Guyver Unit Papercraft

Un-Activated Guyver Unit Papercraft
In the Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor anime, items called "G-units" are activated to become organic suits of armor containing powerful weapons. I created this 1:2 scale paper model of an un-activated G-unit as a favor for a Guyver fan I know. The texture for the model is based on art by DeviantART member, Cosedimarco. PDF templates along with a Pepakura PDO file for the model may be downloaded here. The completed model measures 7.5" (19 cm) in diameter.

Baby Yoda Papercraft

It seems everyone's favorite character on The Mandalorian TV show is "The Child" (or as fans are fond of calling him: "Baby Yoda"). Lots of fan art paper models of the little guy have begun to pop up. This model by Claudio Dias is one of the more realistic ones. The PDF template for the model may be downloaded here. Claudio doesn't list the size of the model, but it appears to be in the range of 6" to 8" tall, which would make it roughly a half-size (1:2 scale) model. The second season of The Mandalorian is set to be released on Disney+ in October 2020.

Honda CBR1000RR Motorcycle Papercraft

To keep boredom away while trapped indoors during the coronavirus pandemic, the Musashi Company is offering a papercraft motorcycle free of charge. The model is of the Honda CBR1000RR used by the MuSASHi RT HARC-PRO racing team. The PDF file for the model may be downloaded here. With a template that is only two pages, it is sure to be a quick build. The CBR1000RR also goes by the name "Fireblade" in some markets.

Captain Phasma Paper Sculpture

I like to think of this Captain Phasma model as "papercraft bas-relief". Intended to be seen from the front only, the model uses curved pieces of card stock to give it a 3D effect. Phasma was designed by papercraft artist, Mookeep. A download of the template is available from his website here. Captain Phasma was the first female stormtrooper to appear in a live action Star Wars movie.
