Papercraft Vintage Computers - Commodore 64!

Like Erik Schubach, I too grew up in the early days of video gaming. I certainly look back on those days with rose colored glasses as if I fire up a game in mame that I spent a million hours obsessing over when I was 10, it looks and plays like absolute crap. I'm just being honest here! But... there's still some magic there that makes you feel all happy and warm inside.

Erik obviously loves some of these old machines with a passion as he has gone ahead and done the world a great service by recreating them in paper craft form. Big ups to you Erik!

Here they are...

Commodore SX-64 Executive

Milton Bradley Microvision

Tattooed Elephant Paper Model

I like tattoos, elephants and papercraft so it should be no surprise to anyone that i'm featuring a tattooed papercraft elephant on here. This is a simple structural model but what makes it a keeper is the intricate artwork that has been lovingly created. Grab it here.

Virgin Mary Papercraft

This could be a first for Papercraft World; a religious paper model. This happy fellow makes some other pretty cool stuff - he's been featured on this blog before with  a model of a roast chicken! So his collection is um.. eclectic? You can grab the paper model of the blessed virgin mary here. Check the homepage for other goodies.

Macross Robotech Papercraft

I'm slowly working through all the anime I didnt watch as a kid and Robotech is currently being watched at my place. There are some pretty nice Robotech papercrafts out there in the wild. The one pictured above can be found here

And this transformed mech can be found here (there's a bunch more links on that page too)

And last but not least a SDF 1 Storm Attacker Mode which is absolutely amazing? Grab this here

Have you seen a macross paper model I've missed here? Let me know in the comments.

Papercraft food + Foosball table and other neat crafty things

If you are an avid reader of this site, you will have noticed that I really like ordinary things made out of paper. Yeah robots, gundams, video game characters, guns and so on are all great, but there is something really cool about making everyday stuff from paper. This site is a great example. We've got a kitchen set with scales, a toaster and a cup etc.. Then a camping set with a tent and a bbq. A picnic set, a bunch of biscuits, a pretty sweet car thing (my son would love that) and holy crap a working foosball table made entirely out of paper. Very nice!

Grab them all here, just look for the pdf icon links and enjoy.

Japan is just a click away!

Batman Papercraft + Superhero Arts and Crafts!

Batman has alway been a favorite superhero of mine, while growing up I always had my foot firmly planted in the Marvel comics camp, The Avengers, Spider-man etc... But my secret shame among my fellow Marvel aficionados was the odd Batman comic, that and the camp sixties TV Show played constantly when I was a  kid. Anyways Paperollies has a pretty awesome Batman papercraft for you in his amazing series of SuperPaperMen which you can grab here.

If Superman is more your cup of tea then you can grab him here. Check the homepage too for some other great paper model goodies
