WH40K Papercraft: Malcador Tank

The Ukrainian paper model designer, Eli Patoroch, is a prolific creator of Warhammer 40k papercraft. Over the years he has created hundreds of model templates, all of them free. All his models are very well designed, but do take considerable skill to build. This photo shows one example of his work: a Malcador Defender tank. The PDF template for the tank may be downloaded here. Build photo by Kelly Speelman. This model was released by Patoroch in 2009.

He-Man Papercraft: Orko

In the original 1983 He-Man animated series, the character, Orko, provides the comic relief for the show. Orko is from the planet, Trolla. The Trollans are magical folk who levitate from one place to another rather than walking. This Orko papecraft was created by Titan Papercraft. The template for this paper model is available in Pepakura PDO format only and may be downloaded from Titan's MediaFire page. The most current entry in the He-Man franchise is the Masters of the Universe movie which was released on June 5, 2026.

Star Wars AT-AT & AT-ST Papercraft

Here are two 1/250 scale Star Wars paper models from my friend Masayu-i in Japan. The models are the All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) and the All Terrain Scout Transport (AT-ST) as seen in the Star Wars Episodes V and VI movies. Masayu-i has designed these models to reduce waste; the goal being no extra scraps, no unnecessary gluing tabs. Links to the PNG templates for these models are below.

The 1/250 template for the AT-ST includes a bonus snowspeeder model!

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.
