I released my Halloween model quite early this year, so here's a reminder! ;o)
Happy Halloween!

Goobeetsa's 13 Toys of Halloween
Papercraft toy fans will not have missed Brian Gubicza's 13 Toys of Halloween this month!
Paper toys like the Mad Doctor, Vampires and Werewolves have slowly been taking over this Halloween. But what's that? You can see only twelve?
Well that's because the last one, is the Invisible Man! ;o) Go get them all from Goobeetsa's weblog: link
Zombie Freud is not one of Brian's original 13 Toys of Halloween, but his customization of Matt Hawkin's Paper Dude but I think you'll agree he fits right in! ;o)
You can get Zombie Freud here and if you still need a mask for Halloween, or want to build a paper toy version of Edgar Allan Poe or one of John Carpenter's cult movie icons like Captain Blake, Michael Myers, or Lo Pan, you can find the parts to do so on Brian's website here.
Happy Halloween and have fun haunting!

Young Lara papercraft vignette WIP4
The 3D model of the stand/hang is very simple and pretty much finished, so now I can really start on young Lara herself.
The most important part of course, is making sure all the pieces are connected properly. But instead of creating a completely hollow shell, sometimes it's better I think to create an extra, flat surface to connect two parts together.
Sometimes this also helps to make the final model stronger (working like reinforcement "ribs") but for young Lara, that's not really a problem, because she won't be so big.
The most important reason here, is that I feel it will make building the separate parts and glueing them together much easier and much more fun. ;o)
Stay tuned!

free papercraft Harry Potter, Ron and Hermione
This was the first release by Noturno Sukhoi of Harry Potter and his two friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasly! The download link at the bottom of thios post is from January 4th 2012 and this post is from 24 October 2011 tough...? Obviously, that means that I'm updating this some time after January 4th 2012 (december 24th 2025 to be exact, so have a Merry Christmas already everybody! 🎅)
You see, in 2011 I linked this free papercraft download to the Tektonten Papercraft blog, who in his turn linked to the 4Shared account of sukoisu47 (who I now understand is probably Noturno Sukhoi of course 😉) where you could download a "Potter's_Pack" without seeing on the templates that Noturno Sukoi made them and not Tektonten (who did always used to tell you in the Pepakura PDO file when he released a papercraft that he made himself back then already though, so if I really wanted to know whether he made these too himself and I would have had the time to find that out back then, then I could have known 😉).
You see, Tektonten Papercraft is a lot like this Ninjatoes blog by me, in that sometimes he also makes his own papercrafts (like this Lucius Malfoy wand, so it's not really that big of a wonder that I was mistaken about who made these Harry Potter characters around that time too, right? 😂) and that also brings you updates on fun new papercrafts whenever he can find them and that also sometimes helps other papercrafters out by providing archived links from the Internet Archive Wayback Machine if it's possible like I explained some time ago too, or also helped some creators out by re-uploading their old free (but long dead 💀) papercrafts on his own free file hosting space to avoid them against otherwise been just gone forever, like I was able to do in some cases too (after asking the creators themselves first and removing the re-uploads if they were ever to complain of course as he explains himself!), which for many papercrafters that found out about them too late would be very sad... 🙁
The old 4Shared link for the 2011 "Pottter's_Pack" still seems to work too by the way, but be sure to download the newest papercrafts from the live Noturno Sukhoi link, because they probably made some small fixes (and you can also just download Harry, Hermione and Ron separately if you want to - although they really are friends in the books too, and the actors really are friends in real life as well I think as far as I know? 😉)

Young Lara papercraft vignette WIP3
This is a quick view of the "stand" (I guess "hang" would be more appropiate...? ;o) that I imagined for young Lara; little dioramas like this are often called vignettes, and I think they look really nice! ;o)
I'm afraid I'm not being very faithful to the continuity here of the series, though, because the statue that young Lara from Tomb Raider 4 is swinging from, is actually one of the Vilcabamba statues from the original Tomb Raider 1 (and the spikes are from Tomb Raider 3 ;o)
But I thought it looked so nice (I really love the classic texture style of those games...!) that I hope you'll forgive me for that... ;o)
The size of the stand (hang?) will be determined by what size young Lara will be: I don't want Lara's parts to be *too* tiny of course, but even though I don't like making my models very big, I think the stand will turn out too big to fit on one page.
So that means it'll probably need to be cut in half.
Luckily, that's not really a problem with paper. ;o)
Stay tuned!
