Gatchaman God Phoenix Papercraft

When I was young, I used to watch an animated American TV show called G-Force. Much later, I discovered G-Force was an adaptation of the 1972 Japanese anime series, Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. In the Gatchaman show, the G-Force team's aircraft is called the "God Phoenix." The Phoenix is capable of both spaceflight and under water travel. Also, when the need arises, the ship can also initiate "Firebird Mode" and turn into a massive flaming bird. This paper model of the God Phoenix was created by Studio Time Ring. The Studio Time Ring website no longer exists, but templates and instructions for the model may still be downloaded HERE.

Zoids Zi-024 Command Wolf Papercraft

This Zoids Zi-024 Command Wolf papercraft has one of those templates that is incredibly difficult to build, but produces an excellent model if you have the skills to pull it off.

Golden Kamuy Papercraft

I really love the simple style of this chibi papercraft. However, I didn't know a thing about the Golden Kamuy manga / anime on which the papercraft is based. I had to dig some. What I found is Golden Kamuy follows the exploits of a Japanese veteran in the early years of the 20th century. The veteran's name is Saichi Sugimoto. This papercraft is of one of Sugimoto's antagonists in the series, Hyakunosuke Ogata. Villians Wiki describes Ogata as "a lone sniper, loyal only to himself." The PDF template and instructions for this papercraft may be downloaded at Muumin Craft. If the sniper rifle is not to your liking, alternate props for the figure include a rose and a coffee mug.

Pokémon Papercraft: Litten

Against my better judgement, after 7 years away, I have started playing the Pokémon Go video game again. Of course this inspires me to post more Pokémon papercraft. :) First up is this Litten papercraft by DeviantART member, RavaMaster. Litten is a seventh generation Pokémon that is basically a fire cat. It spits out flaming hairballs. Ha! In the anime, Ash Ketchum catches a Litten and manages, over time, to fully evolve it. The paper model comes in two sizes: 6" (15 cm) and life size. The template for the model is available in two formats: Pepakura PDO (open with Pepakura Viewer) and PDF. There are no instructions other than the PDO file. Links for the various downloads may be found on DeviantART.

One Piece Blackbeard Pirates Ship

As you may know, the One Piece anime is all about pirates. In the earlier episodes of the show, the group known as the Blackbeard Pirates makes use of a ship that appears to be a simple raft. Upon closer inspection however, it can be seen that the "raft" is built of redwood sized logs that have been hollowed out. Gun ports line every side. This papercraft likeness of the ship was created by GoPaper. The PNG format template may be found at this download link. Sorry folks, no instructions for this model! It should be easy enough to figure out, though, if you reference the photos while you build.
