Barbie Scale Guillotine Papercraft

Barbie Bastelbogen
Here is my contribution to the collection of free Halloween papercraft on the Internet this year: a guillotine! I had downloaded a 3D model of a bloody guillotine by designer "Smirnoffka" earlier this year thinking I might do a papercraft of it sometime and finally decided it would work best as a Halloween papercraft. I chose to scale the guillotine to the size of a Barbie doll because there was something just so ironic and disturbing about associating smiling Barbie with a gruesome instrument of death. :) Here are the details of the template:

Scale: 1:6
Finished Size: 12.5" (31.8 cm) height
Number of sheets: 3
Number of parts: 18
Difficulty: 3/5
Download

Note: No Barbies were harmed in the making of this papercraft. :)

    Thank you for this inspired papercraft. I'm already planning a diorama with some Barbies. Would you please consider releasing a matching tumbrel?

    Cheers
    Roxxii.

    A tumbrel, eh? I'll see if I can find a ready made virtual 3D model of one from which I can create a papercaft model. I don't know if I have the time or the patience to create a decent 3D model myself, but we shall see...

    I'm glad you enjoyed the guillotine! I would love to see a photo of your diorama when it is finished. :)

    The guillotine download is a .zip file which will open on Windows computers by double clicking on it. From there you can either extract the PDF inside the .zip file to a folder on your computer or double click on the PDF to open it. You will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software to open the PDF.
