Mad Cat IV Mech Papercraft

The BattleTech universe focuses on the distant future where giant mechs are used as weapons of war. The BattleTech franchise has two main components: BattleTech (tabletop wargaming) and MechWarrior (tactics video games). This Mad Cat IV mech papercraft (if I am not mistaken) is from one of the MechWarrior video games. The Pepakura PDO template was created by Whammy and may be downloaded from MediaFire. The template comes with skins than may be customized, if you have the Photoshop skills to do so.

MechWarrior Mad Cat Papercraft

I liked this Mad Cat (Timber Wolf) paper model because it was created from scratch rather making use of a 3D model from one of the MechWarrior video games. The Mad Cat is a fan favorite mech from the BattleTech franchise of board games and video games. The printable papercraft template for the model was created by DeviantARTist Walter-NEST and may be downloaded here. The model is approximately 1:50 scale and stands 8" (21 cm) tall when complete.

MechWarrior 4 Kodiak Papercraft

Here's a paper model of the Kodiak mech from the MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries PC game. According to the BattleTechWiki:

"The Kodiak's primary armament consists of devastating short-range weaponry... These powerful weapons enable the Kodiak to savage any foe, but care must be taken with the limited ammunition at the MechWarrior's disposal. The 'Mech supplements its primary weaponry with eight Series 2a ER Medium Lasers, four above each hand set into a claw-like array."

The template for the model was created by Blaar at the Mech3.org forum and may be downloaded here.

MechWarrior 4 Arctic Wolf Papercraft

Here's another fine mech papercraft from the folks at the Mech3.org forum. This time it is an Arctic Wolf from the MechWarrior 4 video game. According to the Battletech Wiki, the Arctic Wolf is "fast medium mech designed to close quickly and unleash over forty short-range missiles at an opponent before withdrawing just as quickly." This paper model was created by forum members Dark133 and BlaaR and may be downloaded here. (Pepakura PDO format only)

MechWarrior 4 Zeus Papercraft

Here's another 1:40 scale MechWarrior 4 paper model by Shiftdel at the Mech3.org forum. This particular model is of the Zeus, known in the MechWarrior world for it's excellent long range sniper capabilities. A download of the template (Pepakura PDO format only) is available here. The original model comes in a snow camouflage color scheme, but MechWarrior fan, CMOSturm, has created twelve additional skins for the model (all of which are included in the download).  One of CMOSturm's skins is shown on the right.

MechWarrior 4 Vulture Papercraft

Here is another fine MechWarrior 4 papercraft from the folks at the Mech3.org forum. In the MW4 universe this battle mech got tagged with the name "Vulture" due to its hunched shoulders and protruding head which are reminiscent of its namesake. This 1:40 scale papercraft is the work of forum member, Shiftdel and may be downloaded here. The template is available in Pepakura PDO format only.

MechWarrior 4 Cargo Truck Papercraft

Here's another papercraft from the guys at the Mech3.org forum. This MechWarrior 4 cargo truck was 3D modeled, texture mapped, and unfolded by forum member "SHIFTDEL". Available in Pepakura PDO format only, the template may be downloaded here. Building this 1:40 scale model looks to be relatively simple as there are only 14 parts contained on 4 pages. Just the thing for a beginning papercrafter!

MechWarrior 3 Papercraft: Shadow Cat

The Shadow Cat is one of the more popular medium class mechs available in the MechWarrior 3 video game. Weighing in at 45 tons, it is fast, has jump jets, and is capable of carrying a wide range of weapons. This papercraft version of the Shadow Cat is the creation of "MadCatManiac" and "Cantaris" at the Mech3.org forum. Pictured above is the desert camouflage color scheme which is my favorite out of the eight color schemes available. A download of the eight templates may be found here. The templates are available in Pepakura PDO format only.

Update 2/14/2010:

I received an e-mail from MadCatManiac who filled me on the details of the creation of this model. The following Mech3 forum members were involved in the project: Eaterofpies (ripped the 3D model from the video game), MadCatManiac (created the template from the 3D model) and Cantaris (applied textures to the model).

Walking MechWarrior Automata

Here is one of the best paper automata I have come across in ages. Creator Jonathan Hodgins, claims this is his first attempt at paper automation, but he has done an expert job! The model is specifically the Madcat - Timberwolf type battle mech from the MechWarrior video game series. The PDF template for the automata, along with photo instructions, may be downloaded here.  If you are in the mood to customize, included in the download is a color-it-yourself blank template.
