Loggerhead Turtle Papercraft

I believe this papercraft turtle was originally offered by the Hiwasa Chelonian Museum in Japan. The museum is dedicated to the loggerhead sea turtle. The papercraft was created for the museum by master designer Goto Kei. Although the museum no longer offers the turtle, it can still be downloaded from an Internet archive located here. Please be aware that after following the link, the download buttons for the PDF template and PDF instructions will be "invisible". Hover your cursor in the blank space to the left of the turtle's head and the buttons will appear. Loggerhead turtles may be found in oceans around the world. Build photo by Vermin King.

Kaiju Papercraft: Gamera

Gamera is, well, a giant prehistoric flying turtle. I always thought he was just another one of Godzilla's many foes. Turns out, I was wrong. The two have never met on the big screen. Gamera is a star in his own right, to date having appeared in twelve movies bearing his name. This papercraft Gamera was created by Chimpun. The Pepakura PDO template for the model may be downloaded from the Pepakura Gallery. This model is smaller than it may look. It will easily fit in the palm of your hand!

Papercraft Green Sea Turtle

Green sea turtles live in oceans around the entire globe. The turtle's name is derived from the green fat that is found beneath their shells. This papercraft green sea turtle was created by DeviantART member DrWheelieMobile and is based on a 3D model from the Zoo Tycoon video game. A printable template for the turtle model may be downloaded here. As green sea turtles' coloring varies, there are four different versions of the template included in the download. Green sea turtles are protected by law in most countries of the world.
