Table Top Gaming Papercraft

This is a great set of models for the table top gamers out there, a nice collection of props for those epic miniature battles - there are floor plans, a couple of vehicles and my favorites - some really well done buildings. A very handy resource indeed.

Papercraft DNA

This papercraft would make a great science fair project or just something to put in your office or house, it's a paper model of Deoxyribonucleic acid or as us none science types know it - DNA. According to Wikipedia DNA is: "a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms". Grab it from this page, look for the link that says A4...

Cute and Fun Japanese Paper Models

Some rather adorable paper models are to be found here, there is tons of different papercrafts to suit everyone, pretty easy builds too by the looks of it, from a desert island to a fish to a bus - very cool. Grab them all here.

Papercraft Girl in Bikini

I still find it kind of bizarre that models like this exist :) But they do. The internet is a very large place and there is room for all sorts of things to exist and in this case it's a great looking papercraft of a girl in a bikini, and if that's not safe for your work environment there is an optional top to put on her.

There's an .lzh file about half way down the page - look for the link in blue that says LZH in the title :)

DOTA Papercraft

Washing Machine Transformer Papercraft

Jonah was kind enough to send through this great Transformer Washing Machine Papercraft (Yup it actually transforms). It certainly brought a smile to my face when I first saw it. This paper model embodies everything good about The Transformers - Robots that transform into everyday objects... and it's a Decepticon to boot ;) nice one Jonah!

Cubeecraft Papercraft

Some cute and well created paper models are available from Cubeecraft, apparently a new model every week!

Japanese Ship Papercrafts

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

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

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

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.

Paper Dolls House

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.

Battletech Mad Cat Paper Model

It's been a while since I posted a Mech papercraft so here's one for the giant robot fans :) If you don't recognise this model, here's a brief explanation from the site:

It's a nice looking model, grab it here.

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.
