Castle Crashers Papercraft

My friends on Xbox Live have been bugging me to play this game, but I'm too lazy/broke to force myself to buy some Microsoft points to purchase this. Apart from the fact that everyone is raving about how fun this game is, the little knights also make some excellent paper models. I swear I was staring at the Castle Crashers banner and thinking that those little buggers would be perfect for card modelling.

Paper Hellboy Samaritan

I had no idea the Japanese dig Hellboy, but anyway, this Japanese dude has made a paper replica for the Samaritan.





Very detailed as you can see, even loadable with papercraft bullets lol. A well designed model, no doubt coming from the Japanese. Personally, I would give it some puttying and a paint job to get get rid of those irritating white lines that come with all paper models. But hey, one of the upsides of paper models is that you get to print the designs on. Most kids just print, some adults do paint so it all depends on how far you want to take it.

My Starkiller Sculpt Part I

Have you heard? Star Wars: The Force Unleashed got released today. Gaming critics hate it, but everyone else thinks it kicks ass, me included. However, I'm not getting it just of yet because I completed the demo freakin 20 over times and now Im officially bored of toying with Storm Troopers and flinging them into deep space.

So... I've been sculpting Darth Vader's Secret apprentice aka Star Killer for some time, on and off... here's the progress so far:



This baby's 1/6th scale and gonna be 12" tall. I hardly work in any other scales now... Think the chin needs some elongation, but I swear it looks better in real life. Might be the camera angle.

If you have any comments, do leave them.

Storm Trooper heads make good designer papercraft

Wow, this has got to be the sweetest designer papercraft project I've seen! Some Jap guy had the brilliantest idea of taking a storm trooper helmet and transforming it into a skinnable toy. The result = a cool library of Storm Trooper helmet skins that'll look extremely cool on any Star Wars fans' desk.

What makes this project even more awesome is that, the template isn't based off polygons that are unrefined and untweaked. Instead, you'll notice that it's actually pretty well designed, making use of the curves of paper to achieve the contouring of the helmet, rather than polygons.

Awesomeness. Download awesomeness here

Retro Gaming Stuff in paper

From Paper 2.0 comes these nifty little gadgetry from your distant childhood memories - old school Gameboy modules and stuff from the very first 3D FPS ever built - Wolfenstein 3D.



I thought these were pretty cool (heck, everything retrogaming looks cool these days), even though they're pretty simple to build.





Nice huh.

Sideshow King Leonidas from 300

Wooooo~ This looks freakin sweet, trashes the NECA action figurine that can't even balance itself on my desk.









I can't decide if the second row of abs look normal, or abnormal. They look a teeny weeny bit over split, like Leonidas has some sort of abdominal wall hernia. Also, the nips and umbilicus make a sad face lol. If you stare at it for too long, the abs really start to grow on you.



The pose also looks a tad effeminate, like Leonidas is having some sort of mega wedgie, but overall, this is still a great statue to have if you're a 300 fan like me.

South Park + Darth Vader =

PARK VADER! - heavy breathing -

It's been a while since we've heard from Claudio website, but he always does good stuff. And lately, he's been doing all these awesome South Park renditions of pop culture icons, and this time round it's Darth Vader South park style - PARK VADER!







Freakin cute. Claudio does excellent models, even if they are simple ones like this, so his work comes straight to my blog on the best paper models there are.
