I got to looking at the Kaonashi Mask papercraft I did back in January and it occurred to me that the shape of the mask was pretty close to the shape of Spider-Man's mask. As an experiment, I re-colored the Kaonashi template. I was pleased with the result, so I thought I would post it for download. While the mask is full sized and can be worn (you are on your own in figuring out where to cut the eye holes!), I suspect that most people who build this will use it as more of a decorative object. With that in mind, I added to the template an optional cover to enclose the back and to provide extra support to help the mask keep its shape. I have also included two PDF templates in the download, one for a full size mask and one for a miniature mask. Look for more Marvel masks in the future! The template info for the Spider-Man mask is as follows:

What these two unrelated skull papercraft have is common is that they were both ripped from video games. On the left is a golden skull treasure reward from Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation. On the right is a skull that appears in a treasure chest in American McGee's Alice. The original templates for these were both very small so I enlarged them so that each template was as large as possible yet still fit on one sheet of letter size paper. The resulting skulls are 2.5" (6.4 cm) and 1.75" (4.4 cm) tall. The Tomb Raider skull was ripped and unfolded by Alex at Saschacraft Papercraft and may be downloaded here. The Alice treasure chest skull was ripped and unfolded by the Webdude and is available for download here.
In 2008, Nokhookdesign hand-screen T-shirt shop in Thailand sponsored the "Nokhook Paper Toy Project" in which a blank template was issued along with a call for original papertoy designs. This papertoy is one of the many designs that resulted. Based on the character "Eve" in the Disney movie Wall-E, this template was created by the owner of the DIY+ blog and is available for download here.
In the epic Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, the weapon of choice of the fierce Uruk-hai orcs is a wide bladed scimitar. In this film clip, several examples of the sword can be seen...
This miniature papercraft version of the orc blade has only four parts and is fairly easy to build. Full template information is as follows:
Scale: 1:3 Finished Size: 10.5" (26.7 cm) long Number of sheets: 1 Number of parts: 4 Difficulty: 2/5 Download: Here
When comic artist Matt Brooker couldn't find an appropriate backdrop for photographing his collection of miniature Doctor Who Dalek toys, he created this modular Sci Fi corridor system out of cardstock. The possibilities of Brooker's system are endless. The corridors might be used as a background for photographing Sci Fi papercraft or to create a papercraft diorama. The system might also be used for miniature gaming.What appear to be light fixtures on the ceiling of the corridor are actually nothing more than holes that allow outside light to enter. PDF templates of the various components of the corridor system may be downloaded here. More photos may be seen here.
Alfred E. Neuman is the iconic fictional mascot of the long running American satirical magazine, Mad. Since he was first seen on the front of Mad in the mid 1950's, Alfred has appeared on all but a handful of covers invariably accompanied by the printed phrase "What, me worry?" This mask is a scan from an old issue of Mad and may be downloaded here.
While it may look like some kind of science fiction cockroach, this papercraft is of an actual animal that lived on Earth millions of years ago. Trilobites were a group of marine animals that according to scientists became extinct around 250 million years ago. This paper model trilobite was originally created by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation to teach children about fossils. The one page, hand drawn template for the trilobite may be downloaded from the Houston Gem and Mineral Society website here.
In the 1982 movie Tron ominous hovering vehicles called "recognizers" are used by the army of the villainous Master Control Program to capture programs and guard the game grid. The designer of this papercraft has attempted an accurate recreation of an recognizer even going as far as using clear acrylic rods to give the illusion that the individual parts of the recognizer are hovering separate from one another just as they appear in the movie. Downloads of both color and un-colored templates are available here. A template for a display stand is also available. This model is the work of Marco Scheloske, Germany, 2003.
