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.
I've been looking at these for a couple days, and I still don't know what to say. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have downloaded all models. The figures are quite small, 9 cm. But the parts are also so small that it cannot be made. I wonder if the makers can show me HOW they make the figures. I have tried several times to make a knight but it is IMPOSSIBLE!. It's a shame because it is actually quite a beautiful and unique series.
DeleteUnfortunately, Fabrizio Prudenziati who designed and built the models in the photos passed away several years ago. I do believe Fabrizio built the models out of paper rather than cardstock. This makes the curved construction of the pieces much easier to accomplish. If the small size of the models is an issue, I suggest scaling the models up when printing.
DeleteYes, he is definitely a master of the art of papercraft.
ReplyDeleteThe historic soldiers are verh difgicult to make. Not for beginners.
