Paper Airplane - Embraer Super Tucano

A multi-function versatile airplane manufactured by Brazilian aerospace conglomerate, Embraer. Primarily used by the Brazilian and Columbian air force for pilot training missions, counter insurgency, and light attack. Our friend Claudio Dias designed this great looking paper model and is available for download at the link below. I'm sure his home country of Brazil would be proud of him for this.

Transformers Papercraft - Starscream

We've had a ton of Transformers papercrafts posted before but this one just beats the rest when it comes to the appearance. This Starscream papercraft is based on the extremely awesome version of the Transformers film. The pattern is not as refined as I would have wanted it to be, but with a final product that looks like that (see pic above), I'm all for it. It's in PDO format so you'll need to download the Pepakura viewer to view the file, oh and one more thing, it's a massive 81 pages. Take your time kids, take your time.

Horse Racing Papercrafts

Considered to be one of the oldest equestrian sports in the world, horse racing is a sport that pits horses within a certain group to find out the quickest one. It's popularly called The Sport of Kings and is often associated with high stakes gambling. Just how popular is it? there's horse racing on every continent except for Antactica - for obvious reasons.



Today's modern horse racing involves extremely rich owners handing their prized horses to a trainer that looks after it, making sure that the horse is healthy and in great condition at all times. Then there's the highly skilled riders called jockeys, short in stature and light as a feather, they are able to get the horses to run even quicker.



We got horse racing papercrafts today from a Japanese site dedicated to the sport and is aptly named Paper Horse Park. The site has two sections, one for the regular paper models based on Japan's prominent race horses and the other, pictured above, is of the cute and mini variety. Gallop away.

SpaceShipOne Papercraft

I know most of you have either read or heard about SpaceShipOne, a spaceplane developed by Burt Rutan's Scaled Composites that won the Ansari X PRIZE. As a privately funded spacecraft it has achieved many historic "first" in its category (exceed Mach 3, exceed 100km altitude, and reusability). Developing this spaceplane wasn't cheap, it was estimated to cost $25 million, and all that was paid for by Microsoft co-founder and $18 billion dollar man Paul Allen - I'm sure it was chump change to him.

A 1:48 scale papercraft version of SpaceShipOne is available from the Currell Graphics web site designed by Ralph Currell. It is accompanied with a display stand (separate pattern) designed by Sean Huxter(Doctor Who). The're are also other great paper models available on the site that you can download, including various airships, buildings, and an RMS Titanic papercraft.

Toro and Kuro Papercraft

We had the Toro papercraft (aka Sony Cat) last year from the Dokodemoissyo site, here's a different version from papercraft designer and cat lover Maira. There's two paper models this time, Toro plus his black alter ego Kuro. These papercrafts are unique because the designer opted to put hinges on some of the joints to make it poseable to a cetain degree.

Maira has even put up a photo instruction page so that we don't get in trouble with the hinges. Check it out.

Powerful Pro Baseball Papercraft

I was looking around the Konami web site when I found this baseball papercraft, it's from a long running video game series in Japan called Jikkyo Powerful Pro Yakyu (Live Powerful Pro Baseball) or Power Pro for short. It was created by Konami originally for the Super Famicom but has also landed on other console platforms such as the Sega Saturn, PlayStation, Nintendo 64, PlayStation 2, Dreamcast, GameCube, and more recently, the Nintendo Wii. They also had a version of the game for the handheld systems called Power Pro-kun Pocket, this one was available for the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, and the PlayStation Portable.

The character design on the game has a comic feel to it, they are shown as having a very wide head with no mouth, nose, ears, and hair - only eyes. They have a body with arms and hands (fingerless) attached, and feet with no legs. This characteristic is applied to the baseball papercraft pictured above.

To download the pattern, head to the bottom of the page to find the download link. You can check the photo below for a visual guide.

Osama bin Laden Papercraft

Here is America's most hated and despised Islamic terrorist leader in paper model form, this is the Osamba bin Laden papercraft from Recortables.net



Recortables is a Spain-based papercraft site (hosted in Argentina), the site has a caricature look to their paper models and has well-known world figures depicted this way. The papercrafts include US president George W. Bush, Pope Benedict XVI, Juan Carlos I - King of Spain, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero - Prime Minister of Spain, and some more popular Spanish personalities. The patterns for their papercrafts are pretty good, folds and creases are well placed to make the building process simple.

Command Conquer Papercraft - Mammoth Tank

Fico86 at the Unofficial Command and Conquer papercraft site has made the Mammoth Tank available for download.

For dial-up users, the PDF file has both the instructions and pattern on it but hasn't been fully web optimized - comes in at 23MB.
