Low Poly Papercraft Bear Wall Art

Paper Iconic, the creator of this low poly bear papercraft, describes his creation as "bas-relief." Bas-relief is an ancient technique of stone carving where sculpted 3D figures project ever so slightly from a flat background. The dimensions of the bear from the front are roughly 16" (40 cm) x 8" (20 cm), yet the depth of the bear is only 2.6" (6.6 cm). The template and instructions for this wall art may be downloaded from Pepakura Gallery. As the template is white, it is not explained how to achieve a black bear, as pictured. The only two options I can think of are: 1) to paint the finished model or 2) print the template on dual sided black and white cardstock so that the template is printed on the white side and then fold "backwards" so the black is on the outside.

Here is a new Star Wars snowspeeder paper model from Japanese designer, Masayu-i. Snowspeeders, also known as "T-47 airspeeders," play a prominent role in the Battle of Hoth that appears in the movie, The Empire Strikes Back. This snowspeeder model comes in two scales: 1:80 and 1:100. The templates for both sizes come together in a one-page PNG file that should be printed on a single A4 size sheet in order to maintain the proper scale. The template may be downloaded from Masayu-i's blog.

The single page JPG template for the model may be downloaded from Ryo007's DeviantART page. The SNES was released in the US in 1991.

Vintage St. George & Dragon Pop-up

This "Saint George and the Dragon" papercraft pop-up scene comes from the 1945 children's book, Bookano Stories Pot-pourri Edition. The word "potpourri" in the title refers to the fact the book features a collection of pop-up stories from other pop-up books by the same publisher. This reproduction was created by Alfredo Podestà who used the original book as a guide for his model. The PDF template for the scene may be downloaded from Alfredo Emotions.
