Dune Spice Harvester Papercraft

Knowing a new Dune movie is coming out in December has got me eager for some Dune papercraft. This spice harvester paper model by DeviantART member The4ce is based on the harvester that appears in the 1984 Dune movie. The PDF template for the model may be downloaded here. In the Dune universe, spice is the slang name of the valuable drug, melange, which is essential for space travel.

In the game, the video for the song "Close and Open, Demons and the Dead" has Hatsune with a kitsune mask on her head. This full size paper model of her mask was created by DeviantART member Gankutsu-o-taku.  The Pepakura PDO template for the mask may be downloaded here. Kitusne masks are fun fox themed masks worn during certain Shinto festivals in Japan.

World Trade Center Paper Model

Twin Towers Papercraft
Not long after the events of September 11, 2001, paper model designer Joe Cangero created a simple paper model of the twin towers. Joe offered the model to others for free, with the encouragement to donate to one of the World Trade Center relief funds that were in place at the time. In the nineteen years since the loss of the towers, many have found building Joe's model therapeutic. May the world never see such a tragedy again. The PDF template for this model is still available and may be downloaded at cardmodelers.org.
