Metro Trains Melbourne Dumb Ways to Die campaign Tubecraft papercraft toys!


"Tubecrafts" are simple tubular papercraft toys made by Ardiawan Bagus H, many of which are based on the Metro Trains Melbourne "Dumb Ways to Die" campaign: link

So far, Ardiawan made tubecrafts of the first 10 Dumb Ways to Die:
  1. Setting fire to your hair
  2. Poke a stick at a grizzly bear
  3. Eating medicine that's out of date
  4. Use your private parts as piranha bait
  5. Getting toast out with a fork
  6. Do your own electical work
  7. Teach yourself how to fly
  8. Eat a two-week old unrefrigerated pie
  9. Invite a psycho killer inside
  10. Scratch your drug dealer's brand new ride
But there are many more Dumb Ways to Die, and although the video and song are made to be funny, the lesson is very serious of course, namely that another dumb way to die, is to not be careful around trains and train platforms...!

    1. Ardiawan, the person that made them, says he would love to make more "tubecrafts", but he doesn't really have a lot of time right now because he's in college.

      So if you like them, keep checking his website http://tubecrafts.wordpress.com/ from time to time, and when he has some time again, I'm sure he will make some new ones! ;o)

    1. :o( Unfortunately, it looks like the creator made their site 'private' a long time ago so that nobody can visit it anymore. You can visit an archived version of the site, for example:
      https://web.archive.org/web/20130624023719/http://tubecrafts.wordpress.com/

      but unfortunately It looks like the downloads just don'twork anymore... :o( I don't know if anybody put the papercrafts on another website when they were available and if you can find the papercrafts on another website if you search for the creator's name (Ardiawan Bagus), but other than that'Im afraid I can't help you, sorry.... :o(
