I've got a new one for you guys, it's a green stegosaurus papercraft model from Chokipeta, it's not very polished like their newer models - this ones still cube-like, definitely an earlier work like the bird and car that was posted not long ago. Very easy and simple, this shouldn't be a problem for anybody at any level.

I loved Guido from Cars...so adorable and cute. I got this papercraft from this japanese site http://hal8999.web.fc2.com/guido/guido.html (yes I give proper credits this time). Im not sure who is the original creator/designer because the site is in Japanese. The site also has photos of other papercrafts he/she made.

The instructions for the papercraft are not really specific, especially with the forklift 'hands' but when you see the pictures you'll get the idea. This papercraft is not too hard to make. I would rate its difficulty as 2 on a scale of 1 to 5.

(p/s: in that last pic, the bottom part of guido looks weird because my printer had problems printing the whole piece so I had to colour it in. SOrry

Edit : Someone commented that there is a whole set of Cars character papercrafts made by Rick Webdude. You can get it over at his website http://paperian.com/webdude/bl.htm and its very detailed. Its in Pepakura PDO format.

Optimus Prime is the leader of the Autobots, a faction of heroic robots from the planet Cybertron who wage their battles to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons, for control of their homeworld, and by extension, peace in the universe. The immensely kind and compassionate Prime puts all his talent to use to improve the world around him, and has dedicated himself to the protection of all life, particularly the inhabitants of Earth; he will battle his foes with unyielding resolve to uphold this belief. In power and intelligence, Optimus Prime has no equal, known as one of the greatest heroes on both Cybertron and Earth. which is obvious to all but the moronic decepticons The original Optimus Prime transforms into a cab over flat-nose truck.

Hello everybody, my name is Sam, I'm the not-so-new member of Paperkraft.net - I work as an illustrator mainly for children's books and I'm based in the New York city. I've been a follower of this blog since it's inception and have been posting comments on the sideline, I officially joined last February but I was in the process of moving to New York from Aachen, Germany, where I used to work. I have to admit that at first, papercraft wasn't really my thing, I was more into automata, and through this site, I have grown to loved papercraft and paper automata ever since. As you've noticed, the other members of the team are mostly working on papercraft models and origami, I will be posting only on paper automatas and some papercraft related news. Finally, I would like to thank Ron for giving me this opportunity and for the advices he shared with me with regards to posting (colored folders for backgrounds, photo size/watermarks, lighting, info. on the model, etc...) and hopefully earn the readers acceptance.



To kick things off, here is a paper automata from Canon (Japan), created by renowned paper engineer, Keisuke Saka - it is based on the Copernican System, also known as heliocentrism. Copernican, being from Nicolaus Copernicus (1473 - 1543), a Polish astronomer and mathematician who theorized that the Sun was the center of the universe/solar system. This model is 7" on it's widest part and about 6" tall, comes in PDF format.

So far we've posted the Four Swords and Wind Waker Link, a Meowth Balloon, a cat, a bird, and now another easy build from Chokipeta, a papercraft car. Most of you have requested the blue and red robot from the now defunct Graffiti Lab(choki built as well), I remember having that one saved on my paper model collection, so I'll rummage through some old back up discs over the Memorial Day weekend (travellers drive safely) and hopefully post it by next week.

Went outside the balcony for some fresh air when I noticed this bright blue bird just hanging around on one of the trees. I grabbed my camera and started taking pictures, it was kind enough to stay still for a while and do some poses before scooting out. Palm cockatoo papercraft model by Chokipeta - I believe this is one of his earlier works, dated 2002. Easy enough for beginners and for the kiddos. Have Fun!

Here is a set of Chinese inspired/made papercrafts, featuring different heavenly deities and soldiers. They are made by Answer Ideas Studio, their paper models are intricately designed and require no glue for assembly - they've put tabs on strategic locations to hold the papercraft together. There's over 30 models on their site that you might want to check out, but I'll be (削除) sharing (削除ここまで)showing only one today, and the rest, on the following weeks to come. Wasn't sure if the designer intended for the models head to shake a bit or I did a poor assembly, either way I've got me a bobble head papercraft. Special thanks goes out to The Rube for finding this treasure trove.

Cartoon Network/Toonami import Zatch Bell! is a very popular manga series from Japan where it is known as Konjiki no Gash Bell! which is publish Shogakukan's Shonen Sunday and turned into an anime TV series by Toei Animation. The plot goes like this, every millenium (that's 1,000 years for those who care) one hundred demons known as "mamodo" go to Earth to battle to be the king of the mamodo world. Each mamodo acquires a human partner in order to use their spell books for battling other mamodos, these spell books have spells th onat only the human partner can read. When their spell book is burned, they have to return to the mamodo world, and the last mamodo standing with their spell book intact and unburnt is the new king of the mamodos. Kiyomaro Takamine is the main character and his mamodo is Gash/Zatch Bell. Our papercraft model for today is Ponygon (Umagon in JP) it's a very friendly mamodo that looks like a miniature horse and uses armor based spells. It's real name is "Schneider", but since nobody can understand it's language, Kiyo named him Ponygon. That's about the only thing I could remember about him so feel free to correct me on this one.
