Papercraft V12 Engine

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.

AirWolf Paper Model

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.

Bunny Girl Papercraft Model

This is a pretty cute looking papercraft of a Bunny Girl - we all love Bunny Girls right? Possibly first inspired by Hugh Hefner's Playboy bunnys, Japan has taken the concept and run with it, Japanese Bunny Girls seem to show up all over the place - from games to anime - Bunny girls for the win.

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

Papercraft Roast Chicken

I love strange and unusual papercrafts, I really do. Some of the strangest papercrafts out there are of everyday objects such as food. The papercraft steak has been mentioned here before and while I do love a steak dinner, sometimes a roast chicken is just what the doctor ordered. You can find an impressive paper chicken to download and build here. Yum!

Back after a break

Woah, no updates for a while! I've been vactioning on a tropical island for the last two weeks and haven't had much time for papercraft or blogging, I was to busy drinking cocktails and soaking up the sun! There's been plenty of fantastic paper models floating around the internet in my absence which I will be adding to the site this week, fear not paper modellers, I'm back with a vengeance!
