11th Anniversary!

Today is the 11th anniversary of Tektonten Papercraft! In the photo are all the pizza paper toys I have released to date. The oldest is the McDonald's pizza which I posted in February 2009! The newest (Freddy Fazbear's pizza) was posted just yesterday. The original posts for each pizza may be found here. If you are visiting Tektonten for the first time, please be aware that I do more types of paper models than just pizza. :) For those of you who are returning: Thank you! You are the reason I keep doing what I am doing and I am grateful for your support.

FNAF Pizza Paper Toy

My goal was to release this paper toy before Halloween, but as you can see, I didn't make it. :) This is the eighth entry in my ongoing series of pizza paper toys. The toy is a miniature pizza from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, the fictional restaurant featured in the spooky video game Five Nights at Freddy's. I wanted an equally creepy pizza for the box, so this one is a seafood pizza covered in mussels, squid, prawns, and crab (blech!). Printable PDFs for the toy may be downloaded here.

PS: This toy is also my 12th and final monthly papercraft release in celebration of 10 years of Tektonten Papercraft. A list of all 12 releases may be found here.

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.

1969 Chevy El Camino Papercraft

The Chevrolet El Camino was first introducing in 1959. Called a "coupe utility vehicle" by some, it was basically a station wagon adapted to have a bed like a truck. 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. The PDF template for the car may be downloaded here:

The original folding pattern was created by origami designer Michael LaFosse.
