Cthulhu Mythos Papercraft

Ugh! This group of uglies are some Cthulhu Mythos figures created for tabletop gaming by Eddnic at Fantasy Paper Miniature. Pictured are but 4 of the 15 characters available. From the upper left going clockwise there is Cthulhu, a Byakhee, a Shoggoth, and a Nightgaunt. Eddnic makes use of a papercraft technique some call "2.5D" because flat (2D) pieces of paper are used to create 3D effects. The Cthulhu Mythos universe began with the writings of H. P. Lovecraft and was expanded upon by subsequent writers.

Papercraft Lions

Here's another set of papercraft animals based on 3D models from the Zoo Tycoon 2 video game. This time we have a male and a female lion. The templates for the lions are in JPG format and may be downloaded from DrWheelieMobile's DeviantART page here. A little known fact about male lions is that their mane darkens with age. So the darker the mane, the older the lion.

Fifth Element Stones Papercraft

Being a long time enthusiast of the 1997 movie, The Fifth Element, I began this papercraft 8 or 9 years ago as a work of fan art. In the movie there are four powerful stones that correspond to the four elements of the ancient world (fire, air, water and earth). The power of these stones can only be activated by the "fifth element" which happens to be a "genetically perfect" human female. My papercraft elemental stones are 1:3 scale and may be downloaded here. The download includes PDF templates for both Letter and A4 size paper. Glad to get this one completed after so long. This is my papercraft release for the month of January as promised here.

Super Deformed Space Shuttle Paper Toy

This "super deformed" space shuttle paper toy was created by Korean designer Suk Woo Jang (aka 1000DAY). Building this toy is interesting because most of its construction is curved rather than folded. A printable PDF for the model may be downloaded here (click on the template image near the bottom of the page).

Canon Mini Architecture Paper Models

Canon Creative Park has a new "beginner series" of architecture papercraft. Each of the models is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Four of the 23 models available are pictured. From the upper left going clockwise are the Colosseum (Rome), St. Basil's Cathedral (Moscow), Himeji Castle, (Japan), and Sangrada Famila (Barcelona). Downloads of the templates for the models are available here.

MechWarrior Mad Cat Papercraft

I liked this Mad Cat (Timber Wolf) paper model because it was created from scratch rather making use of a 3D model from one of the MechWarrior video games. The Mad Cat is a fan favorite mech from the BattleTech franchise of board games and video games. The printable papercraft template for the model was created by DeviantARTist Walter-NEST and may be downloaded here. The model is approximately 1:50 scale and stands 8" (21 cm) tall when complete.

Final Fantasy XI Chocobo Papercraft

I have been playing the Final Fantasy Tactics app lately and it has made me nostalgic for the Final Fantasy papercraft people used to create 8 or 9 years ago. One of the nicest FF paper models from that time period was this chocobo from Final Fantasy XI by Kaizo Papercraft. The Pepakura PDO file is still available here. Kaizo never "officially" released this papercraft so the template is really rough and could use some editing, but as you can see, if you put some effort into it, the end result is awesome. By the way, the cat on the chocobo's back is an unrelated FFVII papercraft.

Digimon Papercraft: Renamon

It's been a while since I posted any Digimon papercraft. Here's a good one: a Renamon paper model created in 2011 by DeviantART member Destro2k. Renamon is a rookie level Digimon who digivolves to Kyubimon then Taomon and finally Sakuyamon. Pepakura PDO and PDF templates for the model may be downloaded here. The fur around Renamon's neck is made out of cotton.
