In the DC Comics universe, the members of the Green Lantern Corp each wear a green power ring. Including the Green Lantern Corp, there are a total of nine different Lantern Corps. Each corp is represented by a different color. The colors of the corps cover the seven colors of the rainbow, plus black and white. Designer "Tkamen" has created papercraft templates for the rings of power for each of the lantern corps, five of which are shown above. The PDO format templates may be downloaded here. The finished rings are rather large with a 1 1/2" (3.8 cm) diameter. I wanted a smaller scale Green Lantern ring, so I took the liberty of creating a scaled down version of the template in PDF format which is available here. Unfortunately, there are no instructions available for building the rings other than the PDO.
UPDATE 10/6/2012: The download above for scaled down green ring template now includes scaled down templates for the red and blue rings as well!
would you do exactly what you did for the green one for the red one.... make it smaller or bye its self because for some reason i cant download it D:
ReplyDeleteI have re-sized the red lantern ring for you. See the update above.
ReplyDeletecould you also re-size the blue lantern ring to a smaller size. these are great papercrafts, but they are too big to wear :)
ReplyDeleteYour wish has been granted! The download in the post above now includes a scaled down blue lantern ring template.
DeleteAfter i click on the link what do i do?
ReplyDeleteClick on the green bar labeled "Download 4.28mb" to download the file.
Deleteany chance that the orange lantern ring can be resized too? :D
ReplyDeleteMaybe. I can't guarantee anything. It takes a lot of work to resize the rings and I don't have much time right now.
DeleteCan you PLEASE make a scaled version of all the power rings. for some reason when i try to get the original download it doesnt work. PLEASE scale ALL of the rings!
ReplyDeleteThe original download works fine for me. Not sure why you are having a problem. Resizing the rings takes a lot of time which is precisely why I didn't resize all the rings previously. I can't guarantee anything, but maybe sometime in the future I will be able to make scaled versions of the other rings.
DeleteIs there instructions on how to build it?
ReplyDeleteSorry. No instructions are available.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me how big the new rings are? Also is it possible to re-size those rings with pepakura viewer to make custom sized ones? Cause I tried it with designer and it asks for a password which I don't know :/
ReplyDeleteThe inside diameter of the new rings is between 3/4" and 1". I don't know of any way of re-sizing templates with Pepakura viewer. You might be able to scale the template with your printer if it has a scaling feature. Good luck.
DeleteI manage to convert the PDO to a PDF, then I made the PDF into images and with photoshop I re-sized them and printed them out. Now they fit to my finger perfectly. I'm making them all of them to see how they''ll look and they turn out quit good. Too bad the lanterns aren't available :/
DeleteThere is a movie version lantern located here: http://tektonten.blogspot.com/2011/11/green-lantern-papercraft-power-battery.html
Deletethis is old but is there a chance of getting the password for the files, i want to resize the black lantern ring since it was never resized and i can't seem to find this file anywhere else that may have the password posted
ReplyDeleteThe original creator of the PDO did not provide the password and there is no way of getting it. However, the PDO will open with Pepakura Viewer. From the Pep Viewer you can either print to PDF and resize the PDF in Photoshop or use the scaling feature on your printer and print to a smaller size directly from the PDO.
