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.

I've always liked the little scale models of machinery and weaponry from games, but my crafting prowess is confined to embroidery and quilting. Perhaps if any Kotakuites make the effort to put this one together, you can let us know how it turns out.

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

The full version of the template is right here. All you need is a little glue to attach the legs, and voila, you have a little kitty that doesn't shed or ignore you (depending on which way you point him). Kim Phu

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!

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

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.

Random papercraft tip: Always use a ruler and an Xacto knife to score your paper before folding it. Just don't cut too deep! Flynn De Marco

Poke-mania hit a peak a couple weeks ago with the release of Diamond and Pearl. There was a huge party at the Nintendo World Store and the game has already sold a ridiculous amount of copies. So, in honor of Pokemon's stellar success, I present to you this Meowth balloon papercraft.

Word of warning for all you papercraft noobs: This is one of the more difficult papercrafts that I have posted in a while so be sure to get some practice on some of the easier ones before you tackle this bad boy. Flynn De Marco

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

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. Brian Ashcraft

This is one of the more humorous and clever video game related papercrafts I've seen. Solid Snake sneaking around in a box is always hilarious, but it's even funnier in paper form! This is a pretty simple piece to put together and if you are thinking of starting a career as a papercraft model expert, this might be a good place to start. The model comes on two pages and consists of four individual parts and includes instructions. It doesn't get much easier than this one folks! Flynn De Marco

If you've tired of dying Easter Eggs but still feeling the urge to be crafty, I've got a great papercraft for you. Today's offering is Sophitia from the Soul Edge/Soul Calibur series. This is a fan made papercraft by rokunoya and Sophitia's look here is very anime style. My only gripe is that the scoring lines are on the outside and there is no non score line version available, but then again, that's why we have Photoshop. Still, lines or no lines, this is a stellar model. Enjoy! Flynn De Marco

From Chamoo232, the creator of last week's awesome Pyramid Head paper model, comes another terrific piece in the form of ViVi from Final Fantasy IX. The model comes on three separate pages and Chamoo232 estimates it will take about seven or eight hours to complete. ViVi stands six inches tall and is incredibly detailed for a paper model. Chamoo232 is quite adept at making these and I look forward to seeing more from her. Flynn De Marco

Note: Chamoo hosts her patterns on Rapidshare which can be difficult to download from at times. Be patient and you should be able to get it eventually.

Ever since I brought the video game papercraft feature back from the grave, I've been getting a lot of links from readers to some terrific pieces. This one is really amazing as not only is it well done and home made, but it's Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2. PYRAMID HEAD! I'm a huge fan of the Silent Hill series and this is one of the papercrafts I've highlighted that I might actually be able to make some time to put together. Kudos go out to Chamoo232 (aka Anne Marie) for creating this awesome piece! Flynn De Marco

More papercraft goodness for your weekend craftyness! I've got a terrific one for you today although unlike last weeks Nintendo Zapper, this one is a mite more complicated. I wish there was a larger picture of it all put together, but unfortunately, this was all I could find.

A little tip to the papercraft newbs out there: Always print your papercraft on cardstock. Its much easier to fold and holds it's shape better. It also is less likely to turn into a crumpled wad when an overenthusiastic friend grabs it and screams "Oh my god, that's the most awesome Link statue ever...oops!" Flynn De Marco

I was pretty impressed by the Wolf Link papercraft, but then Kotakuite Jane sent me a link to this one that really knocked me over. This is Bahamut, and for those of you who are not Final Fantasy literate, he is a summon creature who has made an appearance in almost every Final Fantasy game (Ok, so I didn't know it either, I had to look it up).

The model file doesn't come with any instructions and you have to have the Asian/European language pack installed on your Acrobat Reader to open it. I downloaded it and it seemed pretty easy to figure out and not too difficult to put together. Ron over at Paperkraft.net has posted a Flickr gallery with a bunch of pics of this bad boy that you can sort of use as a guide. The Moogle model he's got with it here is really great too. (Moogle not included.)

If anybody out there has the gumption to put this thing together, definitely send us some snapshots, the ones on the Flickr Gallery are a little dark. I'm always on the lookout for these guys, so if you happen to run across any particularly good papercraft models that you'd like to see posted here, drop me an email with a link at flynn@kotaku.com.

If you can put a papercraft this intricate together, your OCD's probably so bad your leisure time is spent scrubbing the floors in your apartment until your fingers bleed. But we still salute you. Frankly, we're all just floored by the gaming populace's reserve of geeky, obsessive talent. If only you guys hadn't been playing your Gameboy in Biology class, we might have a cure for cancer by now. Gaming really is ruining the world. Florian Eckhardt

I'm rather speechless by this origami battle featuring every single unit in Starcraft.The results are very impressive, but how does anyone who wasn't raised in Feudal Japan as a mute, legless castrati have so much time to spend delicately folding pieces of gaily colored paper? Florian Eckhardt

Seeing these pictures of a papercraft Wii next to a papercraft PS3 is the final nail in the coffin: I'm not buying a PS3. I know I've said that before, but there were certain factors that could have changed my mind. Winning the lottery was one; Sony releasing an interactive Fleshlight peripheral was another.

But jeezum crowe, would you just look at that thing? It's bigger than a lunar buggy. The only way I can even imagine fitting that into my living room is by jettisoning my couch. So unless Sony releases an upholstered model that I can actually sit on, I'm going to have to pass. Not because of any prejudice against Sony... goodness, no! Obviously, they've made all the right moves this generation. It's purely an issue of Feng Shui.

The Wii, on the other hand? Fruity name aside... DAY ONE. Florian Eckhardt

Over the weekend, womanizer and bridge player Mike "Michael" McWhertor posted this amazing Sonic papercraft. It was so neat that we wondered if Sega hadn't really yet ran the tired, blue hedgehog into the ground. It gave us hope. And so does reader Tim's completed version. Tim writes:

This was my first time ever working on papercraft and it took me 6 hours to finish. I spent extra time on the base by reinforcing everything with cardboard. I know its not perfect but its pretty darn good for my first time papercraft.

Darn good indeed. Quit your day job Tim, you've found your calling. Using a camera flash on the other hand, well... Brian Ashcraft

So, warm up your employers color printer and get to slacking with this weekend's project of projects, recreating the first level of the first Sonic The Hedgehog in paper and glue form. I guarantee you'll be regretting this on your deathbed should you choose not to partake in some papercrafting.

Sending us pics of your completed level is definitely encouraged. Michael McWhertor

All that gaming papercraft we've been posting lately is pretty swell, but wouldn't you just rather have a blockish homunculus of Master Chief, freshly sprung from the fertile womb of MS Paint into glorious tri-dimensionality? Now you can — just go over to Bungie.net, download the graphics and start taping it all together. - Florian Eckhardt

Man, I wish I didn t suck so much at papercraft. Some of this stuff is just amazing. Jesse over at I m a Human Inbox just sent me links to some amazing Advance Wars papercraft models. The best part is that you could use the finished product to create your own table top game.
