Poseable Toy Robot Papercraft

It is not every day that you see a papercraft model that is as poseable as this toy robot, so I was really impressed when I came across this little fellow. The creation of Japanese designer, Toki, this papercraft may be downloaded at the Pepakura gallery website here and is only available in Pepakura's PDO format. Judging by the template, it appears that the finished robot is less than 7" (17.8 cm) tall. Detailed photographic instructions are included in the download, although the text is in Japanese only.

MechWarrior 4 Cargo Truck Papercraft

Here's another papercraft from the guys at the Mech3.org forum. This MechWarrior 4 cargo truck was 3D modeled, texture mapped, and unfolded by forum member "SHIFTDEL". Available in Pepakura PDO format only, the template may be downloaded here. Building this 1:40 scale model looks to be relatively simple as there are only 14 parts contained on 4 pages. Just the thing for a beginning papercrafter!

Domino's Pizza Paper Toy

My job has been pretty hectic lately, so I haven't had much time to work on new papercraft models. I did find the time this week, however, to produce an addition to my pizza paper toy series which I began last year. This one is a Domino's green pepper and black olive pizza. It's not a flavor of pizza I think I would ever order, but I do like the pattern the toppings make.^^

Apple Macintosh Computer Papercraft

The first personal computer I can remember working with was a 1984 Macintosh 128K by Apple. The Macintosh was the first commercially successful computer to feature a mouse and a graphical user interface. The tiny (by today's standards) black and white monitor was built in. The one piece template for this cute mini paper version of the original Mac is located here at this Japanese blog. Happy building!

Battlestar Galactica Papercraft: Colonial Viper Mk I

Papercraft designer Ninjatoes recently released a Colonial Viper Mark II model, but before the Mark II there was the Viper Mark I which appeared in the original Battlestar Galactica television series that aired in the late 70's. This papercraft Mark I is a rework by Fred Smith of a Viper template from a Japanese website. Fred has done a great job giving the Viper a weathered look and he also has designed a launch rail on which to display the starfighter. Fred's templates are available for download here. In addition to the red striped Viper pictured, there is also a template for a blue striped Viper.

Prototype Soviet Spacecraft Paper Models

The former Soviet Union developed numerous spacecraft for space exploration, but most of these vehicles were never put into service. Two paper model examples of these prototype Soviet spacecraft are pictured above. On the left is the LEK Lunar Lander which was developed in the late 70's. It was intended to function in the same way as the US Apollo Lunar Module. On the right is the Buran Orbiter, a rival of the US Space Shuttle. After one unmanned flight in 1988, the Buran project was abandoned. Both these paper models are the work of Leo Cherkashyn. The templates may be downloaded here and here.
