German Papercraft Castle

This paper model castle was originally published in the German language children's magazine Fixi und Foxi in 1983. The interesting thing about this particular model is that it was designed by Schreiber, a well known publisher of card models. The four page template for the model may be found here. I am unsure if this papercraft is a real or fictional building. The official title of the model is "Schloß Rosenberg" but a quick Internet search of that name did not reveal any real life buildings that look remotely like the model. If you have more information about this building please let me know.

Printable Minions Easter Egg Holders

Who would have thought when Despicable Me first came out that the Minions would become so immensely popular? Yet here they are even showing up as Easter decorations. These printable Minion Easter egg holders are offered by Fun.com. The only drawback to a Minion themed Easter is that all the eggs end up being yellow. That is unless you create some evil purple Minions as well ;) Included in the download are a collection of miscellaneous parts so you can create your own custom Minions.

Papercraft Tents

These papercraft tents were designed as a craft project for children to teach them about Priscilla and Aquila, a married couple mentioned in several books in the Christian New Testament. Priscilla and Aquila were tentmakers by trade. Three different tent models are available for download at the Jesus Without Words website. Not pictured is the "pup" style tent. These might be useful for miniature gaming, although they will probably need to be printed at a different scale if used for that purpose.
