You didn't really think there were no more free papercraft fire trucks and ambulances on websites of Japanese cities after the ones I already showed, did you? 🚒🚑🙂

Yaizu City in Japan is famous for their commercial fishing industry, so there are a lot of references to fish 🐟 and the harbor 🌊 all over the city, including on the sides of buses - and in this papercraft of those buses. 😉

Even though especially Turok's bow was challenging in the test build, I didn't change a lot of things in the final version: I even already finished my final build now, so this last week of my vacation I should be able to make the instructions and pictures and a simple video to release it! 🙂
You know how the same word can have different meanings?
In politics, a diet has nothing to do with nutrition, but it's "an assembly of lawmakers." 😀
In Japan, the National Diet is composed of the Lower House of Representatives and the Upper House of Councillors and they meet in the National Diet(Parliament)Building in Tokyo!

It would be a real shame to try to want to go to Bradwolff Projects to visit one of their exhibitions, get to the address but then don't know at which building you're supposed to be. 😒
Luckily you can easily find the building by comparing it to the papercraft that Buro Kees made for them! 🙂

I simplified some parts for Turok before I did the test build, but as you can I kept his bow for example as close as I could to the actual game model, so it actually has quite a lot of tricky parts! 🏹
The Montréal Canadiens NHL sports team 🏒🍁 shared this papercraft Youppi for Mother's Day in 2018. I happen to know, though, that mothers like getting a handmade gift like paper Youppi even when it's not Mother's Day! 😉

Prologo set out on an ambitious goal, to create the lightest and most aerodynamic bike saddle!
In fact, their Flying F15H, weighs a mere 5 grams! 😲
What's more, their design using a cutting edge material never before used in a bike saddle design allows you to 2D print the design yourself for free from their website!
(as a bicyclist myself though I'm quite sceptical and I'm not sure I'd trust the ultra flat and lightweight design don't for fear of the results being... uncomfortable)

In 2022, the Kingfisher was named the official town bird for Toda City in Japan's Saitama Prefecture, and a lot of people shared all kinds of personal crafts to celebrate kingfisher birds.

Just like me, Ben has lot of fond memories of LEGO minifigures!
So as you can see, he made a whole bunch of the papercraft versions that he downloaded from my papercraft webpage! 😀
Have a look at the Hall of Fame on my website for more pictures from Ben's papercraft LEGO minifigure collection and lots more examples of paper models built by papercrafters from all over the world:
YumaYumacraft makes papercrafts as promotions for companies, and some you can buy on their website.
One of the papercrafts you can buy is a starter kit for a penguin restaurant, where a high school girl penguin follows her dream to transform a disused motorcycle garage into a restaurant with the help of her family. 🐧
Luckily, you can help as well, by downloading and building the extra tools like a cooking pot and frying pan, and fire wood (and a fire extinguisher! 🧯) that they need for the restaurant for free from the YumaYuma craft website. 😀

A few years back, I showed you the kamini-ss website that besides showcasing their commercial promotional papercraft works, had several papercrafts that you could download for free, like several papercraft tanks.
kamino-ss made many more promotional items since then, and I actually thought they added a new Type-10 tank to their free downloads, but when looking better, it looks like the download on their website is only for the undercarriage/tank treads and display stand(the papercraft tank itself was included in an appendix for the J GROUND EX No.13 magazine from August 2021 I think).
The movable Instructor Yoshika from the Moeyo! Tank School manga (in a cute Safe For Work version luckily 😊) that you can also in the pictures though, IS availailable as a free download on the kamino-ss website too! 😀
