Faux Rolex Watch Papercraft

I am not entirely sure why someone would want to design a paper model of a faux Rolex watch, but then again who am I to talk? ;) The template for this model has no color, so to achieve the effect seen in the photo it must be printed on gold colored card stock. A download of the watch is available here. Photo and papercraft design by Matthew Nicholson.

Papercraft Rhinoceros

Here is another nicely detailed paper model based on a 3D model from the Zoo Tycoon 2 video game. This time we have a white rhinoceros! White Rhinos were once on the brink of extinction. But through conservation efforts their numbers have increased. The species is still, however, in danger from poachers. The template for this papercraft may be downloaded here.

Origami Christmas Advent Calendar

Christmas origami is not all that common, but here is one cute example: an advent calendar! This creative calendar consists of tiny origami bags that can be filled with treats. The bags may be scattered across a table top as is shown in the photo or they may be pinned to a string and hung like a garland. Information on how to construct the calendar may be found on the DIY blog, Look What I Made.

8th Anniversary!

Today marks the eighth anniversary of Tektonten Papercraft! It has been my practice on anniversary day to take a look back at my papercraft designs from bygone years. With the release yesterday of the Doctor Strange movie, the choice of which paper model to feature this year seemed obvious. This model of Doctor Strange's Eye of Agamotto was originally released 7 1/2 years ago. It is one of my first papercraft designs! The original post with a download of the template may be found here. Thank you everyone for your support over the last eight years!

Mix-n-Match Papercraft Robots

These papercraft robots look a little sinister, just the thing for a table top Halloween decoration. The fun thing about the robots is their parts are interchangeable. If I were six years old I would be playing with these for hours. ^^ The printable PDF template for the robots may be downloaded at Ravensblight.

Papercraft Scorpion

I think scorpions are one of the creepiest animals on the planet, so you will never find me building this paper model. ^^ This papercraft was created by a Japanese designer. The template for the model (which consists of four A4 size JPGs) may be downloaded here. The exact species of scorpion this papercraft depicts is the Arabian fat-tailed scorpion which is found primarily in North Africa and the Middle East.
