papercraft Advance Wars Black Bombs final builds WIP


I think the colored version turned out quite good! 😀

(and of course I also made the other colors too 😉)


Stay tuned!

free J.League mascots papercraft toys


The J.League is the name of the Japanese football competition, which like all major sports competitions was suspended in the first half of 2020 while people had to stay home. ⚽😟

With plans to resume the J.League soon, fans can make papercraft toys of the mascots for their favorite teams in anticipation of the restart! Right now you can download the paper toys of mascots for teams in the highest J1 League, but paper toys of the mascots of the teams in the lower J2 and J3 Leagues will be coming soon! 🙂

free papercraft Izumicho and Shirahige Nishi pump stations and Earth-kun mascot


I never understand why some people will giggle and become embarrassed if you talk about the sewer system and what happens at the facilities that are necessary to keep it working, like these Izumicho and Shirahige Nishi pump stations, just because they think it's a 'dirty' subject... 💩😅

It's actually very important to make sure people can live together in big cities without problems! In Japan, they are even proud to make sometimes very beautiful manhole covers for the sewers. And if you don't believe me, let Earth-kun explain it to you because he wears one on his head with a cherry blossom flower design! 🌸⚫

papercraft Advance Wars Black Bombs color WIP


Since the test build went pretty well, I went ahead and prepared the color versions; and because just like the Piperunners, Megatanks and Stealths, Black Bombs look the same for all five different armies in Advance Wars Dual Strike, I can re-use the same parts in different colors! 🚀😊

Ánd because some pieces like the bombs themselves and stabilizer fins, exhaust nozzles and so on are all the same too, I can copy+paste them to get enough of each when I make one in each color. 🙂

Stay tuned!

papercraft U.S.S. Defiant built by Tomek from Poland!


Even if it's been a while since I received pictures of one of my papercraft models built by somebody else, I hope a lot of people still enjoy them of course! (I do still see pictures sometimes on Twitter, Facebook, DeviantArt, or other social websites of course 😉)

This time though, Tomek from Poland sent several pictures of the papercraft U.S.S. Defiant that he made to me directly: I think it's Bill Perry's redraw version, and Tomek did some extra work like weathering the exhausts and off-setting some of the parts giving it some extra depth and detail, which gives it a personal touch and looks really nice! 🚀😀

Don't forget to check out the 'hall of fame' on my papercraft webpage for lots more pictures by Tomek and lots of other people:
