Printable Santa Gift Boxes

I like the flexibility of these papercraft Santa boxes. They may be used as small gift boxes or table top decorations. String some together through the tips of their hats and they become a Christmas banner. Make use of the included number signs and you can create an Advent calendar to count down the days till Christmas (with a candy treat inside each one of course ^^). The free printable templates for the Santas are available at Kathy's Cottage.

Printable Tron Light Cycle Game

Created as a piece of Tron fan art by graphic designer David Landis, these papercraft light cycles may be used to play a table top game. The PDF download offered by Landis contains enough pieces for up to five people. The only other item needed for game play is a six sided die. Don't have a die handy? Try building one out of paper!

Adventure Time Papercraft: Golden Sword of Battle

The Golden Sword of Battle is Finn's primary weapon in the Adventure Time animated series. This paper model of the Golden Sword is 1:1 scale and measures 28" (71 cm) long. When designing the sword I experimented with construction techniques in the hope of making it stronger than previous papercraft swords I have done. I believe I succeeded, although after an extended period of whipping around my build of the model it started to show some weakness where the blade meets the handle. ;) The template for the sword is available in both Letter and A4 size and may be downloaded here.

Star Trek Papercraft: Voyager and Prometheus

These paper models are of two important starships in the Star Trek:Voyager television series. On the left is the U.S.S. Voyager, the namesake of the show. In episode one, Voyager is teleported 70,000 light years from Earth and presumed destroyed by the rest of the fleet. Pictured on the right is the U.S.S. Prometheus. The Prometheus is an advanced starship which can separate into three separate spacecraft. In the fourth season of the series, the Prometheus became the first ship in the fleet to be contacted by Voyager after its disappearance. Both of these models are by Paragon. The PDF templates for the ships may be found here and here.

Tiny Papercraft Christmas Village

This tiny papercraft Christmas village designed by Kallboys depicts the Christmas Market in the town of Mondorf, Germany.

In the build photo above by saltacornu the template was printed at half the size of the original.

The Parthenon was completed in Athens, Greece around 432 BC and is considered by many to be the pinnacle of Doric temple architecture. Paper Garden showcases the papercraft work of Sakyo K. Also available on the same page as the Parthenon pop-up is a template for a pop-up of a Christian church.

Printable Monster Rampage Board Game

You gotta love a free board game, especially when it involves both papercraft and giant monsters terrorizing a city. ^^ This printable table top game is called "Smash Monster Rampage". The PDF downloads for the game include (among other things) templates for 3D buildings, 2D monsters, and a paper die. According to the authors, a single play of the game takes about one hour.

Scooby-Doo Papercraft: Velma, Shaggy and Daphne

Last month I posted a papercraft Scooby Doo by Guillermo Molina.  But wait! Scoob is not the only paper model of the Mystery Incorporated gang created by Molina. He also created templates for Velma, Shaggy, and Daphne (download them here). Now if someone would just create a papercraft Fred the set would be complete! ^^ Special thanks to Ronny for rounding up the links to the templates for me.

Fourth Anniversary!

Four years ago today I started blogging about my favorite hobby, papercraft! Here's thanks to every one who has supported my humble efforts over the years. It was only last year that it dawned on me that the anniversary of Tektonten Papercraft was also Guy Fawkes Day. So to celebrate anniversary day this year I have rounded up four different printable Guy Fawkes masks, two which are 3D and two which are 2D. Here are links to the templates for each of the four masks: One, Two, Three, Four.

Skyrim Papercraft: Septim Coins

The Septim coin is the main currency In the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim video game. According to the Skyrim Wiki:

"The Septim is named after the dynasty that rules the Septim Empire founded by Tiber Septim. It is officially called a Septim due to the bust of Tiber Septim on the obverse side. The legend on the obverse (front) is: The Empire is Law. The Law is Sacred. The reverse reads: Praise be, Akatosh and all the Divines."

The template for these papercraft Septims may be downloaded here. This is my third Skyrim papercraft release. Previously released were a Runed Lexicon Cube and a Dwemer Puzzle Cube.
