Mr. Gruff Papercraft

"Atheism, as a philosophical view, is the position that either affirms the nonexistence of gods or rejects theism. When defined more broadly, atheism is the absence of belief in deities, alternatively called nontheism. Although atheists are commonly assumed to be irreligious, some religions, such as Buddhism, have been characterized as atheistic."

From the Christian? site objectiveministries.org comes this simple papercraft model aptly named Mr. Gruff the Atheist Goat, designed by Mr. Kutsushima of the Happy Origami Ministry in Japan. This model is very much the same design and format as the Jesus papercraft that we've posted before. The head and arms still move, but now, this one is holding a mug - you can also check out some other models on their site like Ruby the Lioness, Lambuel, and many more.

Police Spinner Papercraft

A spinner is the generic term for a flying car in Blade Runner that can drive as a ground car, take off vertically, hover and cruise using jet propulsion. The movie featuring Harrison Ford came out in 1982, the year I was born so I never got the chance to see it. Maybe some of you did.

The link to the model is at the bottom of the page. It contains 9 pages of parts.

Frog Papercraft

Nothing much going on today, just waiting for winter to come, this Texas heat is unbearable. Here's one for you, a realistic looking frog from our friend Keiji Kawaguchi at Raspera.com, pretty much every papercraft model in their site has good form, very easy to build, and looks realistic - none of that blocky effect that you hate so much. Raspera requires membership, which will set you about 30 bones, I think it's worth it for all those models. There's also some samples to give you a taste of his work - a chameleon, a golden retriever, and a booby. Have Fun!

Dead Man's Chest Paper Model

Disney Experience offers some of the best looking paper models on the web. The chest papercraft above definitely caught my attention. This model is beautifully detailed and is about 9.25" high, 16" wide and 8.75" deep. It is pretty big that you can put things inside. You'll need lots of paper and ink on this one though. You can get the model here. You can also download or purchase more models from the link below.

Felis Catus Papercraft

Here's a new one for the feline lovers out there, it's a cute papercraft cat from epark.co.jp - is currently being hosted at Yahoo Kids Japan along with other easy papercraft models. They have different kinds of animals, vehicles, and buildings that will surely keep your kids busy this summer. To the cat lovers, I think this post should balance out the dog vs. cat thing that you've been e-mailing me.

To those who've requested the Gock/Magock chokipeta papercraft, I'm still looking for it, I know I've saved it before and I've also made a print/scan copy of it for my archives. I did all those while I was still living in Cali and hopefully it wasn't lost when I moved here to H-town.

Also, I'd like to thank our Korean friend, Snake, for the Wind Waker Link papercraft he sent in, and if you could please send the password to the Tetra file, Hangul is really not my forte :)

The Uphill Roller

Today we'll be having a papercraft automata model of a mechanical paradox that was first presented in 1694 through a published recreational volume called "Pleasure With Profit". You may know it by familiar names such as, the Uphill Roller or Double Cone Incline. In it we have a set of shapes which is comprised of a cylinder, a double cone, and an inclined plane. First we tested the cylinder, and it rolled down the incline, just as gravity would dictate. But when we put the double cone on the bottom of the incline, it seems to defy the rule of gravity and it actually rolls up. This kind of thing might look magical to the untrained, but for those of you who where present in class when this was taught or discussed, then you already know the simple explanation to it.

Ok, I'll try to explain it as easy as can be, this apparent paradox is explained by demonstrating the property of the center of gravity of bodies, which tends naturally to move downward. Since the rails diverge, the center of gravity of the double cone, placed on the axis of rotation at the maximum diameter of the device, does not rise when the entire body seems to move up; on the contrary, the center of gravity descends. For a more detailed and better explanation, with video and trigonometry equations - check this page. And here's the papercraft automata version, from our good friend at paperpino.net

Locomotive Papercraft

"...Not very long ago, in the top left-hand corner of Wales, there was a railway. It wasn't a very long railway or a very important railway, but it was called The Merioneth and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company Limited, and it was all there was.And in a shed, in a siding at the end of the railway, lives the Locomotive of the Merioneth and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company Limited, which was a long name for a little engine so his friends just called him Ivor..."

So began, in 1959, the first episode of the first series of a set of television films which were to become part of the mainstream of Children's television for the next thirty years.

The model is very simple and everyone can build it. Just click and save the two sheets of parts and you're ready to roll.

Rhino Head Papercraft

Rhinos have been driven to near extinction – the world rhino population has fallen by more than 90 percent in the past 30 years. Whereas 30 species of rhino once roamed the planet, only five remain today, and all of them are endangered. In Africa, only the black rhinoceros and white rhinoceros still exist.

What’s the cause of the rhino’s precipitous decline? Not the habitat loss or food supply disruption that affects so many African animals. Rather, it is man’s relentless pursuit of the animal’s unique horn that poses the single most dangerous threat to rhinos today.

To help educate others, you can go to the African Wildlife Foundation web site for more information on how to help protect and preserve these majestic beasts.

Today we have a rhino head papercraft model from one of our favorite paper engineers, Chan See Lik Paul, who designed this model for 3dpapermodel.com.tw - we've previously posted on his other works such as this Easter Egg and Easter Bunny for Epson Hong Kong.

I have featured Soviet and American real space models before. It's time for some Chinese models this time. The papercraft above is the Changzheng (Long March) 2F rocket, the longest and heaviest among all Chinese launch rockets wherein you have to print 5 pages of parts. The second is the Shenzhou (Divine Vessel) which is pretty simple with only 2 pages of parts.

Stegosaurus Papercraft

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.
