An up-and-coming mangaka / dojinshi author named Nagisa who belongs to the eins circle sent us this wonderful paper model. It's a super deformed nekomimi papercraft or SD Catgirl papercraft named Tsukina and is the main character in the second volume of his work. The catgirl papercraft is wearing a school girl outfit and wielding a giant hammer / mallet as her weapon. There's also a papercraft pattern for the brown box that you see on the picture. The name of the dojin manga is 魔法少女のツクリカタ #02 and roughly translates to "Magical Girls TSUKURIKATA # 02".
