It represents the city of Tsubame's kokutai (national identity / national character).

Four models to choose from, the first couple is a boy and girl basic model. The second pair is sport themed, archery for the girls and karate for the boys. Check them out.

Ultimate Papercraft 3D is a promising new alternative to the de facto standard Pepakura Designer (PD), it pretty much has the same features but with some new stuff (outlined above). I encourage the designers to download the demo and try it out. It's free to try and $39.95 to buy.

Will it unseat Pepakura in its unfolding throne? only time will tell. Do remember that Pepakura has a 10 year head start - it was called Tenkai back then.

Cactus Plant Papercraft

Cactus Plant PapercraftI would have rather opted for an anime or video game related papercraft from Chokipeta but there is none at the moment, so enjoy these cactus plant papercrafts that he did for Canon Creative Park (Japan).

They come in various size and shapes - from small and round to tall and columnar. They are often used as ornamental plants.
