17th Anniversary!

Today marks the 17th Anniversary of Tektonten Papercraft! To commemorate the day this year, I am featuring some of the Harry Potter papercraft I have done in previous years. Pictured left to right are:

Lucius Malfoy's Wand (2013)
Hogwart's Well (2019)
A Flying Key (2022)

Thank you everyone for your support over the last seventeen years! It has been much appreciated.

Low Poly Halloween Pumpkin Papercraft

This low poly Halloween jack-o-lantern is offered for free in the Halloween "printables" section of the HP website. The PDF template for the pumpkin is available here. After following the link, you will notice there is no "download" button, just a "print" button. A PDF can be obtained by clicking on the print button then choosing "save as PDF" instead of choosing your regular printer. The jack-o-lantern must be printed on color cardstock to get the look in the photo, as the template is black and white. HP calls this printable a "candle holder" and notes: "Please use only a LED candle. Never use a regular candle to avoid fires!"

Other Halloween Papercraft:

D20 Pumpkin
Tabletop Cemetery

Disney Villains Papercraft

Someone pointed out that I hadn't posted links to ALL the papercraft Disney characters that were once available on the old Disney Family / Spoonful website. Completionist that I am, I tracked down working links to two more Disney villain figures: the evil queen from Snow White and Ursula from the Little Mermaid. The download links for these are here and here. The links point to an Internet Archive, so it may take them a moment to pull up after clicking the link. Links to the rest of the characters may be found on my Disney Princess Papercraft Roundup post. If you are interested in more Disney villains, check out these papercraft villain bowling pins.

BooBoo Halloween Ghost Paper Toy

 Here is what papercraft designer Salazad has to say about his Halloween ghost paper toy, BooBoo:

"Booboo is a moody ghost with a white sheet who loves Halloween night. He’s not the scariest ghost, but he can be quite a prankster. He loves to scare people, but he’s never mean about it. He just likes to have a good laugh."

BooBoo's comes with four different faces to reflect his many moods. The one page printable PDF template for this toy may be downloaded at Salazad's website.

Tron Ares Identity Disc Papercraft

I have posted my own papercraft designs for every Tron movie to date, so you know I had to release something for the new Tron: Ares movie. ;) Here is my offering: an 1:1 scale identity disc model. Unlike the identity discs in the previous Tron movies, the Ares disc is triangular rather than circular. The printable papercraft template for this model may be downloaded from MediaFire. I have included a locked Pepakura PDO file as a construction reference. If you are interested in the previous Tron papercraft I have been posting since 2009, click on this link ---> HERE.

Chromehounds Sal Kar Papercraft

Nearly 20 years ago, the Japanese papercraft designer, Chokipeta Kobo, produced three promotional paper models for the Sega video game, Chromehounds, which is a mech simulator game. Pictured is one of the three mech models Kobo created: a Sal Kar mech. The Kingdom of Sal Kar is a fictional desert country that appears in the game. The PDF template and instructions for this model may be downloaded at MediaFire. In 2021, I posted another of the three models, a Morskoj mech. The post is located here.

Easy Tron Recognizer Papercraft

A new Tron movie (Tron: Ares) will be here on October 10th! I can hardly wait! Over the years, I have released several paper models from both the 1982 Tron movie and the 2010 Tron: Legacy movie, as well as the 2003 Tron 2.0 video game. I intend to do at least one Tron: Ares papercraft, so stay tuned. In the mean time, here is a Tron papercraft I somehow overlooked until today: an easy "recognizer" from the original Tron movie. The template for the model may be download from Paperfoldables.

Some Previous Tron Papercraft:

Sam's Identity Disc
Full Size Tron 1982 Helmet
The Three Forms of Bit
Rinzler Identity Disc
Kingdom Hearts Tron Bust

Harry Potter Papercraft: Hedwig

I have been reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The book has me thinking about Harry Potter's owl, Hedwig. "Transplaner," a DIY Harry Potter blog offers this Hedwig paper model which was designed by Jeanne, the blog's author. The template for the model and instruction photographs may be found here. Hedwig is a female snowy owl, a species that is native to the artic regions of North America.
