Cuphead Papercraft

Cuphead Bastelbogen
The highly praised video game, Cuphead, was released in 2017. Cuphead is a unique, visually distinctive game done in the style of 1930's cartoons. The storyline of the game follows the exploits of Cuphead and his brother Mugman who are forced to go on a quest after losing to the Devil in a craps game. These papercraft likenesses of Cuphead and Mugman are the work of DeviantART member RavaMaster. The Pepakura PDO template for the pair may be downloaded here.

Fallout 3 Combat Knife Papercraft

Video Game Weapon Bastelbogen
The first time I remember using a knife in a video game was in Wolfenstein 3D (1992) where a knife is the default weapon if you run out of ammo for your guns. Lots of first-person shooter games include a knife as a melee weapon. Pictured is a 1:1 paper model of the combat knife from Fallout 3 (2008). This model was created by Broken Papercrafts. The Pepakura PDO template for the papercraft may be downloaded here. The style of the Fallout combat knife is reminiscent of a Bowie fighting knife which was designed in the US in the early 19th century.

MapleStory Papercraft: Mixed Golem

Korean Video Game Papercraft
Back in 2008 when I first got into papercraft, there was a lot of buzz in papercraft circles about MapleStory papercraft from Korea. MapleStory is a 2D video game, so the fun thing about the papercraft was it allowed you to see how characters from the game might look in 3D. Anyhow, I came across this old MapleStory Mixed Golem paper model recently and it brought back a lot of good memories. The PDF template for the model may be downloaded here. In the video game, this and other types of golems may be found in the Golem Temple which is located in the city of Henesys.
