The return of the Sev Trek Enterforaprize papercraft model

Sev Trek original Enterforaprize paper model

Although the Sev Wide Web isn't really maintained anymore, its owner John Cook has an archived version of it on his new website with many of the webcomics that he made over the years: Sev Archive

In case the spaceship made from a beercan, pizza and pair of cigarettes didn't tip you off already: the Sev Wide Web is a very funny parody on many famous science fiction and fantasy movies and series, like Sev Trek (Star Trek), Sev Wars (Star Wars), Dr. Whatshisname (Dr. Who), Hairy Plopper (Harry Plotter) and many more, and also several original cartoon series like Terrible Twos and The Pits. ;o)

At one point, they even made a 41 minutes animated movie, Sev Trek: Pus in Boots (link; not to be confused with that Shrek spin-off, Puss in Boots ;o)


So, what does all that have to with papercraft?

Well, years ago, Erwin de Jong from the Cut & Paste Sci-Fi (now PaperFormed) website made two papercraft models of the Sevships from the Star Trek Sev Trek parody!

Captain Jet-Lag Pinchard's Enterforaprize-D from Sev Trek The X Generation (transl.: Captain Jean-Luc Picard's Enterprise-D from Star Trek The Next Generation) used to be available for $9,00 from the Sev Shop: link

papercraft Enterforaprize-D, available from the Sev Shop for $9,00
As you can see, the original, captain Gym Testosterone Quirk's Enterforaprize (James Tiberius Kirk's Enterprise) is a bit les detailed than the Enterforaprize-D in the picture above, and it used to be available as a free download gift from the Sev Wide Web.

But as John updated the site over the years, it kinda got lost in the process...

Although I did manage to find it again on an archived version of the Sev Wide Web, I felt it deserved a more permanent place on the web, so I managed to contact John and Erwin.

Although John doesn't update the Sev Wide Web anymore, he didn't mind Erwin uploading it to his own Cut & Paste Sci-Fi site (and now PaperFormed) and they even gave me permission to host the original Enterforaprize as a featured model on my weblog!

(although I hope Erwin's new PaperFormed site site will stay online for many more years to come,
because he has a lot more great science-fiction models! ;o)

Have fun building!

Young Lara papercraft vignette WIP11


As you can see, I finished the second test build of the young Lara papercraft vignette!

So far so good, although as always there are some small things that I will change on the final model, but that's what the test build is for. ;o)

I made a simple "rope" by rolling up a strip of paper and then bending it into shape and it works pretty well (being made out of paper too, young Lara is not very heavy ;o) but you could also use a piece of electrical wire or any other thin, metal wire of course.

Stay tuned!

Papercraft black-and-white Citroën 2CVs


There have been many variations on the classic Citroën 2CV chassis, including delivery van versions ("fourgonnettes").

Papercraft planes (and a train ;o)


If you'd like to have your own planes and trains (but can't afford them 😉), try these papercraft ones!

Laytoes' Challenges puzzle 002: Laundromat Layman


I made a "Professor Layton"- style puzzle before ("The Stackering Tiler") but I think this one will be much easier, because it's much clearer what kind of answer it should be. ;o)

For more hints + tips (and the papercraft model, although it's not really necessary in order to solve the puzzle ;o) go to the Laytoes' Challenges minisite:

Good luck and have fun!

papercraft Spanish medieval "Castell Montsoriu"


When most people think of medieval castles, they think of England, but of course castles can be found in almost every European country, like "Castell Montsoriu" near Barcelona in Spain! ;o)

Young Lara papercraft vignette WIP10


The torso will be the second part of the test build; the hands have the smallest parts, so it will be very important to score and fold / pre-shape them properly before assembling them.

Stay tuned!
