ThunderCats Papercraft: Mumm-Ra Time Machine
It's time I finished the half-finished papercraft projects I have cluttering up my flash drive! Here's one I can mark off my list: Mumm-Ra's time machine. This pyramid-like time machine appeared in a single episode of the ThunderCats animated TV series. Mumm-Ra made use of the magical pyramid to travel through time and space in a plot to wreak havoc on the lives of his enemies, the Thundercats.I didn't have any particular purpose in mind for this paper model when I started, but it might work as a prop for miniature gaming. The mummy figure in the photo is from the Heroscape board game which has figures that are roughly 32mm / 1:48 / O Scale. The download (available here) includes A4 and Letter size PDF templates and a Pepakura PDO file for reference. Be warned, the doorway of the time machine is a tricky build!

Heroscape Dice Bowl Papercraft
In the Heroscape miniatures board game by Hasbro, players may roll as many as 12 dice at a time to determine the outcome of a battle. To keep the numerous dice corralled between rolls, Heroscape enthusiast "AliasQTip" created this unique papercraft dice bowl. The images inside the bowl are meant to resemble a dungeon, while the outside resembles castle walls emblazoned with crests from the Heroscape game. A PDF template of the dice bowl is available at the Heroscapers.com website here. (In a previous post of mine here, you will find a Heroscape dice tower which matches the bowl)

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.

Miniature Gaming Armored Truck Papercraft
This papercraft armored truck is intended to be used in superhero miniature gaming scenarios (The supervillians need something to rob, don't they? ^^) The scale of the truck is roughly 1:48 (or O Scale or 32mm, depending on which scale notation you choose), so it is the right size for both the Heroclix and Marvel Heroscape gaming systems. The template comes with optional opening doors for the rear of the truck and may be downloaded at the Heroscapers.com forum here.

Heroscape Papercraft Dice Tower
One of my favorite board games of all time is Heroscape. Heroscape is a customizable miniature gaming system that lets you build your own battlefields and create custom armies from a wide assortment of characters such as dragons, secret agents, robots, samurai, vikings, aliens, cowboys and orcs. You can imagine my delight when I found something that combines two of my favorite things: papercraft and Heroscape. This papercraft dice tower was created by a Heroscape enthusiast for use with the game and contains nice touches such as some surprise images on the baffles inside the tower that can be seen when looking down though the hole in the top. The template for the tower may be downloaded here.

Single Page Paper Dice Tower
When playing board games where rolling more than two dice is required, a dice tower comes in handy to keep the dice from ending up on the floor or scattering the game setup. In 2008 designer Russell Howell created a dice tower that can be printed on a single sheet of cardstock and assembled without glue. I used red cardstock for mine to add some color. The tower template may be downloaded here. An optional dice catcher tray extension to allow more dice to be rolled at once may be downloaded here. The green dice shown in the photo are special edition dice from the Heroscape gaming system.

Tabletop Graveyard Papercraft
This past Halloween I pieced together a tabletop graveyard decoration from several free paper models available on the internet. The miniature ghost, zombie and werewolf figures in the graveyard are from a customizable game called Heroscape. The scale of the graveyard is roughly 1:58 (28mm) with the finished scene being about 8" (20cm) by 10" (25cm) and 5 1/2" (13cm) tall. Models included in the scene are:
