Monster Papercraft - Kappa



Mythology is one of my favorite subjects to read, ever since I was a kid I've been interested in the mythological creatures for the various cultures of the world. So when our reader toppopo sent in this Kappa monster papercraft, I definitely had to post it.



But first, a little info. on it - the Kappa is based on Japanese folklore and is considered to be a type of water deity. Other names that it goes by are Gataro and Kawako. They are mainly depicted as a very small turtle like creature with a beak mouth. Kappa's are also known to be tricksters and likes to eat cucumbers (besides humans). Eventhough they have a macabre thing going on, talented artist Christopher Bonnette over at Macula.tv has made a more cute and friendly looking version. Head over to the link below for the pattern, you can also check some of the other stuff on Chris' site including the Squealer Paper Toy series, a Tiki Box, and a Chibi Yeti. When you get to the site, head on the the download section and from there you'll find the papercafts.

Chaos Field Papercraft



Has anybody played the game Chaos Field? it was an arcade game shoot 'em up released in Japan by Milestone Inc. back in 2005 and was ported to the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2. It also reached US shores as a port to the Nintendo GameCube. I actually never heard of it before until now, I checked around and I saw that Gamespot scored it a 6.2(fair) while their users scored it a much better 7.2



There's three Chaos Field papercrafts (spaceships) available, there's Mixed Blue, Flawed Red, and Fake Yellow. Eventhough the game faired well with the critics, I can't say the same for their papercraft. The patterns are rough and very unrefined, too many cross tabs and too many lines. It looks rushed, like a spur-of-the-moment thing, it looks chaotic. They should have hired Chokipeta or Ninjatoes to do it for them. Thanks to the chaos people for sending it in, although I don't think they would like what I just said about it. Grab it below.

Mabinogi Anime Papercraft - Samurai



The Mabinogi Guild has just released the newest addition to their paper model section, my translator is a bit wonky today so we'll just call this one a Samurai papercraft. Many have been asking me for a password to their site, but I don't know it. It seems that after we and some of the other paper model sites posted their Lady Archer papercraft they closed their doors, maybe they don't want the traffic. This one was sent in by one of our anon readers who "claim" to be in the guild, he/she didn't give much info., only a link to the pattern and some photos. Here you go.

Fun Papercraft Toys - Cubeecraft



Papercraft designer Chris Beaumont sent us an e-mail to inform us of his three-dimensional six sided creations over at his site, Cubeecraft. I see that Chris is a very busy designer, Cubeecraft's paper factory is promising to come up with a new model every week. So far, they've managed to produce eleven paper model characters including but not limited to sci-fi (Stormtrooper), Anime (Evangelion), video games (Portal), film (Rocketeer), and music (NiN).



I had a small talk with Chris thru e-mail and I found out that we have featured some of his works in our site before. Do you guys remember a post we did whose pattern looks like the ones on the photo(top). If you were thinking green then you're definitely right, it was the Ninja Turtles papercraft + Sonic and Knucles. Let's check them out.

Team Fortress 2 Papercraft - Sentry



On our previous Team Fortress papercraft post we featured the Engineer's Dispenser from the folks at Highwaychile and I mentioned something about "putting a couple of well-placed sentries around it", somebody did just that and designed a sentry papercraft to accompany our dispenser. The designer runs a site called Raven-Age and goes by the alias of "G". The pattern is available as a PDF document and there's also a PDO file provided (no colors). All we need now is the teleporter to complete this set. Check the photo below before you head to the download link.

Big thanks to Cotton Eyed Joe for sending in the links and info.

Anime Girl Papercraft - Kara No Kyoukai



A new paper designer that goes by the name of Claf has created this cute anime paper craft. I was going to post it earlier on but I didn't have any info. on it. So, one of our readers (joker@animeblog) has taken on the task of tracking this down and he came up with a movie called Kara no Kyoukai. Joker wasn't sure about it, so I checked out the site myself and I don't think its the same. But in any case, we'll stand with the Kara title until some of the anime or manga experts correct us.

Team Fortress 2 Papercraft - Engineer's Dispenser



When you need provisions, the Engineer's Dispenser is key. On the game, the dispenser slowly generates ammo and metal for your teammates and can also heal them, albeit much slower than a Medic. Put a couple of well-placed sentries around it and this could turn into an impenetrable wall. The Dispenser is a part of the Engineer's buildable structure, along with the Sentry gun and teleporter.

Design Your Own Easter Egg Paper Craft



Easter Eggs are quite popular with children due to their colorful and unique designs. Using paint, ribbons, glitter, felt tip pens, dye kits, etc. you can customized it's appearance base on your preference or liking. One particular design style caught my attention last night while I was searching for some easter egg paper craft, it's called the Pysanky or popularly known as Ukranian Easter Eggs. Unlike the traditional pastel colors here in the US, the Eukranian easter eggs have a distinct style, they are adorned with intricate symbolic designs and are brightly colored.



The designs on the Pysanky look complicated, how about we try an easier version with this paper craft courtesy of designer Steven Marshall. There's two paper models you can choose from and both of them comes with colored and blank patterns.

Gundam Papercraft - RX-75 Guntank



This Gundam papercraft is the RX-75 Mass Production Type Guntank. On the anime series, this unit was first developed by the Earth Federation under their top secret "Project V". As you can see, this unit can't fly and is nothing more than a fusion of a tank (bottom part) and a mobile suit for the upper torso. It requires two pilot to control it, one inside the head as the gunner and another inside the Core Fighter as the driver. Thanks goes out to the designer and reader Smiley for sending this in.
