Ornate Equatorial Sundial Paper Model

This fully functional ornate sundial paper model was created by Secanda. Specifically, this is an "equatorial sundial" which the designer explains as:

"...its dial is parallel to the plane of the equator and its axis is parallel to the axis of rotation of the earth. It is therefore a kind of flat model of the terrestrial globe."

Secanda goes on to explain that a equatorial sundial is universal as it will work anywhere on the planet with no other modification than adjustments to the orientation and inclination of the disc. The printable PDF template for the model along with instructions in English and French may be downloaded here.

Gypsy Wagon Papercraft

The wagons used by European Gypsies go by many names: caravan, vardo or simply "living wagon". The wagon pictured is a paper model of Madam Eva's caravan from the Neverwinter: Revenloft video game.  This free printable papercraft was released to promote the release of the game in 2016. The PDF template for the wagon is still available and may be downloaded here. As you might guess, Madam Eva is a fortune teller in the game.

Papercraft Treasure Chests With Gold Bricks

I love papercraft treasure chests! Especially when they come with golden treasure inside! These particular chests are just about the right size to be used as props for role playing games or miniature gaming. The larger chest is about 2" tall. The smaller is about 1" tall. The Pepakura PDO templates for everything you see may be downloaded here. Sadly, there are no instructions. Papercraft design by Ken.

Military Hummer Papercraft

This military Hummer paper model is one of several papercraft cars designed by Kim Shinozaki for Daytona, a Japanese car magazine that showcases American cars. The papercraft template for this "AMGC Hummer" was originally published sometime in the 90's (I think) in issue 56 of Daytona. A scan of the template may be found here. The scale of the finished model is 1/27.

The model is 1:100 scale and includes several cars seen in the movie, as well as 2D character cutouts of Kevin, Marv and Harry. The PDF template for the model may be downloaded here.
