Dragonball Z Papercraft



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 :)


You can grab Majin Buu here and Hercule here, don't forget to check the rest of Mike's Deviant Art pages out, there are more impressive paper models to be found.

Some more Anime Girl Paper Models



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! Give them a go and have fun!

Paper Model Tank



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



Tubbypaws

World of Warcraft, if you have been living under a rock is the world's most popular mmorpg. It would make sense that one or two papercrafts exist of characters from the game right?

George Bush Papercraft



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).

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



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




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



I'm not normally one to post a model that you my dear reader can not download and build yourself, but occasionally I come across something so special I've simply got to share and this papercraft definitely falls into the special category.

Contra Paper Model



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!

Subway Car Paper Model



I think this is awesome idea, a blank subway car paper model for you to download and then draw, design, bomb or just scribble away on. This would be great for Graffiti artists to practice on before they go out for the night to have a paint ; )

Who is Brickboy?

Final Fantasy Papercraft


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?

Scary Rabbit Paper Model


Rabbits aren't meant to be scary, they are cute, their ears flop around and they are fluffy and eat carrots. Right? Wrong. Everything you assumed about rabbits will be crushed by this papercraft. Look into his eyes, he is a rabbit possessed.

Ok maybe im going a bit overboard here, there are cute rabbits as well on this page, but scary rabbit is my favorite by far.

Grab him and his friends here (look for the link to the .lzh file down the bottom of the page)

I'm late to the party with this one, nothing new there, but I came across it and thought it was well worth the linkage. Wallets are overpriced, simple as that. Why not make your own out of paper? instructables.com comes to the party with 8 easy steps to creating a very cool, inexpensive wallet.

Check out the instructable instructions here

Papercraft Skeleton



This is a really nice skeleton paper model in my opinion, who would have thought that a skeleton could be described as cute? This one is : ) I have not made it yet due to... well life getting in the way of my papercrafting! But it appears you can attach string to the skeletons arms and legs and use him as a marionette. Pretty cool.

Grab the skeleton here

Domokun Papercraft

What is Domo-kun? Why is Domo-kun? Why do I want a Domo-kun Papercraft? All these questions and more can be answered by this video:



Ok maybe that didnt answer anything at all and in fact created many more questions? give the Wikipedia a crack if you are still confused. Once you feel happy that your understanding of Dom-kun is up to scratch go and download the papercraft. Go on I know you want to.

Update! Link is back up and running!

Do you love Domokun as much as I do?

Thanks Archie!

Tardis Papercraft



Since I was a kid, the idea of Doctor Who's Tardis has fascinated me. The inside of the damn thing is huge! Plus it's a time machine that looks like a British Police Box. Weird. What does Tardis stand for I hear you ask, well it is an ancroymn for: Time And Relative Dimension In Space. Fantastic. Why not build your own time machine papercraft?

You can find a nice little Tardis Paper Model here

ICO Papercraft


IGN is kind enough to host a lovely little papercraft for this interesting Playstation 2 game (watch the trailer above), I really enjoyed the brief time I played it at a friends and I still haven't managed to get my greedy little hands on it's spiritual successor Shadow of the Colossus, which looks magnificent : ) there's nothing I like more than a game that breaks pre-defined gameplay rules. Yay expermentation in a stale industry!

You can grab the Ico paper model here, and keep those fingers crossed that a Shadow of the Colossus papercraft will show up on the net one day.

Phoenix Wright took me by surprise when I first played it, a ds game with anime sensibilities, a ds game where you, the main character are a lawyer! WTF? But you know what, it works, it works all to well. I've spent countless hours literally screaming at my little white console.
