free papercraft Tomb Raider 1 Midas Lara vignette release!


I'm playing the original PC CD-ROM version of Tomb Raider which really doesn't do Lara's transformation justice (the texture is just a solid beige color)... But for the papercrafty vignette I included both a colored version and a blank version to be printed on gold mirror cardstock so I hope you like it!

Have fun building!

free papercraft Superwomen in love! mechas by rahkmat


In the manga Superwomen in love!, the villain Honey Trap falls in love with the superhero of justice, Rapid Rabbit. And these two mechas figure in somehow too, at least if I understand the tweets by rrahkmat that made these papercrafts correctly. 😋

free Metro Kingdom Mario papercraft by Poethetortoise / Nintendo Craft


Unfortunately, a lot of wonderful old fanmade papercrafts got lost when sites like Nintendo Papercraft and a lot of other fanmade papercraft sites died out years ago, which is really a shame for people only (trying) to get into papercraft now... 😥

But I know that more people feel like this, and Poethetortoise for example decided to make a new  free Metro Kingdom Mario papercraft again after a 9 year hiatus! 🥳

free papercraft Tomb Raider 1 Midas Lara vignette WIP 3


My new papercraft Midas Lara vignette consists of a square box shape, King Midas' hand (or rather a statue hand of King Midas, so I don't really understand why it would possess the magic powers that the real Midas had??) and Lara having been foolish enough to climb on top of it.

I've made enough square boxes and paper Laras by now to know everything on them would unfold and fit nicely, so I really only needed to test build the hand; I did Lara just to see what the textured version would look like.

And it looks okay, at least it shows that it's not normal Lara. But I do think the gold mirror cardstock version makes it much more clear that she's been turned to gold! (well duh)

The hand slopes a bit, so it was a bit tricky to keep the two Lara's from falling over, but paper is pretty forgiving, so by gently bending the legs I got them in a position so they can stand deadstill on Midas' hand... 💀

I'll put both versions on the template so you can choose which one you want to make if you want to try the vignette once I release it*; although like I said before, for the gold version will be a lot easier if you have access to a laser printer: link. 😊

* Stay tuned!

free papercraft Tomb Raider 1 Midas Lara vignette WIP 2


I only ever played the PC-CD ROM versions of the classic Tomb Raider games (I-V) so I only really ever saw the solid texture for Lara's ehm, 'transformation'... in the Palace Midas level. It isn't perfect on the PlayStation version either, but I think it does look much better! 😀


For the papercraft, I'll include a textured version that everybody can simply print in colour, even though it won't look like 'real' shiny gold either of course.

But if you saw this video of mine recently, I'm sure you know where I'm going with this. 😊

Stay tuned!

What a difference a laser printer makes; when printing on mirror cardstock for papercraft! :o)


I always use an inkjet printer to print my papercrafts and it really works great!

...except when I want to print on mirror cardstock: the ink just doesn't doesnt bond with the imporous surface of the 'metallic' layer.

It's okay for a few small parts if you're careful not to smear the lines, but for a whole papercraft model, it would be very difficult to work that way...

So I bought a black-and-white laser printer, and I have to say: it works fantastic! 😀 So if you sometimes have to print on mirror cardstock or similar cardstock like this,  I highly recommend using a laser printer. :o)

If you don't have one, maybe you can try asking a friend that has one, or ask at work/school if you can make a quick personal print. Or you can go to a printshop of course, where they usual have laser printers too.

  • Make sure the  laser printer can handle the thicker cardstock though (I used the Joy! Crafts Gold Mirror cardstock which has a paperwight of 230 gsm)
  • And if you 're having trouble to get the printer to 'grab' the cardstock, I also had that issue a couple of times because the printer's sensors wouldn't recognize there was any cardstock loaded; I guess they got confused because of the reflective surface, because I solved it by putting some matte/non-reflective tape on the starting edge of the cardstock that the sensors could see.
Now what papercraft should I make using my new laser printer...?
