Wind Waker Tingle Tower Papercraft

Zelda Tower Bastelbogen
In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker video game, the hero Link journeys to several islands, one of which is a place called Tingle Island. On Tingle Island there is an elaborate tower with carved statues. The tower is named (as you might deduce) Tingle Tower. This paper model of Tingle Tower was created by Emily Stell at Paper Duplicator. The printable template for the model may be downloaded here. Video instructions are also available on the download page. In the game, Mr. Tingle (owner of the Tower) helps Link by translating nautical charts that show the locations of Triforce shards which are required to win the game.

Pop-up Papercraft Skull

Skull Bastelbogen
This pop-up paper skull was the 343rd skull Noah Scalin made as part of the "Skull-day-Project" he completed in 2008. Noah describes this piece as "more of a paper sculpture than a truly functional pop-up piece". The pop-up achieves a good 3D effect considering it has only three parts. Like to try making one yourself? The PDF template for the skull may be downloaded here.

Darth Maul Lightsaber Papercraft

Star Wars Lightsaber Bastelbogen
Remember in Star Wars: Episode 1 when Obi-Wan sliced Darth Maul's double-bladed lightsaber in half (then sliced Darth Maul in half)? ^^ This paper model is of Maul's battle damaged weapon from that scene. The Pepakura PDO template for the model may be downloaded here. I am not sure of the scale of the model. It appears to be close to 1:1 scale. No matter, the PDO file is unlocked, so it may scaled to any size you like. Interesting fact: Savage Opress, Maul's brother, also wields a two bladed light saber.

ThunderCats Mumm-Ra Papercraft

ThunderCats Bastelbogen
Mumm-Ra is an undead sorcerer who uses ancient, evil magic. Try as he might, he is never able to succeed in destroying his sworn enemies, the ThunderCats. This paper model of Mumm-Ra was created by Titan Papercraft. The Pepakura PDO template for the model may be downloaded here. The ThunderCats animated TV show first aired in the US in 1985.

NOTE: On my computer at least, in Pepakura Viewer, the textures for this model appear incorrect. However, if I print to PDF out of Pepakura Viewer then everything appears as it should. Hope this helps if you have the same problem as me.
