Corbis Readymech Camera Papercraft



Is Bill Gates into papercrafts? I'd like to think so. Although I don't have concrete proof, I did find a far off connection. It has to do with Corbis, a digital imaging/stock photography company founded by Bill Gates in 1989 and is located in Mr. Gates' stronghold (Seattle, Washington). Corbis has come up with these wondeful Readymech Camera papercrafts (pin hole) designed exclusively with their images and illustrations. Follow the link below to download the free patterns and instructions.

Warhawk Papercraft - Chernovan & Eucadian Jeep 4x4



The official Warhawk web site disappeared for a while, came back with a new look minus the papercrafts. Then a few weeks after that, they put back the paper models, but this time one of the Eucadian Warhawk papercraft was missing, it was the ultra-realistic version. I don't know the reason for that, but what I do know is that the Warhawk Chernovan and Eucadian Jeep Papercraft is now available for you to download. These papercrafts were designed by Nobutaka Mukouyama for Sony Computer Entertainment America.
