More and more and more papercrafts

A while back I put up some photos of paper crafts Isaac had printed from websites and assembled. (You can see the previous posts here and here.)

Since then Isaac has found several more pattern sites, and he can usually be found with scissors and gel glue, assembling yet more models.  He takes them to school to work on in his spare time, and has gotten many of his friends interested in building paper models as well.  We had to give him a ration for his color printing, and, like most crafters, he always has many WIPS (works in progress) and UFOs (un-finished objects.)  We finally managed to get some photos taken of his latest projects.  This is a very photo-heavy post (my apologies if it crashes your internet connection.)  Also, the links for the various websites he’s used will be found before each set of photos.

These patterns were found at Paperboxworld.  They have lots of cute animals and vehicles and are simple enough for younger kids to assemble with a little help:

This turkey was designed by Ike at Papercritters.com.  This website gives you tools to design your own little boxy critter or person, and you can even upload a photo to use for a surface.  This is another easy and fun one for young kids.

The following three pictures are of models found at the Canon printer website.  If that link doesn’t work, just do a search for the Canon website, click on “papercrafts” and you’ll find an abundance of truly amazing models.

The following three photos are of designs from Cubeecraft.com.  These ones are designed with slots and tabs so they don’t require any glue.

All of the remaining models are from NintendoPapercraft.com.  This website features multiple papercraft designers.  In some cases they will “rip” models from N64 or Gamecube games, using a ROM 3DCG software and a program which will flatten the 3DCG data into a papercraft.  (That last sentence was  a direct quote from Isaac.)  The site is updated pretty often.  That site also has a page of links to many more papercraft websites.  If you are a non-video-game-playing female and do not recognize the subjects of these models, chances are your spouse or boyfriend or brothers or children WILL.  The last two or three models are WIPs (works in progress,) but Isaac liked them enough that he wanted them photographed, anyway.

(Author’s note:  If you’re wondering how I found the time to post all these photos and write this up for Isaac, I would invite you to take a peek at my drastically disordered kitchen and house, and at the lack of dinner on our table — except, really, I’d rather you not look.  Just enjoy the pretty paper models.  Anyway, there’s no law against eating cold cereal for Sunday supper.)
