Star Wars AT-ST Paper Model

Star Wars Bastelbogen
This papercraft is a rework by Fred Smith of Shunichi Makino's AT-ST model which he released in 2002. Smith improved on Makino's model in several ways. Weathering and battle scarring were added. The paper handrail on top was replaced with wire. The front windows were constructed to be open rather than closed. All exposed paper edges were colored black. These changes make for a much more realistic model than the original. The JPG format template for Smith's repaint may be downloaded here. The first appearance of an AT-ST in a Star Wars movie was the Battle of Hoth scene in The Empire Strikes Back.

Mini Harry Potter Paper Toy

In 2011, I posted about Gus Santome's Harry Potter paper toys. Now in 2020, Gus has finally released another character in the series. This one happens to be Harry himself! What took you so long, buddy? ;) Like all of Gus' paper toy characters, Harry is double sided. One side has a smiling face, the other a face with a startled look. As a bonus, Gus has included tiny paper models of all seven of the Harry Potter books. The finished books are about 1" (2.5 cm) tall. A printable PDF template for this toy may be downloaded here.

G1 Transformers Papercraft: Bumblebee

G1 Transformers Bastelbogen

In most of the Transformers movies released to date, the robot character Bumblebee has the ability to convert into a yellow Chevy Camaro. However, in the 2018 Bumblebee movie, the title character is shown transforming into a yellow Volkswagen Beetle instead. This switch to a VW was a deliberate nod to the Generation 1 Transformers Bumblebee toy which also transformed into a Beetle. This G1 Bumblebee papercraft was created by Tosanaji Prakoso and KM Shofaun. Both PDF and Pepakura PDO templates for the model may be downloaded here. Generation 1 Transformers toys were produced by Hasbro Company in the late 80's.
