Polygonal Nike of Samothrace Papercraft

The Nike of Samothrace or "Winged Victory" statue is one of the most famous statues on display at the Louvre Museum in Paris. It is thought to have been sculpted in the 2nd century BC as part of a monument to commemorate a naval victory. This simplified 3D polygonal paper model of the Nike was created by DeviantART member Gedelgo. Downloads of PDF and Pepakura PDO templates may be found here. The finished model stands about 15.75" (40 cm) tall.

Fantasy Castle Paper Model

Mike vom Mars used Cinema4D 3D modeling software to create a make-believe medieval castle. He then exported the model to Pepakura Designer and created a papercraft template. Pictured is a photo of the finished paper model with some grass and trees added for effect. Mike admits the architecture of the model is an odd mixture of styles seeing how he added a dome which was rarely used in the Middle Ages. The Pepakura PDO template for the model may be downloaded here.

The El Camino proved popular enough that Chevy continued to produce the vehicle through the 1987 model year. This paper model of a 1969 El Camino was designed by Kin Shinozaki for Daytona Magazine.

Origami Butterflies

It has been a while since I posted any origami. Time to remedy the origami drought. ;) Here are some origami butterflies I thought were really nice. A couple of different types are pictured, but the one that interested me the most was the swallowtail butterfly. Detailed video instructions for the swallowtail may be found here. The original folding pattern was created by origami designer Michael LaFosse.

Rustic Cottage Papercraft

This is my papercraft release for the month of August: a rustic cottage. I don't remember where I got the 3D model this is based on, but I have had it for a long time. I originally downloaded it to practice creating papercraft templates when I first started the hobby. The finished model is 1:48 scale, the same as Lego mini-figures and "O" scale model railroads. It might be used for miniature gaming, but it is at an odd scale for that purpose. The single page PDF template for the model may be downloaded here. Due to its small size, this model may not be suitable for beginners (I have the roof in mind). If you want an easier-to-build model, for the roof use only the piece with the red shingles, trimming away the fascia boards.  The two soffit pieces then may either be discarded or glued to the back of the shingles.
