The Paper vs Zombies blog hasn't posted any new Plants vs Zombies paper models since 2014. However, as of today's date, downloads of all their papercraft templates are still available. The models aren't easy to build, but if you are skilled enough to pull them off, the results are fabulous. Each of the paper video game characters was created from scratch using 3DS Max, Pepakura Designer, and Photoshop. If you are interested in building any of the models in this collection, download them now! You never know when they will be gone for good.

Here's a collection of cute miniature papercraft buildings from Markus at Digitprop. Markus describes the collection as:
Other papercraft from Digitprop:
Jonah and the whale
Dr.Frankenstein and monster
"...models of buildings, vehicles and infrastructure that are at a small scale, so that a whole city will fit on your desk. I kept the models as simple as possible, most being simple blocks, so that despite their scale, they are easy to build."The models shown in the photo are the first set in an ongoing series of paper buildings.

Disney's Frozen Origami: Olaf
Origami designer Michelle Fung calls this pattern "Happy Snowman", but we all know who it really is: Olaf from Disney's Frozen! ^^ Olaf was folded by Michelle from one uncut square of 20 inch kami paper, blue on one side and white on the other. The crease pattern for this origami is available on Michelle's website.

Star Wars Papercraft: Captain Phasma Helmet
Captain Phasma is one of my favorite characters in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, so I was happy to find this paper model of her helmet. The model comes in two sizes: life size and a scaled down version. The PDF templates for the helmet may be downloaded here. Captain Phasma is played by actress Gwendoline Christie who also stars in HBO's Game of Thrones as Brienne of Tarth.

Medieval Village Paper Models
Although this papercraft medieval village called "Inglemere" was created for use in RPG gaming, I can see it also being used during the holiday season as a Christmas village. I really like the bold graphics! Except for the well, all of the components were designed by DeviantART member MadunTwoSwords. The printable templates for the village may be downloaded here. The collection of buildings includes a well, a bridge, a cottage, a tall house, a tower, a barn, fences, coniferous trees, deciduous trees, and even some forest critters.
UPDATE 7/2/2019: Madun's DA page has been deactivated. :( The link above now points to an archived version of his page.
