Space Battleship Yamato Papercraft



Popularly known in the west as Star Blazers, this Japanese sci-fi anime series has spawned two paper models courtesy of Bandaivisual Japan - they are the Cosmo Zero and Black Tiger papercrafts. These two models originally came with the Space Battleship Yamato papercraft kit back in 2001, but since this book is a rarity now, I guess they decided to give the two small space crafts for free.

Super NES Papercraft



We've had the Super Famicom posted before (released in Japan and Southeast Asia) and now we have this Super NES papercraft sent in by designer Ryo007. The Super NES is the successor to the very popular Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and is pretty much the same as the Super Famicom console internally, the only difference being its external look and regional locking.



And since were on Nintendo territory, the designer wants to point out that he also created a Zelda papercraft featuring the Triforce - three small triangles forming one big triangle.

Epson Papercraft - NSX 2008



The Epson Nakajima Racing has updated their papercraft web site to include their latest entry into the Super GT (formerly JGTC - Japan Grand Touring Car Championship). Team Epson has been using a modified Honda NSX since they started joining the grand touring car race series back in 2004. The Espon NSX touring car papercraft pictured above has their new paint job for 2008, you can also find the other paper models of the past cars that they've used from previous years - all of it is basically the same car, just a different paint job. There's also a set of papercrafts of the pit crew, complete with trailer, tools, machines, and a pit stand. And for the curious, Team Epson has never won the JGTC or Super GT.

Fantasy Papercraft - Terrestial Voyager



Based on the highly artistic work of fantasy artist and master illustrator Rodney Matthews (In Search Of Forever), here is the Terrestial Voyager papercraft from designer Andrew Gillespie. It's got an Asian theme going on and reminds me of the old Hong Kong junk boats, but bigger and on wheels. The design and layout of the pattern is very well made, I can tell that a serious amount of time went into planning this paper model. There are three files to download for this behemoth, instructions (41 pages), the pattern (54 pages), and reverse side(7 pages).

The Simpsons Papercraft House



Let's add another Simpsons papercraft to our collection, we had the Spider Pig paper model crawling in our ceilings a couple months ago and now the Simpsons papercraft house has landed in our doorsteps. It looks pretty accurate and easy to build, one thing that I've got to point out is that the color of the external walls is a bit off, D'oh, I don't remember it being the same as Homer's skin color - a little tweaking and it'll be fine. Anyways, this great cartoon landmark was designed by Andrew McCauley and is available at his geocities page. You can also check out two other building papercrafts currently available, includes the Washington monument and the World Trade Center.

Ghost In The Machine Paper Toy



It's only been a few days since we first featured them here on Paperkraft, but a new paper toy has emerged from Jack Hankins' Horrorwood site. It's called the "Ghost in the Machine" paper toy and has two separate items for you to build, the person - holding a coffee cup and the machine - with a ghost sticking out of its side. Not quite sure what kind of machine it is but it looks like some sort of cash register/PC hybrid. I also noticed a recurring theme on the paper toy, the hair-covering-the-eyes thing is the same one we saw on their previous paper toy, I'm assuming its the designer's trademark style.

Portal Papercraft - the cake is a lie!



Yes, this is the black forest cake that was promised as a reward on the Portal video game and no, you can't eat it. "The cake is a lie" is a phrase popularized by the Portal game and can be seen scribbled around on the backstage areas of the Aperture Science Laboratories. The cake was used by GLaDOS as a motivating perk for solving the intricate puzzles on the laboratory. This cake papercraft is from designer Mike McDermott, check it out.

HedKase Paper Toys - Grim Grinning Grunt



Nicebunny has a new paper toy on their HedKase Artist Series, the Grim Grinning Grunt paper toy is a fighting beast created by Dutch designer Matthijs C. Kamstra aka [mck]. The "Grunt" is a military slang referring to Marines or Army infantrymen. By looking at the design you can clearly see that the designer has the Army in mind and even put a rank of Sergent Major on the paper toy.
