Mummy Queen Paper Toy

If you are stuck at home waiting for trick or treaters to arrive at your door, building this cute mummy queen paper toy might be the thing you need to pass the time. ;) Here's some info on the paper toy:

"The Embalmed Queen features slot-in tabs, curved pieces and a closing lid, the model is built using six pieces on a single A4 page. The original design and model texture were designed by Castpixel and the paper engineering was implemented by Alex Gwynne"

The template for this printable may be downloaded at Fold Up Toys.

Egyptian Funerary Mask Papercraft

Egyptian Pharoah Mask Bastelbogen
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.

Nefertiti Bust Paper Model

Egyptian Sculpture Bastelbogen
Nefertiti was a queen who ruled in Egypt around 1350 BC. Her name was made famous because of a beautiful bust of her likeness that now resides in the Neues Museum in Berlin. Making use of a 3D scan, this paper model of the bust was created by BioM5. The printable templates required to build the bust are in Pepakura PDO format and may be found at Instructables.com. Nefertiti was the stepmother of King Tutankhamun, another famous name in the world of Egyptology.

Mini Sphinx Papercraft

Sphinx Bastelbogen
Several years ago Canon started making mini versions of their architecture papercraft. These models were intended for beginners. One of my favs from their mini collection is this Egyptian Sphinx model. And yes, the pyramid is included! The finished model is small enough to sit in the palm of your hand. PDFs of the template and the instructions are available on the Canon website. A free Canon account is required in order to download. This model takes about a hour to build.

Yu-Gi-Oh Winged Dragon of Ra Papercraft

In the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise, the Winged Dragon of Ra is one of the most powerful monster spirits.  The Winged Dragon is one of three major monsters based on Egyptian gods, the other two being Obelisk the Tormentor and Slifer the Sky Dragon. This papercraft likeness of the dragon was created by Anime Paper Toys and may be downloaded here.  Unfortunately, there are no instructions, but it is easy enough to figure out how to build the model if you look carefully at the photo.

D&D Egyptian Obelisk Paper Models

Sersa V over at the "SaveVersusDeath" Dungeons and Dragons blog created these Egyptian obelisk paper models for use as props with D&D miniature gaming figures. Officially titled "Obelisks of the Sun Kingdom", these monuments are easy one piece builds. I don't play Dungeons and Dragons so the best I could do for characters in the photo was to throw in some of my D&D version Heroscape figures. The template for the obelisks may be downloaded here.
