Sandbox Tiger

You can download the model here.

I am on a roll! Two models in two days! (don't get used to it though XD)
Once more, this model isn't testbuild by me, because I just do not have the time anymore to testbuild all the models I 'craft' lately.
Does it still count as crafting a model if it is only digital and not actually build? :P

Anyway, the model is a sandbox tiger from World of Warcraft. This model has been sitting on my desk for 3 years now, and now that I can digitally work with stuff during my work hours...I just found it time to actually finish this model!

I have to warn you all though, the spring...is a pain in the ass. I haven't even build it and I can tell you that much.
It isn't as clean as I would normally make my models, but I just couldn't get the spring any different than it is now. So sorry in advance for the pain that will cause you.

As always: Enjoy the build and if there are questions or photos about finished models, let me know!
But now also in addition, if you want a specific model done...leave me a note and I can see what I can do!

Lil' Deathwing

The file can be downloaded here!


So yeah, it has been a while, I know that ^^; The main reason for that is quite simple...I got myself a new job and it has been taking up a LOT of my time! And in whatever free time I had...I've been working with leather to make stuff like this!

But...I haven't forgotten papercraft, not in one bit! And I made my 'come-back' a cute one too!

My new model is a 'life-sized' Lil' Deathwing. Okay, it isn't quite lifesided since if I were REALLY to make it as big as it were in game, I would have to make it 120 cm wide from wing to wing...and I couldn't fit properly through doors then and there is also the fact that it would be hell to carry properly!

So...the model as it is right now is 60 cm wide (wing to wing) and 26 cm high (feet to head). It consists of 17 pages of paper. Not much considering some of my other works, but meh...

I like making such pet models though, so you can expect way more! I think I'll do Frosty up next or so ^^
As always: Enjoy the build and if there are questions or photos about finished models, let me know!

Happy Halloween!

The file can be downloaded here!

I wanted to make a model for halloween and well...here it is! But due to the fact that I've been unbelievably busy, I haven't been able to testbuild it ^^;  But well...Halloween is coming up close and I wanted to share it before it was too late...so here it is anyway!

The model will be 20cm high and give or take the same in width. You can leave the bottom open and place a _FAKE_  candle in it to give it still that hollowed out pumpkin look. (remember...paper is flammable :P No real candles should go near it!)

Also: I know this model is the one you can use on your head in WoW, but since I do not have enough time for such a model (since I DO want to testbuild larger models before posting them) a smaller one it has become. I might upgrade it into a larger one someday, but until then...enjoy this small one!

If you find any problems in (hey, as said...no testbuild) please let me know and I'll fix them asap~!

And a new addition to this site can be seen on the right. A photoslideshow from other people building the models I post here. Please guys and girls, send me those finished photos ^^ I love to see them and be able to add them here!

Also, as always: Enjoy the build and if there are questions or photos about finished models, let me know!

The head of Deathwing

Achievement unlocked! STOOD IN THE FIRE!

Yeah or not ^^; It wouldn't be all that easy to do to make this dragon breath out any fire. And it is not something I am planning on doing either. Nor would I like frying people with this lovely baby~!

The model is 46 cm wide (from horn to horn) and 57 cm long (from the jaw till the neck). I was planning on making it wearable but since I made a small miscalculation (I didn't think the mouth would run into the back that far) I decided to build LED's into it and also make the jaw movable. Check the short movie below to see it working~! (do not worry about sound...my voice is completely gone so I wasn't able to talk about the model in this movie anyway XD)

I gave myself a deadline for Abunai! 2011 to finish this one. (this is an anime/game convention in the Netherlands) and people were so damn amazingly enthusiastic about this papercraft. I honestly NEVER in my WILDEST DREAMS imagined having such an awesome response to this.

The reason I gave myself that deadline, was because I am holding papercraft workshops in that convention. Now mostly it is cubee crafting, but since we have only 2 hours during the workshops there isn't that much time to make a bigger papercraft. Nonetheless...the workshops went great, it was really a full house and it was awesome to see people responding to it that way.

Below are some photos that people took of me with the Deathwing papercraft as well as a few impression photos about the workshops that I found. All these photos are made by others, so the credit goes out to the respectful owners of the photo! (also a small warning...I am not good at being photographed XD So sorry if I look funny at times)

As always: Enjoy the build and if there are questions or photos about finished models, let me know!

Uldum Urn

The file can be downloaded here.

So, it has been quite a while since my last update, but well... I am pretty sure you all know how you got real life, work, a carcrash which causes more work to pay for a new car and WoW Cataclysm coming out that messes up with all your papercraft time...Just regular daily stuff XD

But about the model itself...well lets say you can expect some more Uldum stuff to come online here. I am absolutely in love with Uldum. The Egyptian style and all that makes me want to spend as much time there as possible and that naturally reflects into my papercraft.
I saw this urn on the modelviewer and I just had to make it. The model itself is quite easy to build, I made it so that it goes around in horizontal bands. The only tricky part are the snakeheads, which are the reason why this model comes out to 20 cm once build. This way you can work on the heads without too much of a problem

The model has an hollow point worked into it. This makes it quite suitable as a container for something. I used mine as a make-shift vase, but with fake flowers into it...paper doesn't hold water all that well XD Of course you could put some kind of plastic bag into it for the water, but meh this does the trick just as well!

Enjoy the build!

Paper Zeppelin Toy

The file can be downloaded here.

This is the Paper Zeppelin Toy from World of Warcraft. Not the actual zeppelin or those spaceboats in Icecrown (Duh, those look differently) but just another toy you can buy in the game itself. I just love how it looks and I wanted to have a small project in between while I work on my ACTUAL next project...just see this as project 2.2 or so XD

Now for the model itself. While it is a quite simple model, you will have to figure out how to glue stuff together yourself because the .pdo file is NOT displaying the right glue-connections. I have no idea how to fix it, but I do know what causes it...namely the double sided stuff like the ropes and the basket. I put some tips on how certain stuff should be done in the .pdo itself so it should be self-explanatory. On how to glue everything together check out the preview .pdo file. If there are still any questions left, just lemme know ;)
Also, there are some OPTIONAL parts included. Namely the stuff on how I glued the propellors onto the zeppelin. I created these parts in Lightwave because I wanted the propellors to actually be able to move about when the wind blows (or when you blow at it). The parts MAY not fit precisely since they are custom made, but I put in a photo on how the end-result looks with the propellors as an example.

All this aside...I wish you all a fun building time ^^

WoW Bear

Another update, another model ;)

You can download the model here.

As my second model I did have something else in mind then this bear, but with some computer problems and me being sick for over a week I didn't have the puff to do it. So...here is a bear! I haven't seen it online anywhere yet so I thought I would make it. I do like the bears from World of Warcraft and I am aiming to get the spirit one for my hunter character. (Along with the spirit wolf, the Kurken and some others...) Hence why I build this one and not another color!

There are 10 textures included in the rar, including the spirit bear one. This one ISN'T originally going on this bear model though, so there are a few minor things that won't work out quite nicely (like the bottom of the paws and the bear butt not being see-through) but I edited the texture a bit to make it look sorta like the ingame version. No manes though, I think that is the only part about the model I do not like...so I made it without the mane XD

Have fun building this one and comments are always welcome ;)

Dragonstalker Helmet

And here it is ^^ My very first papercraft model up for displays for others to see, download and make! The first model I decided to 'craft' for starters is the Dragonstalker Helmet from World of Warcraft. LIFESIZED! Oh how I love lifesized helmet and weapons, expect to see those more here ;)

(and yeah, the one wearing the helmet is me XD)

You can find the files here

The model itself is a pretty easy and straight forward build and you can easily see how it is done on the .pdo. Aside from that...there is another .pdo that has extra 'mohawk' parts. You can also print it all from the .pdf so that it has all the parts already in there.
Included in the file are also 3 texture models. So you can 'pimp' your helmet up if you want ;)

The right eye looks weird compaired to the left one, but somehow I couldn't change this the way I wanted to change it. There are also weird triangle shapes still left in the .pdo that used to be for the glow in the eyes. I know I could have removed these with some 3d program, but at the time I started building this...I had no clue XD (Only learned that just before actually posting this).

There are most likely a lot of stuff  I could have done differently, better or shouldn't have done at all. If you come across any of such things, be sure to let me know so I know how to change them for the next one!

Enjoy the build!
