Medieval Townhouse Papercraft

Medieval House Bastelbogen
I like the quirky lopsidedness of this papercraft medieval house. The model was originally intended to be used with tabletop role playing games, but I think it might also work well as part of a miniature Christmas village. This "Seedy Townhouse" is the creation of Peter Fitzpatrick. The template for the model may be downloaded as a PDF from Fitzpatrick's website, mojobob.com. The house is scaled for use in games with 35mm figures.

First released in 2001, Pikmin is an addictive Nintendo video game series  that involves using loveable little plant creatures of various types to solve puzzles. This Rock Pikmin papercraft is a fan art creation by Muumin Craft based on how the character appears in Pikmin 3. The PDF template for the model is available on the Muumin  Craft Website. In the game, Muumin is fond of the Rock Pikmin because of their "high attack power and the exhilarating feeling of being able to easily destroy hard objects."

Mini Papercraft Cars Collection

Pixar Cars Bastlebogen
I thought the idea behind this collection of mini papercraft cars was fun. Each of the 45 cars is a real life version of a car or vehicle that has appeared as a character in one of Pixar's Cars movies. The 1:250 scale models are small enough that all 45 may be printed on a single sheet of cardstock. The PDF template for these cars is available for download from R&P Models.

Sonic Anniversary Papercraft

Sega Sonic Hedgehog Bastelbogen
This year is the 35th anniversary of the first Sonic the Hedgehog video game! Ten years ago for the 25th anniversary, this papercraft Sonic was created by Sabi96 to commemorate the event. The 23 page PDF template for the model may be downloaded here. The finished figure is about 19.7" (50 cm) tall. And although Sabi doesn't say, it is highly likely some kind of weight is required inside Sonic's foot in order to get him to stand up on his own. ;)

Minecraft Papercraft: Enchanting Table

Minecraft Bastelbogen
I don't know much about Minecraft, but I do like small papercraft books, so this project caught my eye. ;) In the Minecraft video game, an enchanting table may be used to apply enchantments (magical upgrades) to tools, armor, and books. After items have been enchanted, they take on a special visual "glint." This papercraft enchanting table was created by a Korean designer. The download link for the model is available on his blog which is called, Man Who Makes Paper Models. If you don't know Korean, then translate the blog page to English and follow the instructions there carefully about how to get the PDF template. There is a password involved!

Gatchaman God Phoenix Papercraft

Gatchaman Aircraft Bastelbogen
When I was young, I used to watch an animated American TV show called G-Force. Much later, I discovered G-Force was an adaptation of the 1972 Japanese anime series, Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. In the Gatchaman show, the G-Force team's aircraft is called the "God Phoenix." The Phoenix is capable of both spaceflight and under water travel. Also, when the need arises, the ship can also initiate "Firebird Mode" and turn into a massive flaming bird. This paper model of the God Phoenix was created by Studio Time Ring. The Studio Time Ring website no longer exists, but templates and instructions for the model may still be downloaded HERE.

Low Poly Papercraft Bear Wall Art

Bas-relief Low Poly Bear Bastelbogen
Paper Iconic, the creator of this low poly bear papercraft, describes his creation as "bas-relief." Bas-relief is an ancient technique of stone carving where sculpted 3D figures project ever so slightly from a flat background. The dimensions of the bear from the front are roughly 16" (40 cm) x 8" (20 cm), yet the depth of the bear is only 2.6" (6.6 cm). The template and instructions for this wall art may be downloaded from Pepakura Gallery. As the template is white, it is not explained how to achieve a black bear, as pictured. The only two options I can think of are: 1) to paint the finished model or 2) print the template on dual sided black and white cardstock so that the template is printed on the white side and then fold "backwards" so the black is on the outside.
