Ape Escape Paper Toy

I have fond memories of playing the Ape Escape game on a PlayStation 1. Last year, PlayStation released a paper toy of a typical monkey in the game. The printable PDF template for the toy is still available at the PlayStation website. The original Ape Escape game was released in 1999. Since that time, numerous games have been released in the franchise, the most current one being released in 2010.

Great White Shark Paper Toy

This jovial great white shark papercraft was created by papertoy maker, Guillaume (aka Tongui), as a free giveaway for the Fishing Boat Owners Association. The JPG template for the shark may be downloaded from the Tongui website. The model has only nine pieces so it is an easy build.

Zoids Zi-024 Command Wolf Papercraft

This Zoids Zi-024 Command Wolf papercraft has one of those templates that is incredibly difficult to build, but produces an excellent model if you have the skills to pull it off. Created by Pendragon's Papercraft, the papercraft download includes two untextured Pepakura PDO files for the instructions (open with Pepakura Viewer only) and color PDF files for the printable templates. The finished model is rather large, coming in at around 25.4" (64.5 cm) long. The Zi-024 Command Wolf was featured in the Zoids: Chaotic Century anime. It is also referred to as the "Irvine Custom."

Life Size Velociraptor Skeleton Papercraft

DeviantART member Gedelgo is a master at creating low poly papercraft. Completed in 2015, I consider this life size velociraptor skeleton to be his most ambitious project. From nose to tail, the model is 6.6' (2 M) in length. Constructing the model is a challenge. First, there are no instructions. Second, the model will not stand on its own and must be rigged with wire in order for it to hold together. Heavy cardstock or cardboard are recommended as the construction material. If you dare attempt build this model, the template is still available at Pepakura Gallery. The download includes both PDF and Pepakura PDO files.

Other Gedelgo Low Poly Models:

Flying Bird (Magpie)
Bison Skull
Nike of Samothrace
Deer Skull
Triceratops Skull

Printable Treehouse Playset

I was captivated by this printable treehouse playset offered on the Brother Creative Center website. My children would have really been into something like this when they were younger. The three level treehouse has a room (complete with furniture!) on each level. Think of it as a stackable dollhouse. The six residents of the dollhouse are deer, rabbits, and owls. Hats off to Brother for creating such an imaginative papercraft!

Papercraft Christmas Village Advent Calendar

It's that time of year when people like to to do holiday craft projects. I like this papercraft project by the Woo! Jr Kids Activities website because it combines two Christmas traditions into one. First, it is an advent calendar. Second, it is a Christmas village. Another cool feature of this printable is it comes in both a pre-colored version and a color-it-yourself version. Happy crafting!

This 3D papercraft mask by designer, Zeodtr, was inspired by the Japanese Manga series, Tiger Mask.
