Harry Potter Papercraft: Death Eater Mask #9

With the release next month of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2, the Harry Potter movie series will be at an end.

Links to the previous eight Death Eater mask are located in the column at the right of the page. Thanks to everyone who has supported the mask series since I began in 2009.

Antique Sports Car Papercraft Models

I am so impressed by the paper modeling work of Fabrizio Prudenziati that I decided to do a second post about his work! My first post featured his paper models of historic soldiers. For this post I want to highlight his automobile papercraft. Each of the highly detailed models above are at 1:24 scale. From the upper left going clockwise, pictured above are an Alpha Romeo, two American hot rod roadsters, and an Aston Martin. Each of these paper models is available here. 

Paper Models of Historic Soldiers

It is tough to find a quality paper model creator with the shear number of designs as Italian designer Fabrizio Prudenziati. Pictured above is a sampling of his eighty different paper models of historic soldiers available for download. Prudenziati's collection includes models of Medieval, Napoleonic, and Ancient soldiers, each at 90mm scale. 

Grand Theft Auto Papercraft

Igrandtheftauto.com has the self-confessed goal of becoming the ultimate resource for all things to do with the Grand Theft Auto series of video games. They just might be the ultimate resource for GTA papercraft as well! Pictured above are four of eighteen different paper models based on the Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars video game. Clockwise from the upper left corner are models of the Infernus, the Sabre GT, the Stallion, and my personal favorite, the Sum Yung Gai Noodle Van. The selection of GTA papercraft available includes not only cars but display stands for the cars, a dragon costume, character models, and weapon models. Check them all out here.

Pencil TV Paper Toy

In years past, I saw a toy television that made use of a scrolling screen to tell a story. Now, thanks to Stanislov Stankovic, you can watch movies on your own DIY paper toy TV. Inside the TV is a long strip of paper coiled around two pencils. As the pencils are rotated, movie scenes on the strip of paper parade by in chronological order on the "screen" of the TV. Currently, three different movies/TVs are available for download: Dirty Harry, Kill Bill (vol. 1), and Dr. Stranglelove. Stankoic also offers a blank template so you can create your own movies. All the TV paper toy fun can be downloaded here.

Hover Car Racer is a free online novel that follows the exploits of a talented young racer named Jason Chaser who owns a hover car called Argonaut.

Reilly created his original model by combining model kits of a Formula 1 race car and a fighter jet. The template for the hover car paper model may be downloaded here.

Star Wars Papercraft: Electrobinoculars

Electrobinoculars of some sort or another have appeared in every Star Wars movie except for Episode VI. According to Starwars.com, electrobinoculars are:

"...hand held imaging devices used to view objects from a considerable distance. The sophisticated device displays images with an overlay of computerized information detailing the object's distance, relative and true azimuths, and elevation."

These 1:1 scale papercraft electrobinoculars are based on a 3D model from the Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy video game. The template for this paper model may be downloaded here. This is my second Star Wars papercraft, look for more in the future. :)

Studio Ghibli Papercraft: Laputa Robot Soldier Mask

The 1986 Studio Ghibli animated movie Castle in the Sky has some really unique looking robot soldiers. A Japanese fan created this large, helmet-like mask based on the look of the robots in the film. Although the mask in the photo was built with regular paper, building with cardstock would undoubtedly help the finished product be more sturdy and have a more definite shape. The template for the Laputa robot mask may be downloaded here. The download is in a zipped .lzh format which may be opened with 7-Zip open source software, among other things.
