SpongeBob Squarepants



Here's an easy one for the kiddos, a SpongeBob Squarepants and Patrick Star paper model. These paper models are provided by Nickelodeon.nl (Dutch) for free download at their site. It comes in a single PDF file with two pages, I've also provided another link thru rapidshare.de for those who can't read Dutch. I can't say much about them (except that their very popular with the kids) because I've never seen the show, so here's a link if you want to know more about them.

Wicked Wench Papercraft



Ahoy Mateys! With Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest showing in a few days, here is a paper model of one of the ships not used in the movie, the Wicked Wench. This paper model is a finely crafted beauty from its bow all the way to its dungbie, comes with 26 pages for the pattern and 16 pages for the instructions. It took me three and a half days to finish this, but I enjoyed it. We have Mr. Robert Nava to thank for this wonderful model and disneyexperience.com for hosting some of the great Disney paper models on the net. Now get to work ya land lubbers! o' me be showin you Davy Jones' Locker. Aaarh!

Cool Blue Penguin

Summer has officially started, and it's very hot and dry here in my neck of the woods(always is). So, let's all eat some ice cream before we start on this cool blue penguin paper model. We've been featuring Mr. Ryo Tokisato's cute paper models for the past few weeks and if you like them (i know you do) kindly send him some email to thank him for his hard work.

No-Face 2

Here's the update to the No-Face paper model, it's about 2x bigger and I've cleaned up the lines on its face for a more cleaner look. What do you guys think? what else should be changed or added?

No-Face

It's been pretty quite in paperkraft land for the past couple weeks, not because I've run out of paper models to do, but I've been doing my very own paper model. I won't go into details that much but let me tell you about the software I used, I bought Newtek Lightwave 8.5 as my 3D modeler and Tamasoft's Pepakura Designer to convert the 3D object to a paper model. I've chosen No-Face (Spirited Away) as my first model because it was the most requested via email and also I think it's pretty easy???
As you can see from the pics below that the final model is a bit small and still has that blocky effect all over his face and body, I'm still in the process of refining those features and making him about 2 or 3 times bigger. Also, I have not finished the instructions for assembling him (for novices), but most of you shouldn't have any problems with this one, I've pretty much aligned up the parts to be connected. This paper model is about 3 1/2" x 1 1/2" when completed.
So, I hope you like it and keep updated for the "smoother" version coming soon.

Sperm Whale

The sperm whale is the largest breed of toothed whale, it is distinctively characterized by its large head and can be one-third of its body. It also has a small lower jaw with conical teeth which fit into sockets on its upper jaw, a white mouth with a bright red tongue. They where named after their sought after "spermaceti oil" produced by their spermaceti organ located on its head. One look at the sperm whale and you might recognized it as the beast immortalized by Herman Melville in Moby Dick. This paper model was designed by Ryo Tokisato (Japan).

Here's another cute paper model from Ryo Tokisato, a cute little green dragon. It's pretty easy to build and a good activity for the young and young-at-heart to do this Memorial Day weekend if your staying indoors. It's a single PDF file with both the pattern and instructions in it. Have fun!
