Canon Halloween Candy Shop Diorama

Miniature Halloween Bastelbogen
Canon Creative Park always has the highest quality holiday papercraft. One of my favs for Halloween is their "Halloween Market" paper diorama. It depicts a Halloween candy store in the shape of a lantern. The best part of this papercraft are all the small objects that come with the candy store: pumpkins, a broom stick, candy, and a table and chairs. My person favorite are the tiny books. This printable may be downloaded for free in the Miniature World section of Canon Creative Park.

Mad Cat IV Mech Papercraft

Mech Bastelbogen
The BattleTech universe focuses on the distant future where giant mechs are used as weapons of war. The BattleTech franchise has two main components: BattleTech (tabletop wargaming) and MechWarrior (tactics video games). This Mad Cat IV mech papercraft (if I am not mistaken) is from one of the MechWarrior video games. The Pepakura PDO template was created by Whammy and may be downloaded from MediaFire. The template comes with skins than may be customized, if you have the Photoshop skills to do so.

Ghost and Pumpkin Paper Toy

Ghost Jack-o-Lantern Bastelbogen
I couldn't resist! Here is another fun paper toy for Halloween. Cleverly named, this paper toy is called "Possessed Pumpkin". This paper toy was created by Alex and is available at his website, Fold Up Toys. The printable template for the toy is a single page A4 size PDF. I think a battery powered tea light would work nicely to light this toy up from the inside!

Xonar the Bat Paper Toy

Fledermaus Bastelbogen
Is it too early for some Halloween papercraft? Nah. This cute bat paper toy goes by the name "Xonar". Get it? Xonar sounds like "sonar", which bats use to hunt and navigate. 😉 The cool thing about this paper toy is that it is double side. Xonar has a different facial expression on the other side. The PDF template for this bat may be downloaded from salazad.com. Happy Halloween!

Star Wars AT-XT Papercraft

Star Wars Walker Bastelbogen
For a span of time during the Clone War period in the Star Wars Universe, The Grand Army of the Republic made use of an armored assault walker called the All Terrain Experimental Transport (or AT-XT for short). Use of the AT-XT was short lived, and it eventually gave way to the more familiar AT-ST walker. This papercraft model of an AT-XT was created by Blaar, who no doubt used a 3D model from a Star Wars video game as the basis of his design. Created in 2011, the Pepakura PDO template for this model is still available here: MediaFire. The first appearance of the AT-XT in the Star Wars franchise was in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars video game released in 2002.

The unlocked Pepakura PDO template for the model is still available and may be downloaded from MediaFire.

DC Comics Fables Paper Theater

Paper Theatre Bastelbogen
Issue #100 of the DC Comics' book, Fables, contains a paper theater template. The template includes 29 cut-outs of Fables characters. As most comic book collectors don't care to cut up their books, I am providing a scan of the template for those who want to actually build the theater. The scan may be downloaded from MediaFire. The download includes three different sized printable PDF templates for the theater, plus a bonus PDF of the Fables board game that appeared in the same issue. Fables #100 was originally released in December 2010.
