Clone Wars Y-wing Paper Model

In the Star Wars universe, the BTL-B Y-wing assault starfighter first saw use during the Clone Wars. Later the BTL-B was modified into two different models, the BTL-S3 and the BTL-A4. The BTL-S3 supports a two man crew while the BTL-A4 is a one-man version of the craft.  Both starfighters were used by the Rebel Alliance in their struggles against the Galactic Empire. This paper model BTL-B was created by James Gemperline. A PDF file of the template for the model may be downloaded here.

Papercraft Tents

These papercraft tents were designed as a craft project for children to teach them about Priscilla and Aquila, a married couple mentioned in several books in the Christian New Testament. Priscilla and Aquila were tentmakers by trade. Three different tent models are available for download at the Jesus Without Words website. Not pictured is the "pup" style tent. These might be useful for miniature gaming, although they will probably need to be printed at a different scale if used for that purpose.

Vintage Papercraft Elephant Pagoda

There have been copies of this antique papercraft elephant pagoda floating around the Internet for years. Now thanks to someone at Wurlington Press we finally get to see what the finished model looks like! As far as I can tell from doing a little research, a real-life building like this probably did not exist. There are however numerous bronze statuettes and incense burners that are similar. Some of them are ancient. The template for the elephant pagoda was originally published in 1928 in the Danish magazine, Illustreet Familie-Journal. A scan of the template may be found here.
