This elephant will bang two cymbals 🐘 together when you squeeze it; but he won't drive you crazy with the noise  - because it's just paper! (you might get horrified by his rather mouth, though, or is that just me...?)

Perfect Dark Joanna Dark papercraft WIP 1 : only the beginning


I had hoped to have finished Joanna Dark for my papercraft 3D shooter series in 2023 (since the Perfect Dark game is set in 2023) but thanks to some extremely busy months, as you can see I'm just starting on it with only a few days to go in 2023 (belated Merry Christmas by the way!)

I extracted her game model from the Nintendo 64 version using the same method as for Turok, but since making a papercraft takes me a lot longer than a few days, finishing it will just have to be one of my New Year resolutions for 2024 (along with all the other papercrafts on my ever growing to do-list!)

Stay tuned! 😀

free papercraft Italian ocean liners SS Duilio and SS Gulio Cesare by Retrocale



Maybe it's because it's the Christmas season, and maybe it's because they're sister ships, but this thisime Retrocale made two papercraft ships to share with other ship-loving papercrafters in one go! 🚢🎄😀

The SS Duilio was launched in 1916 already but only completed in 1923, after her sister ship the SS Gulio Cesare was already completed after been ordered in 1920!

Both ships served as ocean liners for the Italian shipping company Navigazione Generale Italiana but were chartered to the International Red Cross in World War II and ultimately sunk by Allied bombers (luckily after already been laid up).
