It always amazes me how the designers of card model ships are able to achieve so much detail in their models. This 1:100 scale paper model of a Polish coastal ferry is one such example. Roman Detyna of digitalnavy.com designed this model to commemorate the tenth anniversary of his website. Detyna chose to create this particular ship because of a fond memory he had of sailing on such a ship as a young boy. The template for the ship may be downloaded here.
Like Batman's, The Hangman's career as a costumed crime fighter was motivated by revenge. But he carried his "grim avenger" role much farther — not just in his motif, far more terrifying to a criminal than a mere bat, but also in his methods. One reason The Hangman struck fear into the hearts of his foes was the gallows and noose he often projected in shadow form to herald his arrival. Another was his propensity for killing them whenever that struck him as appropriate-wiki Golden Age Hangman Papercraft
The manta ray is the world's largest species of ray. Larger manta rays can reach sizes of up to 8m across. Their bodies are colored black to grayish blue on the back and white on the belly, and they glide gracefully through the sea, propelling themselves by moving their large pectoral fins up and down. They inhabit tropical and subtropical oceans around the world, feeding on plankton as they swim close to the surface. They have a docile, curious temperament, making them popular with scuba divers-Canon Manta ray Papercraft
This is the helmet used by the members of the Hazard Team from the video game Star Trek: Voyager , a group tasked with protecting Voyager as repairs are made, and investigating the cause of their entrapment. Star Trek Voyager: Hazard Team Helmet Papercraft
I finally finished another papercraft model from the Star Trek Voyager Elite Force video game. This is the helmet that the members of Voyager's Hazard Team wear when they are sent on missions into hostile environments. In the video game the playable character wears this helmet on a mission in space and also on a mission to the engineering wing of Voyager during a radiation leak. This model is large enough to be worn. The opaque pieces of the visor may be used as a pattern to cut a visor out of transparent material. That way you might actually be able to see where you are going when the helmet is on. ^^ Details of the template are:
Scale: 1:1 estimated Finished Size: 13.4"(34 cm) x 12.2"(31 cm) x 15.7"(40 cm) Number of sheets: 15 Number of parts: 25 Difficulty: 2/5 Download(includes a PDO plus lined, unlined and untextured PDF's)
In mathematics a torus is defined as a geometric shape created by revolving a circle in three dimensional space about an axis coplanar with the circle. Some examples of objects with torus-like shapes are doughnuts and inner tubes. Torus shapes can be deformed into "knots", that is closed, intertwined geometric forms with no beginning or end. This colorful papercraft torus knot is the work of Matthias Baas of Germany. The knot's template is interesting in that it is designed to be printed double sided so that the printed fold lines all occur on the inside of the model. The PDF template for the knot is located here.

Every once in a while I feel the need to post some origami. :) This Star Wars A-wing starfighter was folded by Jens-Helge Dahmen and is a modification of a folding pattern originally created by origami artist Adam Black. All that is required to build the A-wing is a 20x20 cm square of paper that has color on one side only. Gift wrap paper might work nicely. Dahmen's folding pattern for the A-wing is available for download here (look for the link near the bottom of the page).
