Fortnite Loot Llama Papercraft

Fortnite Llama Bastelbogen
In the "Battle Royale" mode of the Fortnite video game, there are five loot llamas placed randomly on the map. Loot llamas (aka supply llamas) function like treasure chests do in other games: open or destroy a llama and the items inside will be dropped for the player's use. This paper model of a loot llama was created by Paperttore at Paperled. The template download for the model is available at Mega.nz. Both PDF and Pepakura PDO template formats are available.

Marvel Christmas Papercraft: Baby Groot

Marvel Groot Bastelbogen
You won't find a more unique Christmas papercraft than this: Baby Groot dressed up like a Christmas tree! This paper model shows Groot with a tree topper star on top, a string of lights around his head, and a Christmas wreath around his body. Every part of this model is 3D, including the string of lights, so it will take some time to build. The finished model stands at 21" (55 cm) tall. The printable template (which may be downloaded at W R Papercraft) comes in both Pepakura PDO and PDF formats. There are no instructions available other than the PDO file.

Glue-less Turkey Papercraft

Turkey Bastelbogen
The Toymaker website is a true delight. The site has dozens of lovely hand-drawn printables for all occasions. A few years ago I made this glue-less papercraft turkey as a table decoration for our Thanksgiving dinner. I would call it a 3D papercraft, but because the head, legs and tail feathers are flat, it is probably more accurate to call it a "2.5D" papercraft. The PDF template for this turkey may be downloaded from The Toymaker's Thanksgiving section. It should be noted, unlike the photo where the turkey's tail is blank, in the template the turkey has the words "WE GIVE THANKS" across his tail.

16th Anniversay!

Statue of Zeus Bastelbogen
Today is the 16th anniversary of Tektonten Papercraft! As is my custom, on this day I post either a papercraft I have built in the past or new papercraft I may release in the future. This year, I am posting a photo of a past build.

This papercraft is of the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. This papercraft was designed by the great Richard Vyškovský as part of a commercial paper model of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia. I didn't want to build the entire temple, so I scanned just the parts of the template with the statue and enlarged them. The original statue was about 1" tall. The enlarged statue I built is 5" tall. 

Thanks so much to all of you who continue to visit my blog! It is very much appreciated!

Halloween Skeleton Paper Toy

Halloween Skeleton Bastelbogen
Here is another great Halloween paper toy from Salazad! It is a skeleton named "Boogie." Boogie's story goes as follows:

"On Halloween night, Boogie comes out of his grave and dances the groovy dance. He moves his bones to the beat of the music, and he always has a big smile on his face. Boogie is the life of the party, and everyone loves to see him boogie down."

Boogie is intended to be a hanging decoration. So, both his head and body are double sided, because as we know, hanging decoration have a habit of spinning around. ;) The printable PDF template for this fun skeleton may be downloaded at salazad.com
