Papercraft Star Trek Playset

Here's a fun little papercraft playset of the Star Trek TOS bridge. The playset features hand drawn art and comes in an easy to assemble 2.5D format. The various pieces of the diorama may be found in the DeviantART gallery of MadunTwoSwords.  The floor and walls work better when they are glued to cardboard or foamcore.

Printable Castle Dice Tower

I am always on the lookout for papercraft dice towers. Found one! This printable tower is in the form of a castle (quite appropriate for medieval themed RPG games that make use of dice). Dice are dropped in the top and, by way of baffles inside, the dice are neatly rolled without falling off the table. The pattern for the tower was created by Marc Vela and may be downloaded here. Instructions are available in Spanish only.

Frank Lloyd Wright Guggenheim Museum Paper Model

Designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in the early 1940's, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum has become a landmark building in New York City. Completed in 1959, the building was extensively renovated in 1992. As part of the renovation a 10 story limestone tower was added at the rear of the complex. This paper model of the Guggenheim was created by Regína Orálková. A copy of her PDF template may be downloaded here.

Origami Unicorn

Origami artist Jo Nakashima has dozens and dozens of origami tutorials on his YouTube channel. Here is one of my favorites from the bunch: a unicorn! Jo's videos have a slow, careful pace that is helpful for those less skilled in the art (like myself ^^).  Other origami tutorials by Jo include dragons, dinosaurs, rabbits, insects, and even a capybara!
