Battlestar Galactica Papercraft Collection

Science Fiction Bastelbogen
The second Battlestar Galactica television series aired from 2004 to 2009. During its five year run, it featured all types of starships, aircraft, and land rovers. Over the years, fans of the show have produced paper models of many of these vehicles. The Steve's Paper website has gathered over 25 of these models in one place. Pictured are a few examples. Some of them are rather large! The download page for the Galactica models on Steve's Paper is located: here.  Happy building!

Other Science Fiction Papercraft:

Hal 9000 Interface
Colonial Viper Mk 1
AvP Xenomorphs
Moon Rover
Space 1999 Eagle

Mini P-51 Mustang Paper Model

Prudenziati Airplane Bastelbogen
This mini P-51 Mustang paper model is a scale model of the aircraft flown by Captain Ed Toppins during World War II. Toppins was one of the most decorated pilots of the squadron known as the "Tuskegee Airmen". The model was designed by one of my favorite designers, Zio Prudenziati. The PDF template for the papercraft may be downloaded here. The Tuskegee Airmen are often called "Red Tails" due to the distinctive tail color of their aircraft. Build photo by Masahiko Yamamoto.

Origami Marvel Wolverine Claws

Marvel Comics Origami
I thought these origami versions of Wolverine's adamantium blades were fun. If you bend your fingers and hold your hand just right, you can make it appear as if the claws are coming out of the back of your hand, just like Wolvey. This origami was created by TLT Lab. Their video with detailed folding instructions is located here. Wolverine first appeared in Marvel Comics way back in 1974!

Other Papercraft Blades:

Mini Uruk-hai Sword
Star Trek Terran Empire Knife
Fionna's Crystal Sword
Fallout 3 Combat Knife
Kingdom Hearts Dream Sword

Papercraft Fish Series

Fish Bastelbogen
Mikio Kajiwara is a professional papercraft designer. He is also a fisherman. For fun, in his spare time, he designs paper models of the fishes he loves. The four papercraft fishes pictured here (plus two more) are available for free from Kajiwara's website located here. Kajiwara's goal with these models is to make them as accurate to the real fish as possible, yet remain simple to build. I think he succeeded!
