Half-Life 1 Papercraft: 357 Magnum

Someone correctly guessed the four images on my 15th anniversary post. So, as a "prize", I am releasing this paper model of the 357 Magnum from the Half-Life 1 video game. Printable templates for the model may be downloaded from Mediafire. Included in the ZIP download are a locked Pepakura PDO file (for reference when building), plus A4 and Letter size PDF templates. I tried to make the model as close to 1:1 scale as possible. You will notice the gun has no finger hole at the trigger! The 3D model that was the basis of this papercraft didn't have the hole and I chose to leave it as it was. If you are good at customizing papercraft, it should be no big deal to cut in a finger hole if you want one.

Papercraft Christmas Star Ornament

I like the geometric quality of this papercraft Christmas star ornament. I believe the technical name for this shape is the "first stellation of an icosidodecahedron". Please correct me if I am wrong. :) This papercraft is one of several different star ornaments that may be downloaded at the Brother Creative Center.  This star has 32 points. The other two stars in the series have 8 points and 14 points.

Egyptian Funerary Mask Papercraft

This life size papercraft mask is very close in design to the gold funerary mask of pharaoh Tutankhamun. However, it is missing some of the features of King Tut's mask like the vulture and the cobra on the forehead. I don't know the author of this paper model, but a link in the template seems to indicate it originated in Russia. The unlocked Pepakura PDO template for the model may be downloaded on Mediafire.

Pop-up Holiday House Papercraft

Canon offers a huge assortment of tiny DIY papercraft projects in their "Miniature World" collection. The seasonal pop-up books in the collection are some of my favorites. Pictured is their "Happy Holidays" book which features a four room pop-up house that is decorated for Christmas. This papercraft and many others may be found at the Canon Creative Park website. Canon estimates it will take 3 hours to build the house.
