The Inevitable, Adorable GTA IV Papercraft

Oh, hi tubbypaws! You guys remember tubbypaws, right? She's a whiz with the ol' papercraft, able to turn even the most adult and depressing of titles into bright and wonderful dioramas. This is her latest work, and yes, it's GTA IV, complete with cute little paper Niko, cute little paper buildings and cute little train whizzing by on cute little paper tracks. Should bring a much-needed pinch of levity to GTA IV's murder n' drugs-heavy stew.

Portal Turret Papercraft

Confession: I've never actually assembled one of the papercraft printouts—I did glue together about half a robot once before becoming violently ill with laziness—but I'm almost considering taking a go at these Portal turrets.

Confession 2: By "considering" making these turrets, I really mean "lightly toying with the idea."

Confession 3: By "lightly toying with the idea," I really mean there's no way in hell this is happening. I don't even have paper, glue or anything. Right now I'm typing on a pile of rocks fashioned into a QWERTY arrangement. I have no clue if you want even read this.

Papercraft: Dragon Quest Mimic

It's been a while since our last papercraft and given the slow post GDC weekend I figured it would be a good time to pull out some cardstock and get our craft on. This week's offering comes from that bastion of papercraftery, Paperkraft.net. The model is of a Mimic chest from Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. These feisty little guys like to disguise themselves as treasure chests and when you go to open them, they launch their attack. This is a fairly simple model for those of you just getting started in the fine art papercraft. For our more experienced crafters, you might try these Chromehound models.

GTA Papercraft

Ah, Tubbypaws. Few are able to delight us so with naught but a few pieces of coloured paper and some folding instructions. You've seen her Silent Hill and Portal papercrafts, now see her Vice City tribute, complete with little square Tommy Vercetti and three cars that he'll never be able to steal thanks to his poor, fat little head. Unless you make alterations on the design, that is, which you can find below.

The Mario Birthday Party You Wish You Had

I was impressed and a wee bit jealous last year when I posted about four year old George's Mario themed birthday party but these photos from Ethan's Mario/Video Game themed party have left me longing for the days when I could have a cool themed birthday party without people looking askance. An awesomely decorated cupcake table (above), Mario and Luigi papercraft favors, homemade Boo and Kirby pinatas, Mario and Luigi hats, a Yoshi Egg Hunt and a tastefully and detailed decorated back yard. If only cool stuff like that had been available when we were kids we might have been spared the horrors of party clowns.

The Cutest Silent Hill Papercraft

From Tubbypaws who brought you such memorable paper models as The Cutest Portal Papercraft, comes the Cutest Silent Hill Papercraft. It features Officer Cybil Bennet about to have a run in with one Silent Hill's ubiquitous nurses. The artist describes it as:

A blocky 3D paper fun model tribute to the foggy fog game, the second one, the one with the pillow.

I love this model (especially the flashlight light on the floor...genius touch) and will be putting it together for my desk, but if Tubbypaws would create a little blocky Pyramid Head add-on (sold separately), this would be about the greatest papercraft ever made.

Papercraft: Master Chief


It's been a while since I posted a good papercraft and this one definitely deserves the spotlight. Artist (and presumably Halo fan) Mike McDermott created and put together this really amazing Master Chief papercraft model using PePaKuRa, a program that creates paper model patterns from 3D model information.
He stands an impressive 13" tall and is made up of 42 pieces. Not a model for the faint of heart! You can download instructions and patterns on Mike's DeviantArt page. Now you'll have something to do until the game comes out. (Note: This is not part of the Halo 3 hype machine but merely a really excellent papercraft) More »

Papercraft: Optimus Prime

In honor of the Transformers movie opening next week and the deluge of Transformers games out this week, I present to you the Optimus Prime papercraft model by Paper Robot. Optimus is looking fine in his olde school duds and the best part? He's poseable and actually transforms with the help of some rubber bands! Be warned, this model is complicated and NOT for beginners. Seasoned papercrafters only on this one. And kids, don't forget to have you parents help you cut out the pieces! Flynn De Marco More »

Large Nintendo Papercraft Site

Did everyone have fun making their Toro papercraft the other day? Well, get your scissors and your glue sticks ready because one mondo-big site full of Nintendo paperdolls is coming your way. There are 21 characters in total ranging from Pikmin to Pikachus, sprinkled with a couple of Mario friend favorites like Bowser and Toadstool. If you can't choose which one to make first, you can also download them all in one convenient package and go nuts this weekend. More fun than most things you can do with paper and it's free. Let's get printing! Kim Phu More »

Papercraft: The Other Link Model

I've pointed to a Link papercraft model before, but it was unfortunately less than stellar and now no longer exists. This version however is pretty sweet. This is the original Chokipeta model of Wind Waker Link and can be downloaded in PDF form and can be downloaded via RapidShare from the link below. For once, I'm actually going to get off my duff and try putting this guy together. I will see how my very un-nimble fingers do on this one and post the end product next weekend regardless of how terrible or great it may be. So tune in next week for the final results!

Papercraft: Cerberus

The incredible Chamoo232 does it again with this stunning papercraft version of Cerberus from Kingdom Hearts (originally from Disney's Hercules). Chamoo232 gives this model a 5/5 difficulty rating and warns that this is definitely NOT for beginners. I wish I couls make some sort of big paper trophy for Chamoo232 as the papercrafts put out are always stellar. The work put into these is substantial and deserve your support. So, if you are a paper craft lover, please go to Chamoo232's website and help support this great artist. And yes, by "support" I mean give money. Flynn De Marco More »

Papercraft: Cloud's Shoulder Armor Lion

Today's papercraft is a bit esoteric, but still kind of cool nonetheless and it's simple to put together! Today's offering is the lion head found on Cloud's shoulder armor in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children by papercraft guru Chamoo232. all the pieces reside on on sheet of paper and should be easy enough for even beginner papercrafters to take on. If it doesn't work for you on a Final Fantasy level, you can always use it as a decorative doorknocker on your paper mansion. More »

Papercraft: Phoenix Wright

Paperkraft.net points us to Court-Records.net where they have posted this great Phoenix Wright papercraft model. Also available are models of Mia Fey and everyone's favorite frilly collar wearing attorney, Edgeworth. All three models look fairly easy to put together with the possible exception of Phoenix's trademark spiky do. Just be careful you don't lop off a few spikes while your cutting him out. I particularly like the "Objection!" word balloon that accompanies it. Nice touch! Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of the Court-Records page to find the models. Flynn De Marco More »

Snake Bust. In Paper.

Take a look at this Metal Gear Solid marvel complete with sideburns and bandana. Snake looks royal, almost king-like even. The individual that constructed this beauty also made some other stunners that include a train and Okayama prefecture. So rad. You heard it here: Papercrafts are the new game cakes.
