Mini Zoids Command Wolf Papercraft

Paper model designer Masayui has graciously released this miniature Zoids Command Wolf as a craft activity for people to do while under quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic. The finished model is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand! The template download and photo instructions may be found on Masayui's blog here. Zoids began in the 80's as a toy line of robotic animals which has grown over the years into a franchise that includes not only toys but also video games, anime, and manga.

Easy Mayflower Papercraft

Educational Papercraft Pilgrim Ship
I don't know about you, but I have had a tough time over the years finding any decent free Thanksgiving themed papercraft. Most of it is too simplistic for my taste. Although still an easy build, this Mayflower paper model is a step up from the usual fare. The template for the model is offered by the Dorking Museum & Heritage Centre and may be downloaded here. The city of Dorking, by the way, is the city in England that six of the Mayflower's passengers called home before departing for North America in 1620. You will need more than just paper to build this papercraft. The instructions call for the masts to be wooden kebab sticks (a chop stick or a dowel rod might also work).

12th Anniversary!

Today is the 12th anniversary of Tektonten Papercraft! As is my custom on this day, I am taking a moment to look back on some of the papercraft I have created since starting the hobby in 2008. This year, I am remembering my 1:1 scale paper models of Star Wars devices. Pictured are electrobinoculars, a Clone Wars Jedi holocron, a Versafunction88 datapad, and a training remote. Thanks to everyone who has visited my blog in the past 12 years. I greatly appreciate your support!

Marvel Comics Galactus Papercraft

Galactus is one of the most powerful entities in the Marvel Comics universe. He is an enormous cosmic being who feeds on the life force of planets. More than once, he has attempted to destroy the Earth to satisfy his insatiable hunger. This "cubee style" papercraft Galactus was created by Jepi. The seven Pepakura PDO files for the model may be downloaded here. The finished model stands about 13" (33 cm) tall. Galactus has never appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe aside from a shadowy silhouette in the 2007 Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer movie.
