Indiana Jones Papercraft: Webley Mk VI Revolver

Indiana Jones' weapon of choice in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a Webley Mk VI revolver.  Although the movie takes place in 1938, the Mk VI is an older weapon which, starting in 1915, was issued as the standard sidearm for British troops during World War I. My papercraft rendition of the revolver takes some "artistic liberties" in the name of making the paper model easier to build , but I worked hard to keep the 1:1 scale of the gun accurate. This is the one and only papercraft I have ever released without a test build first, so let me know if you find any problems. The template may be downloaded here. Estimated difficulty level: 4/5.

Printable Chinese Paper Lanterns

The Disney Family Fun website offers these printable paper lanterns as a Chinese New Year item, but I think they would be pretty cool any time of the year. ^^ From the looks of the unfolded pattern, I would estimate the finished lanterns to be only about 2.5" (6.4 cm) tall. The PDF template file for the lanterns may be downloaded here.

Deadpool Cubee Paper Toy

There are quite a few Deadpool cubees around, but this one by Randyfivesix is my favorite. Although not pictured above, this paper toy includes Deadpool's signature katana swords. The two pages of the template are available here and here. Deadpool is a Marvel Comics character created by artist Rob Liefield in 1991.

Kratos Paper Model (God of War)

I have seen quite a few papercraft models of Kratos (the main character in the God of War video game series) but this is the first one I have come across that looks to be based on a 3D model from the game. The finished model stands around 12.6" (32 cm) tall and comes with the two axes shown (display stand not included!) The template (located here) is offered in Pepakura PDO format only and requires the free 7-Zip program to extract it after it is downloaded. The template and build photos above are by Delay.

Papercraft Gemstones

Here are some simple, but beautiful papercraft gemstones from Kate at the Minieco website. As you can see, Kate loves brilliant colors. ^^ These gems were created by printing a blank template on color cardstock. There are many uses for the gems including Christmas decorations, mobiles, and garlands. Also available at Minieco  are templates for platonic solids. The templates for the gems are located here and the templates for the platonic solids are located here.

Animation Style Batman Papercraft

I was unable to find much information on this Batman papercraft I came across. It looks like it may have been modeled after one of the Batman animated TV series from the 1990's, but whether it was created from scratch or from a video game 3D model I can't say. The PDO file for the model says it was unfolded by "Cuguel" who may be the same person who was involved in creating the Alien xenomorph life cycle papercraft I posted a while back. The Pepakura template for this paper model is available here.

Star Wars Papercraft: V-wing Airspeeder

This V-wing airspeeder paper model is based on a 3D model from the 1998 video game Star Wars: Rogue Squadron. According to the Star Wars wiki:

"The V-wing airspeeder was a combat airspeeder developed by the New Republic to replace aging cloud cars and allow more expensive starfighters to focus on space combat... The V-wing's weapon systems had two fire-linked blaster cannons on either side of the vehicle with an effective range of two kilometers."

The simple template and detailed instructions for this model are the work of Imclod at deviantART and may be downloaded here.

Portal 2 Papercraft: Frankenturret Robot

The Portal 2 video game introduced a robot known as a "frankenturret". A frankenturret is something like a cross between a weighted storage cube and a sentry turret. Markus, the creator of  this frankenturret papercraft, admits that the model is "somewhat finicky to assemble", but if you remain undaunted by this information ^^, you can download the template here.

Fantasy Papercraft: Lich

Destro2k at DeviantART has created an exquisitely detailed paper model of a lich. In fantasy literature a lich is an undead creature that, unlike a zombie, retains the intelligence it had as a living thing. This papercraft is based on an original 3D model by DeviantARTist FirstKeeper and not a model ripped from a video game. The Pepakura PDO files for this paper model may be downloaded here.
