Mini Warhol Brillo Box Paper Toys

I don't know what came over me when I decided to create a mini papercraft version of Warhol's Brillo Boxes. It took quite a bit of work to accurately recreate the graphics on the boxes. Then there was the question of size. For lack of a better size, I decided to make them Barbie Doll scale (1:6). That way Barbie can be a... er... art museum curator or something. ;) The PDF template for the boxes is available here. Andy Warhol created his Brillo artwork in 1964 as a "deadpan replication of American commercial culture" (or so says the Allen Memorial Art Museum).

Quadricorn Paper Model

Straight from the hilarious Ameristar Casino television commercials, it's a papercraft Quadricorn! Ameristar commissioned well known papercraft designer Taras Lesko to create this Quadricorn paper model as a promotional item for the 2011 holiday season.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Papercraft: Power-ups

I have fond memories of the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 video game. Sonic 2 was released in 1992 for the 16 bit Sega Genesis gaming console. It was the first game in the Sonic series to feature the character Tails. Power-ups in the game came in the form of video monitors. Billybob884 has created paper models of all 13 of the power-ups (a sample of which are shown above). The template for the power-ups is a single Pepakura PDO file with interchangeable textures. It may be downloaded here.

Lord of the Rings Papercraft: Orc Battle Axe

Poseable My Little Pony Paper Toys

Here is yet another case of 2D papercraft being just as fun as 3D papercraft. DeviantARTist Trunksi has created six different My Little Pony paper toys. Each toy is double-sided and poseable (including the eyes!) Pictured are Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. Also available are Applejack and Twilight Sparkle. Links to the printable templates for the ponies may be found here.

Skyrim Papercraft: Frost Dragon

The detail level of this Skyrim frost dragon paper model is pretty impressive. DaiShiHUN, the creator of dragon, lists the build difficulty of the model as "very hard" (which is to be expected). The finished papercraft stands at 18"(46 cm) tall. A Pepakura PDO template for the model may be downloaded here.  DaiShiHUN intended for this model to be the specific dragon, Viinturuth, who is one of several different named dragons that may be encountered in the video game.

Mermaid Papercraft

The Little Mermaid in Hans Christian Anderson's version of the story gains human legs but feels excruciating pain each time she walks. Later, the prince she loves marries another and the little mermaid dies brokenhearted. Quite a bit different from Disney's version, eh? ;) This free papercraft by the Mochinuki Printing Company tries to capture some of the sorrrow of the original tale. The PDF template is available here.

Cute Zombie Paper Toy

Graphic designer Tesha from Montreal is a self-proclaimed Kawaii Guru. Kawaii is a Japanese word which literally means "cute" or "adorable".

Headpiece to the Staff of Ra Build Photo

Jerry Vondeling built and posted a photo of my Headpiece to the Staff of Ra papercraft back in 2010, but I only recently became aware of it. Nice work Jerry! If you would like to build one yourself, the original post of the Headpiece may be found here. Another Indiana Jones papercraft I created is a full scale paper model of Indy's Webley revolver. The post for the revolver is located here.

League of Legends Papercraft: Tibbers

Portaldragon, a papercrafter friend of mine at DeviantART, has started creating some papercraft models of characters from the League of Legends video game. First up, we have a paper model of Tibbers the bear. According to the League of Legend Wiki:

"Tibbers is a shadow bear, a ferocious denizen of the petrified forests in the Voodoo Lands...  He was later tamed by Annie The Dark Child, turning him into her pet. To this day Tibbers remains by her side, spellbound as a stuffed doll to be carried like a child's toy." 

Portaldragon has put together both PDO and PDF templates for Tibbers. The templates may be downloaded here.
