Halo: Combat Evolved - papercraft Master Chief release!


So I'm working on wrapping up my Papercraft Minecraft Kit Giveaway, contacting the winners and making sure they get their prize; I'll try to keep you guys updated, I always think it's neat to see when the postal service delivers them on the other side of the planet. 🌍📫😋

But in other news: I also finally finished my papercraft Halo Master Chief! (you can download it for free from my papercraft webpage: link)

It took a while, because I was busy with a lot of other things too, but I really like how it turned it, and it fits my other papercraft 3D shooter icon characters
And remember I said I wanted to do something special for Master Chief's Helmet?

Well, I included a normal colored version that you can print just like all the other parts, but also a blank one, that you can use to print on gold mirror/metallic cardstock and to be honest, I think it looks super good!

I hope you like it too, have fun building!

The Papercraft Minecraft Kit Giveaway Winners!


You guys know I'm "a bit" weird, right...?

If you've been following my papercrafts updates on my blog here or on Twitter, then you know yesterday was the last day to enter my free Papercraft Minecraft Kit Giveaway!

There were 27 unique entries in the end, and I had to decide the winners in a fair and impartial way. I had only one choice of course: I *had* to get a bingo mill! 😋

Watch the draw of the winners here:


I hope that this way everybody will agree that there was no funny business deciding the winners! 😉

I made a list of all 27 unique entries using the Google entry Form, and I did 4 draws for each of the 4 kits; then I simply matched the results of the draw to the entries on the list:
  • Snow Biome kit 🧊: A-15
  • Hostile Mobs kit 🙅: B-  2
  • Animal Mobs kit 🐖: C-  4
  • Utility Pack kit 🪑:   D-10
Now I realize that won't mean much to you, but not everybody wants their name on the internet, so I'm keeping everybody's information private here.

I'll match up the numbers with the names on the entries list though, and  contact each of the winners by the email they left to asking for their shipping address. Then once I heard back from them, I'll get the packages ready and send the winners their prize as soon as I can! 😀

I'm sorry if you didn't win this time, but I hope you had fun at least for the chance.
For now, congratulations to the winners and I hope everybody had fun; keep papercrafting! 🎉
