The Toymaker website is a true delight. The site has dozens of lovely hand-drawn printables for all occasions. A few years ago I made this glue-less papercraft turkey as a table decoration for our Thanksgiving dinner. I would call it a 3D papercraft, but because the head, legs and tail feathers are flat, it is probably more accurate to call it a "2.5D" papercraft. The PDF template for this turkey may be downloaded from The Toymaker's Thanksgiving section. It should be noted, unlike the photo where the turkey's tail is blank, in the template the turkey has the words "WE GIVE THANKS" across his tail.
This papercraft is of the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. This papercraft was designed by the great Richard Vyškovský as part of a commercial paper model of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia. I didn't want to build the entire temple, so I scanned just the parts of the template with the statue and enlarged them. The original statue was about 1" tall. The enlarged statue I built is 5" tall.
Thanks so much to all of you who continue to visit my blog! It is very much appreciated!
"The Embalmed Queen features slot-in tabs, curved pieces and a closing lid, the model is built using six pieces on a single A4 page. The original design and model texture were designed by Castpixel and the paper engineering was implemented by Alex Gwynne"

"On Halloween night, Boogie comes out of his grave and dances the groovy dance. He moves his bones to the beat of the music, and he always has a big smile on his face. Boogie is the life of the party, and everyone loves to see him boogie down."
Boogie is intended to be a hanging decoration. So, both his head and body are double sided, because as we know, hanging decoration have a habit of spinning around. ;) The printable PDF template for this fun skeleton may be downloaded at salazad.com
