Transforming G1 Optimus Prime Papercraft

This papercraft Optimus Prime is ultra pose-able when in robot form and may be transformed into Optimus' semi-trailer truck form. The transformation is made possible by using string or rubber bands at the model's joints. This papercraft was created by Paper Robots, which apparently no longer exists, but a copy of the printable template is still available here. Sorry, there are no instructions on how to transform from robot to vehicle mode. I think you can figure it out, though. ;)

Papercraft Iris Glasses

I really like these functional papercraft iris glasses. I think they would make a good prop as part of a steampunk Halloween costume. Instructions and templates for the glasses may be found at the Instructables website. Iris mechanisms like this have been used in cameras for over a century.

UPDATE 5/26/20: It has been brought to my attention this papercraft has errors! :( However, this has not prevented people from completing the model. Here are some helpful blog posts from 2005 that show some of the problems and how to fix them: http://webduderick.blogspot.com/2005/09/

Printable Totoro Origami

I hate to use the term "printable origami" but that is pretty much what these origami Totoros are. Instead of using a pre-colored square of paper like is done in traditional origami, a square is printed from a PDF file. Graphics for the Totoro's face and belly are positioned on the square so they end up in the right place after the folding is complete. The templates for these Totoros were created by Paper Kawaii and maybe downloaded here. Totoros are one of the many characters to be found in the animated movies produced by the Japanese company, Studio Ghibli.

Other Origami Characters:

Marvel Comics' Iron Man
Disney's Wall-E
Star Trek Mr. Spock
Star Wars Yoda
LotR Nazgul

Ready Player One DeLorean Papercraft

Inside the virtual reality game in Ready Player One, the hero of the movie, Wade Watts, drives a DeLorean like the one seen in the movie Back to the Future. However, Watts' car has some additional modifications. First, the car has been equipped with the on-board computer and red scanner of the Pontiac Firebird from the Knight Rider television show. Second, the car's license plate reads "ECTO-88", a homage to the Ghostbusters ambulance which has the license plate "ECTO 1". This papercraft model of the DeLorean was created by Paperized Crafts. The printable template for the model may be downloaded here.

Printable Harry Potter Monopoly

This printable Harry Potter Monopoly board is not a scan of the store bought version of the game.  It is a work of fan art produced by  a Harry Potter blog in the Netherlands. Except for the houses and hotels, everything you need to play is included. I like that the instruction book for the game is made to look like a Marauder's Map.  :) The game is available in both Dutch and English language versions. The PDF templates for the English version of the game may be downloaded here.

UPDATE 12/18/19: The game pictured above is no longer available. The link in the post above now points to an alternate Harry Potter Monopoly. Unlike the original version which was 100% printable, the alternate version requires modifying a real Monopoly board.
