I couldn't find any ruler around when I was taking pics so I put my DS beside it for comparing the thickness and size.

Star War Paper Model Kit 9f



For $12 bucks with free shipping, it's not bad for papercraft collectors and a great deal for Star Wars fans. This btw, is a gift - I didn't open the pattern because I want to buy a second one first (I always buy two copies), one to make/destroy and the other goes to my archive. I'll post pics of the finished models later on.

Earth Hour 2009 Papercraft

Posted by Ron | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 | 0 comments »

Earth Hour Papercraft 2009In participation with Earth Hour 2009, Paper-Replika brings you this Earth Hour papercraft symbolized by a light switch and ballot box.

This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming.

For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.


Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.

We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.

VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

Saturday, March 28, 8:30-9:30pm.

Sarajevo Sebilj Fountain Papercraft

Posted by Ron | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 | 0 comments »

Sebilj PapercraftLocated in what's known as "The Old Town", the Sebilj sits like a mushroom in the middle of Bašcaršija - the oldest part of Sarajevo. The Sebilj fountain stands on a seven-sided stone foundation with the rest of the structure comprised mainly of intricately carved wooden panels.

Hundreds of pigeons and tourists flock to the Sebilj on a daily basis, local merchants and townsfolk call out to the tourists to sell cups of corn so they can feed the pigeons for good luck. Because of this, visitors often refer to it as "the pigeon square".

Legend has it that if you drink the water from the Sebilj, you will not be able to leave Sarajevo for a long time - I wonder why? Me, I always stick to bottled water wherever I travel.

Die Glocke Papercraft - The Bell

Posted by Ron | Monday, March 23, 2009 | 10 comments »

Die Glocke (aka The Bell) is a part of the Nazi German occult and super-secret SS (Schutzstaffel) "wonder weapons" program during World War II that was said to be a time machine.

It's a metallica object shaped like a bell, hence the code name "Die Glocke" / The Bell. It stood 12-15 ft. tall, 9 ft. in diameter and comprised of two counter-rotating cylinders that rotated a highly radioactive substance code named "Xerum 525" (purplish liquid metal).

It is said that all the scientists and witnesses who saw or worked on the Bell were murdered by the SS to conceal any knowledge of the secret program.

Takoyaki Papercraft Dolls

Posted by Ron | Sunday, March 22, 2009 | 0 comments »


Here's a weird papercraft from Atelier Fare, the Takoyaki papercraft doll, a " takoyaki paper doll for fine weather" as the designer put it. What is it? let's break it down.


Takoyaki or Takoyaki balls refers to octopus dumplings that is a popular snack in Japan. It's comprised of octopus, tempura scraps, green onion, & pickled ginger - covered in batter and then either fried or baked (see vid below).



Now that you know what Takoyaki is, we go to the next one. Why is it shaped like a doll?

That part refers to Teru Teru Bozu (sunny monk), a traditional Japanese handmade paper or cloth doll with a string tied to its neck area and hanged on windows or porches to bring in sunny weather and ward off rain. The word "Teru" is a Japanese word that describes sunshine and "Bozu” is the name of a Buddhist monk.
Teru Teru Bozu
Now that you know what those words mean I'm pretty sure you've put two and two together, so here you go, six different takoyaki papercrafts with various flavors themes ^_^
