Origami Swords
I have been slacking on my origami posts! Here are some fun and simple origami swords, each made from a single square of paper. An excellent video showing how to fold one of these swords can be found on Pinterest. The finished length of the sword will be the same as the diagonal measurement of the square of paper that is used. The swords shown in the photo are around 6" (15 cm) long.

Minecraft Papercraft: Diamond Pickaxe
In the Minecraft video game, pickaxes are used to mine rocks and ores. There are six different types of pickaxes: wooden, stone, iron, golden, diamond, and netherite. This life size papercraft pickaxe is of the diamond variety. This papercraft was offered by the now defunct FPSXGames website. A copy of the template for the pickaxe may be downloaded from the archived page located: HERE. The template consists of four .PNG image files which were sized to be printed on A4 size cardstock (however printing to Letter size paper using "scale to fit" should work just fine).

Star Trek Papercraft: USS Grissom
The science vessel starship USS Grissom appeared in the 1984 movie, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. This 1:760 scale paper model of the ship was created by Martin Sanger. A copy of the .BMP template for the ship may be downloaded from Sanger's website. Sanger has this to say about the starship:
Romulan Warbird
Voyager
Klingon Bird of Prey
STtMP Enterprise
The USS Grissom, NCC-638, was one of the most famous research spaceships of the Oberth class. These small Federation ships were designed to explore planets, nebulae and other natural phenomena... The last mission of the USS Grissom was the exploration and research of the newly created planet Genesis. However, the ship was attacked by a Klingon Bird of Prey in orbit of the planet and completely destroyed.

Van to the Future VW Bus Papercraft
Imagine the movie Back to the Future, only instead of a DeLorean, the time machine is a VW bus. That is the idea of this papercraft designed by Damon Butler. This model has a lot of fun nods to the original DeLorean, like gull-wing doors and a flux capacitor behind the seat. The PDF template for this model may be downloaded at Butler's website, nrwster.com.

Flash Gordon War Rocket Papercraft
The best part of the 1980 movie Flash Gordon was the awesome soundtrack by the rock group Queen. Coming in close second are the retro spaceship and costume designs created for the movie. In homage to the movie, this papercraft "War Rocket Ajax" was created by designer, Rawen. The PDF template for the paper model is available on MediaFire. The finished rocket is something of a "micro model" in that it is only slightly larger than the palm of your hand.
