Nintendo Papercraft Pokémon contest

Nintendo Papercraft just announced a new papercraft contest, this time you need to design and build your own Pokémon papercraft model to win one of the prizes!

This is Nintendo Papercraft's second contest again already, the first one (with a Banjo-Kazooie theme) was won by Navi's Banjo and Kazooie relaxing in a comfy chair model (I had a feeling it would ;o)

But this time you have a new chance to win! If you want to enter, you can read more about the rules and prizes at the Nintendo Papercraft weblog: A new contest: Pokémon!

Have fun!

Cut & Paste Sci-Fi working papercraft Rubik's Cube!

Cut & Paste Sci-Fi has several science fiction models to download and build, but it's worth taking a look in the non sci-fi section too: one of the paper models you can find there, is a working Rubik's Cube!

I'm sure everybody knows the world famous puzzle cube. You mix up the colours, and try to get them back together again by turning the blocks.

Many a mathematician has spent hours on end calculating the total number of different possibilities, and this is what they came up with: 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 (the word you're looking for is 43 "quintillion")

But that's not the impressive part. The impressive part is, that you can solve all of those, in 25 moves or less...

If you don't go mad building all the delicate little pieces out of paper and getting them to work properly, you *will* go mad trying out if there really are 43 quintillion different possibilities...

Have fu... Good luck building..!

Working on the main project again

Although of course I spent most of my weekend finishing the Orange Star Rocket unit and instructions, I did do *some* work on my main project.

Most of it were fixes though, things I already changed from the original 3D model but that I still wasn't happy with. But that's progress too. The best kind actually, I think. Even though it can sometimes feel like taking a step back, it's really just a slightly slower path allowing you to take your time more, still going forward. ;o)

Chamoo232's Bioshock's "Big Daddy"

Many papercrafters have been waiting anxiously for the release of this Bioshock "Big Daddy" model from Chamoo232.

It already looked wonderful in the WIP pictures, so not surprisingly everybody wanted to have it "nao!!" but it took Chamoo232 a while to get it ready for release.

Which would be "nao", btw:

Advance Wars Orange Star Rocket unit

Here's step 6 regarding "how to build a paper rocket launcher". I think it's pretty self-explanatory.
