He-Man Papercraft: Orko

In the original 1983 He-Man animated series, the character, Orko, provides the comic relief for the show. Orko is from the planet, Trolla. The Trollans are magical folk who levitate from one place to another rather than walking. This Orko papecraft was created by Titan Papercraft. The template for this paper model is available in Pepakura PDO format only and may be downloaded from Titan's MediaFire page. The most current entry in the He-Man franchise is the Masters of the Universe movie which was released on June 5, 2026.

Star Wars AT-AT & AT-ST Papercraft

Here are two 1/250 scale Star Wars paper models from my friend Masayu-i in Japan. The models are the All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) and the All Terrain Scout Transport (AT-ST) as seen in the Star Wars Episodes V and VI movies. Masayu-i has designed these models to reduce waste; the goal being no extra scraps, no unnecessary gluing tabs. Links to the PNG templates for these models are below.

The 1/250 template for the AT-ST includes a bonus snowspeeder model!

Low Poly Papercraft Bear Wall Art

Paper Iconic, the creator of this low poly bear papercraft, describes his creation as "bas-relief." Bas-relief is an ancient technique of stone carving where sculpted 3D figures project ever so slightly from a flat background. The dimensions of the bear from the front are roughly 16" (40 cm) x 8" (20 cm), yet the depth of the bear is only 2.6" (6.6 cm). The template and instructions for this wall art may be downloaded from Pepakura Gallery. As the template is white, it is not explained how to achieve a black bear, as pictured. The only two options I can think of are: 1) to paint the finished model or 2) print the template on dual sided black and white cardstock so that the template is printed on the white side and then fold "backwards" so the black is on the outside.

Low Poly Easter Bunny Papercraft

This low poly papercraft bunny makes an elegant Easter decoration. The printable PDF template for the model may be downloaded from supercoloring.com. Instructions are included in the download. You will notice the template includes numbers on the parts, as well as numbers on the glue tabs. These numbers are meant to be on the inside of the completed model. To accomplish this, dashed lines (-----) need to folded as "valley folds" and dash dot lines (._._.) need to be folded as "mountain folds." This is the opposite of how most papercraft is folded.

Lost Pokémon Kotora Paper Toy

Until today, I never realized there were unreleased Pokémon! These are sometimes called "lost Pokémon." One of the most famous of these unrealized designs is an electric tiger called "Kotora." Kotora was originally designed for the 1996 Game Boy game, Pokémon Red and Blue, but was ultimately never used. Kotora sports a lighting bolt on his chest and has a zig-zag tail similar to Pikachu. This paper toy fan art of Kotora was created by DeviantART member, MagicBunnyArt. The single page PNG template for the toy may be downloaded from her DeviantART page.

Predator Scout Ship Papercraft

Czech paper model designer, Rawen, created two different paper models of the Yautja scout ship seen in the original Predator movie. Rawen describes the models as:

"Two versions of the spaceship that we could see in the first seconds of the movie, Predator (1987). The model of the ship for the movie was very low detailed, as it only flashed on the screen. You can glue together both, this simple version and a much more colorful version based on my imagination."

The "colorful version" he mentions is pictured. Rawen offers a free download of the PDF templates for both ships on MediaFire.
