FNAF Freddy Frostbear Papercraft

Freddy Frostbear Bastelbogen
In the Five Nights at Freddy's video game universe, Freddy Frostbear is a wintery alternate version of Freddy Fazbear, the character who gives the game its name. As you might guess from the sprig of holly on his hat and his red plaid bowtie, Mr. Frostbear's first appearance was on Christmas Day. This paper likeness of the animatronic bear was created by DeviantART member JakovDrawzz. The JPG template pages for the model may be downloaded from his YouTube page. Assembly instructions are included in the video there.

Interstellar Papercraft: TARS & CASE Robots

Interstellar Robot Bastelbogen
When I watched the science fiction movie, Interstellar, I was fascinated by the unusual rectangular robots that are part of the story. The robots' names are "TARS" and "CASE". Despite their awkward rectangular shapes, the robots turn out to be surprisingly agile. PDF templates for poseable paper models of the robots may be downloaded from the SF Paper Craft Gallery website. After following the link, you will find one link for the download and another link to a YouTube video that has instructions. Interstellar was released in 2014.

Old Church Papercraft

Old Kirk Bastelbogen
Once upon a time, there was an Italian papercraft company named Odissey that had some really nice free samples. The company is long gone, but if you look carefully, you can still find some of the free samples hiding in the far corners of the Internet. One such sample is the Old Church paper model pictured. The printable PDF for the church may be downloaded from the archive located HERE. Instructions are included in the download, but be aware the text is in Italian. Be that as it may, the images in the instructions are good enough that the text should not be needed. This model is a good size for miniature gaming and RPG games.

Pokémon Papercraft: Absol

Absol Pokémon Bastelbogen
Absol is one of my favorite Pokémon! According to Pokemon.com:
Swift as the wind, Absol races through fields and mountains. Its curved, bow-like horn is acutely sensitive to the warning signs of natural disasters.

Jaws Orca Papercraft

Jaws Orca Bastelbogen
If you have seen the 1975 movie, Jaws, then you know this boat. It is the Orca. The boat figures prominently in the movie as it is the vessel the three main characters use to track down the murderous great white shark. In the end the Orca is destroyed. This paper model is a 1:100 scale "micromodel" designed by Rawen. The one page PDF template for the model may be downloaded from MediaFire. In real life the Orca was a lobster boat that was repurposed for the movie.

Cute Origami Cat Rings

Glue-less Paper Cat Rings
What's not to love about these origami cat rings? They are easy to fold, just the kind of project to do with kids. The video instructions for folding the rings from a single square of paper may be found on Pinterest. Rings for small children should be folded from a 6"x6" square of paper. For adults, a 9"x9" square of paper works well. Happy folding!
