Moana Papercraft

Disney has released two 3D animated Moana movies to date, one in 2016 and another in 2024. I just found out today that a live action Moana movie will be released later this year (2026)! In the live action movie, Dwayne Johnson reprises his role as Maui, a Polynesian demigod.

This Moana paper model by Darkcrash features the title character in a relaxed, playful pose with her hands behind her head. PDF and Pepakura PDO templates for the model may be downloaded from MediaFire. If you are looking for a quicker, easier papercraft, give this Moana paper toy a try: Simple Moana Paper Toy

Predator Scout Ship Papercraft

Czech paper model designer, Rawen, created two different paper models of the Yautja scout ship seen in the original Predator movie. Rawen describes the models as:

"Two versions of the spaceship that we could see in the first seconds of the movie, Predator (1987). The model of the ship for the movie was very low detailed, as it only flashed on the screen. You can glue together both, this simple version and a much more colorful version based on my imagination."

The "colorful version" he mentions is pictured. Rawen offers a free download of the PDF templates for both ships on MediaFire.

Doom Slayer Papercraft

I always called the playable character in the Doom video games, "Doomguy." However, starting in 2016, the character's official name became "Doom Slayer." This Doom Slayer fan art is the creation of Pendragon's Papercraft. The printable PDF template and Pepakura PDO instructions for the model may be downloaded here. The only other Doom papercraft I have posted before this is a fabulous full-head Doomguy mask.

Ape Escape Paper Toy

I have fond memories of playing the Ape Escape game on a PlayStation 1. Last year, PlayStation released a paper toy of a typical monkey in the game. The printable PDF template for the toy is still available at the PlayStation website. The original Ape Escape game was released in 1999. Since that time, numerous games have been released in the franchise, the most current one being released in 2010.

Great White Shark Paper Toy

This jovial great white shark papercraft was created by papertoy maker, Guillaume (aka Tongui), as a free giveaway for the Fishing Boat Owners Association. The JPG template for the shark may be downloaded from the Tongui website. The model has only nine pieces so it is an easy build.

Zoids Zi-024 Command Wolf Papercraft

This Zoids Zi-024 Command Wolf papercraft has one of those templates that is incredibly difficult to build, but produces an excellent model if you have the skills to pull it off. Created by Pendragon's Papercraft, the papercraft download includes two untextured Pepakura PDO files for the instructions (open with Pepakura Viewer only) and color PDF files for the printable templates. The finished model is rather large, coming in at around 25.4" (64.5 cm) long. The Zi-024 Command Wolf was featured in the Zoids: Chaotic Century anime. It is also referred to as the "Irvine Custom."

Life Size Velociraptor Skeleton Papercraft

DeviantART member Gedelgo is a master at creating low poly papercraft. Completed in 2015, I consider this life size velociraptor skeleton to be his most ambitious project. From nose to tail, the model is 6.6' (2 M) in length. Constructing the model is a challenge. First, there are no instructions. Second, the model will not stand on its own and must be rigged with wire in order for it to hold together. Heavy cardstock or cardboard are recommended as the construction material. If you dare attempt build this model, the template is still available at Pepakura Gallery. The download includes both PDF and Pepakura PDO files.

Other Gedelgo Low Poly Models:

Flying Bird (Magpie)
Bison Skull
Nike of Samothrace
Deer Skull
Triceratops Skull

Printable Treehouse Playset

I was captivated by this printable treehouse playset offered on the Brother Creative Center website. My children would have really been into something like this when they were younger. The three level treehouse has a room (complete with furniture!) on each level. Think of it as a stackable dollhouse. The six residents of the dollhouse are deer, rabbits, and owls. Hats off to Brother for creating such an imaginative papercraft!
