Spaceball One Paper Model

Spaceball One Bastelbogen
Spaceballs is a 1987 spoof of the original Star Wars movie from 1977. In the movie, the parody of Darth Vader, Dark Helmet, has an enormous starship named Spaceball One. This miniature papercraft of the Spaceball One was created by paper model designer, Rawen. There are lots of nice touches in the detailing of the model, like the inclusion of the "WE BRAKE FOR NOBODY" bumper sticker on the back of the ship, as seen in the movie. The PDF template for the model may be found at this download link. Included in the download is a bonus template to build a 1/250 scale model of everyone's favorite flying Winnebago, the Eagle 5.

Mini Papercraft Pixar Up! House

Up! Haus Bastelbogen
Since 2011, I have posted two different paper models of Carl's house from the Disney Pixar movie UP!. One of the models was tiny, very detailed, and hard to build. The other was larger, simple, and easy to build. Pictured is a third model of the house that blends the best of the previous two models: it is miniature, yet easy to build. This papercraft was created by Nika at Tiny Craft World. The PDF template for the house is available at this webpage.

Papercraft Minecraft Rubik's Cube

Rubik's Cube Bastelbogen
Someone has actually created a DIY, functional Rubik's Cube out of paper! I am impressed! And if that wasn't enough, it comes in two versions: a regular version and Minecraft version. This masterpiece of paper engineering was created by Daniel Stabile. Printable templates and instructions may be found at Daniel's Instructibles.com page. Although invented in 1974, the Rubik's cube was not introduced to the US until 1980.
