. Check the homepage too for some other great paper model goodies

2010-09-08T00:13:00.000-07:00

Late to the party as usual I only started watching Full Metal Alchemist in the last couple of months. It's a damn fine anime (and I presume excellent manga).

Fallout 3 Papercrafts

2010-04-22T12:45:00.000-07:00

It took me a while to come around to buying Fallout 3 - I've never been a big WRPG fan and the game slipped under my rader as an oblivion with guns clone, it wasn't until I started watching some videos on youtube that I realised the game might be an improvement on the Bethesda formula, so I traded in a couple of games and brought the sucker. I'm glad I did, it ended up being one of my most played games of all time. Now with Fallout New Vegas on the horizon I need something to occupy my cravings for more Fallout goodness and this collection of papercraft will do just that

Fallout Alien Blaster Papercraft
Fallout Combat Shotgun (one of my favorite weapons)
Megaton Bomb (did you blow the sucker up?)
Fallout 3 Ammo
Bobblehead Charisma Papercraft
Bobblehead Speech Papercraft

Have I missed any? Let me know...

Papercraft Animal Crossing Character

2009-03-05T22:29:00.000-08:00

My experience with Animal Crossing goes back to the Gamecube version. I lived with 3 other people - we were all hopelessly addicted to Animal Crossing. I remember coming home one day to find that one of the flatmates had cut down half the trees in the town. After a heated argument the Gamecube was moved into my room.

Animal Crossing is the most addictive game I have ever played, it consumes your life for months and months and then one day you stop, realise how silly the game is and you never play it again... Although I have been thinking about picking up the DS version lately...

Grab a pretty cool Animal Crossing Paper Model here and good luck with your addiction!

Atlus' Persona Papermodels

2009-03-01T15:18:00.000-08:00

If you are tired of JRPG cliches - girly looking men - generic 'save the world from the bad guy X' plots and an abundance of clothes with tons of zippers on them, then the Persona Megami Tensei games are going to be right up your alley (generally anything from the house of Atlus will be really). Great stories, likeable characters, fantastic music and grindingly good gameplay.

Of course being a Papercraft blog you've come looking for some persona paper models right? Well have I got a treat for you go here and fold and glue to your rpg loving heart is content.

2008-01-29T22:35:00.000-08:00

Wow, Valentines Day isn't far away! As a recently married man I need to be on my A game this year :) So over the next couple of weeks I'm going to do my best to find the best papercraft and paper related goodies that you can make that special person in your life this year.

Japanese Ship Papercrafts

2008-01-29T22:10:00.000-08:00

You have got to love Japanese corporations approach to Papercraft, it almost seems like every business has to have a papercraft or two of their product or service, case in point check out the ships on the NYK site, I'm guessing these guys are ship builders?

Nice Models for the seafarers out there. Grab them here

C3PO paper model

2008-01-28T19:07:00.000-08:00

Now you can be just like Anakin Skywalker and build your own C3PO model :) One of my favourite characters from the Star Wars universe, C3PO always seemed to be stressed about something and got dragged from one adventure to another with his various owners. A great looking C3PO paper model is available from this site.

Don’t forget to check out the homepage of this site for some more excellently constructed models to download.

Paper Models of Transformers

2008-01-27T22:28:00.000-08:00

Although I really enjoyed the recent Transformers movie on the big screen, after watching it again on DVD I couldn't help feel somewhat disillusioned by Hollywood's treatment of an eighties classic, what if they had kept things simple like the good ol' days? Where's Soundwave! Where's Megatron turning into a freaking handgun? In desperation for nostalgia, I went in hunt of some Transformers papercrafts that represented the true school of Transformers and oh boy did I hit the motherload! You can check them out here, a truly impressive collection of Paper Transformers - Let's hope there is even more to come, I can only imagine the possibilities!

Papercraft V12 Engine

2008-01-27T22:11:00.000-08:00

Via BoingBoing comes this incredible paper model of a V12 4 stroke engine, from the site:

"Each of 12 spark plugs (LEDs) is ignited accordingly to the moving cycle. Many moveable parts include a compound crankshaft, a rapid cooling fan, 12 rods and 12 pistons etc. It is made with paper entirely (except some little wood sticks, some tapes, some LEDs, some electrical wires, some switches, a motor and a battery holder."

It's an incredible creation that took two years to design and now it can be yours! For what I think is a pretty reasonable price for something that so much love has gone into designing.

You can check it out here

Paper Dolls House

2008-01-09T15:13:00.000-08:00

AirWolf Paper Model

2008-01-09T15:02:00.000-08:00

Ah the eighties, everyone had a cool vehicle in the eighties – Magnum PI had his Ferrari, the A-Team had their van, Knight Rider had Kitt, Bj and the Bear had their mack truck, even Macgyver had his house boat. But probably the coolest TV vehicle to come out of that crazy decade would have had to been Airwolf - I mean it's a freaking supersonic military helicopter.

Show that you are a true child of the eighties with a fantastic Airwolf Papercraft.

Grab it here

Battletech Mad Cat Paper Model

2008-01-07T15:03:00.000-08:00

Dragonball Z Papercraft

2007-12-11T09:57:00.000-08:00

Well, Mr. Satan/Hercule and Majin Buu to be precise. They have been created by Mike McDermott - Does that name sound familiar? Well it should, he is the same clever chap that created the Halo Master Chief papercraft featured here (and just about everywhere on the net) not that long ago. I really like Mike's papercraft and I really like Dragonball Z, so these have made my day :)

Excuse my ignorance on these models, but I have no idea what they are from, where they are from or what they are all about, they are pretty extra special cute papercrafts though, I know that much! there's 3 in total - all in PDO format - they look pretty complicated so maybe not to good for beginners!

Star Trek is a great television series, some would say the greatest television series ever! Well, who am I to argue? I've always had a soft spot for Kirk and crew, Picard and his shipmates hold their own pretty well too.

Paper Model Tank

2007-11-25T23:02:00.000-08:00

These are a really nice looking set of papercraft tanks from Sega, after a bit of sleuthing I am pretty confident that it comes from the Dreamcast game; Advanced Daisenryaku 2001 and to be honest, the very little I do know about this game is from the fountain of knowledge itself, Wikipedia:

Advanced Daisenryaku 2001 is a follow up to SystemSoft Alpha's Advanced Daisenryaku: Europe no Arashi. Both games run on Sega's Dreamcast system. Advanced Daisenryaku 2001 fixed some bugs and moderately improved the graphics of Europe no Arashi and as such it is less of a sequel and more of a fix.

Grab the papercraft here. (Sadly I can only find the link to one of awesome looking tanks :( If anybody has any luck locating the rest on the site let me know!)

Silent Hill Papercraft

2007-11-25T22:34:00.000-08:00

You can find an impressive paper chicken to download and build here. Yum!

George Bush Papercraft

2007-09-24T02:32:00.000-07:00

Of all the things to make a paper model out of, the people at Recortables.net have created a hilarious President of the United States papercraft - ol' chimpy McGee himself - bloodied axe and world in hand, that's not all there is to find at this great little papercraft site though, we also have a (very evil looking) Pope Benedict model, the King of Spain, the Prime Minister of Spain and of course Osama Bin Laden (which sadly doesn't seem to be available for download yet).

Halo Papercraft

2007-09-18T17:04:00.000-07:00

Grab it the Halo Papercraft here

Chocobo Papercraft

Sane Person's papercraft has been mentioned here before, it seems as though a nice little update has been added since I last looked at the site, this time it's a Chocobo Paper Model. Sweet! if you don't know what a Chocobo is, Wikipedia has a lot of information on the yellow birds:

A Chocobo is a fictional large, normally flightless galliforme/ratite bird capable of being ridden and is a staple of the Final Fantasyseries. While ordinary Chocobos are yellow, certain rare breeds are of different colors and have special abilities, such as crossing mountains or flight.

Grab it here, along with some over great Final Fantasy paper models.

Paper Model Treasure Chest

2007-09-12T18:11:00.000-07:00

If you have played a Japanese Roleplaying game, you will more than likely have come across treasure chests. I always greedily rush over to open them and find the goodies inside. The thing is you never know what the damn things will contain, sometimes it's a potion or a new weapon, sometimes it's a trap chest, you open it and lo and behold it comes alive and attacks you, mocking your greediness.

This papercraft seems to understand the issues surrounding treasure chests (and my greed) and gives you the option of building it with or without the monster!

Grab it here.

Skull Paper Model

2007-09-12T18:00:00.000-07:00

The Skull-a-day site is a pretty simple premise for a blog - a skull - a day, pretty cool idea huh? Of course at some point you know a Papercraft would work it's way into the mix and it's a nice one at that, the jaw even moves :)

Grab it here and if you want even more paper skull goodness, check this link.

Amazing Bumblebee Model

2007-08-30T17:22:00.000-07:00

Whats great about this page is that you can see the entire process of the model's creation from start to finish. Awesome and very inspiring!

Contra Paper Model

2007-08-30T17:05:00.000-07:00

Contra from the amazing folks at Konami was first released way back in 1987, it's a classic side scrolling, shoot em up game with what I always found was immense difficulty and boss battles that were over the top in the best possible way! Contra 4 is soon to come to my favorite handheld gaming device the Nintendo DS as well, sweet!

Final Fantasy Papercraft

2007-06-27T17:06:00.000-07:00

The Final Fantasy series are some of the best rpgs on the market, from the NES to the Playstation 2, the games have always delivered.

The iconic game in the series would have to be Final Fantasy 7 though, it's reached cult status. The characters were great, the story was epic, the gameplay damn impressive, it blew away everybodies perceptions of what a role playing game could be when it first came out and ensured that a Playstation One was a necessary purchase.

Why not reminisce about Cloud, Aeris and crew with some awesome Final Fantasy Paper Models?
