free papercraft torii gate and guardian lions

These guardian lions are placed on either sides of an entrance or torii (gate) to prevent harmful spirits from entering. In the Netherlands, you often see them at Chinese restaurants, so you can enjoy your meal without any harmful spiritual influences. 👹👺👿 🚫 🦁🚪🦁 🍲🍴 😊

Updated (well, archived) link for Konica Minolta's free papercraft pop-up dollhouse book

I was made aware that the link to Konica Minolta's neat papercraft pop-up dollhouse didn't work anymore, which is a real shame because it is a lot of people seem to like it. 🏡🙂

Luckily, I found that you can still download the files to make it from an archived version of the website, though! 😀

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The download links didn't seem to work anymore at first, I found a way that still worked for me:

• DON'T RIGHT-CLICK the PDF links to save the files directly...!
• Instead, left-click to open the PDF files in your browser and when they are loaded, then save/download them.

New Advance Wars papercraft unit start: Yellow Comet Anti-Air (wip 1)

Again, I find myself actually doing two new papercraft projects at the same time... 😆

One of them is a secret again, the other one is a new unit for my ever-expanding papercraft Advance Wars army!

I like making these because I make them by hand by directly shaping pieces of paper (basically by trial and error 😉) until I get something that looks like the sprites from the games. Then when I'm happy with it, I carefully take them apart again to trace the parts so I can scan them for a real test version and later also color them.

I'm finding that making a little paper soldier guy in a sitting position is pretty tricky, even if I did already make the Infantry and Mech versions. But all in all it's going pretty well, so stay tuned!

free supercute papercraft doggies by Kamiuchu

If you've been papercrafting for "a while" 😉 I'm sure you remember the "Howl's Moving Castle Flying Type" papercraft that was once available as a free promotion from the Epson Print website.

During the one and a half months of the 2004 summer vacation that it was available, it was downloaded 340,000 times!

Well, that papercraft was made by Kamiuchu: link

(Kamiuchu is so proud of it that they still use it as their Facebook profile picture 🙂)

Unfortunately, that promotion ended a LONG time ago (you might still be able to find it on other websites though...) and Kamiuchu usually only makes commercial papercrafts like that for companies to use in promotional campaigns. These simple and supercute papercraft corgi, toy poodle and French bulldog doggies in the picture at the top of this post are totally free and easy to download from their own website though! 🐕🐶

free papercraft INFINITI Carigami luxury cars

Infiniti is the luxury vehicle division of Nissan; so you can understand that these cars are usually VERY expensive - but not these papercraft versions, because they are completely free to download and make yourself! 🚘🙂

It started as a way to help people having something to do while they had to stay home, and people liked it so much that they made five different papercraft Carigami cars now: a QX55, FX35, QX80 and a regular and 'Honey Badger' edition of the Q50S!

If you enjoyed building one, you can share it on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram and if you use the hashtag #Carigami and tag the Infinity company in your post, they might show it on their website! 🙂
