Papercraft Skull No. 4: AvP

As promised back in November, here is another papercraft skull in my video game skull series. It has been over two years since the last skull! This skull is based on a 3D model from the Aliens vs Predator video game. I am not sure where exactly the skull appears in the game, but it is most likely a Predator's human trophy skull. The template download includes Letter and A4 PDF templates and a Pepakura PDO file. The scale of the skull is slightly smaller than life and matches the size of the previous skulls in the series which may be found here:

Circus Papercraft

The Sweet Paul Magazine website offers a free collection of circus papercraft. The templates in the collection are unique in that they are scans of hand-painted watercolors rather than the digitally produced images one usually sees. Included in the collection are the circus wagon pictured, as well as mini clown masks, playful monkey "drink buddies", and Rosamunda, a dancing elephant automata. The entire set may be downloaded as a single zip file here.

Life Size Incredible Hulk Papercraft

And in this corner, standing at 2 meters tall (yet weighing only a few pounds)... It's a life size papercraft Hulk! This is one of those paper models you have to be a little crazy to build. It wouldn't hurt to have a stockpile of ink cartridges for your printer either. The two part, 383 page Pepapkura PDO template was created by Metal Heart at Paper Juke and may be downloaded here.

DIY 3D Doctor Who Diorama Greeting Card

This 3d Doctor Who diorama was created by DeviantART member RudeAndGinger to be used as a greeting card. The card expands like an accordion to give a 3D view inside the good doctor's TARDIS.

To download the template and detailed instructions go here, right click on the image, and pick "save as" to save the PDF file.

Power Rangers Papercraft: Violet Wolf Ranger Helmet

In 2008, the sixteenth season of the Power Rangers television show aired in the US. The theme of the season was "Power Rangers Jungle Fury" and each of the Ranger's costumes had an animal theme. This is a full size paper model of the Violet Wolf Ranger's helmet. The Pepakura PDO template for the model was created by DeviantART member Joedme4 and may be downloaded here. Previously, I posted a papercraft Power Rangers Morpher Belt Buckle.

Realistic Papercraft Chicken

This delightful papercraft chicken is available for download here. Judging by the size of the template for the chicken, the finished model should be small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. I am impressed that such a small papercraft has so much detail!

Retro Ray Gun Papercraft

Ray at Ravensblight has added a delightful retro sci-fi pistol to his collection of free papercraft templates.  The gun, which is officially named an "electrospheric ray gun", would not look out of place in an episode of Flash Gordon. The template for the gun may be downloaded here.

This and several other architectural models may be downloaded from Monica's site here.
