Papercraft Castle Is More Gorgeous and Intricate Than Most Real Castles
This unbelievable papercraft project, by Japanese art student Wataru Itou, took over 4 years to create and features lights and a moving train. It's probably the most stunning papercraft sculpture we've ever seen. More » -

Papercraft Retro Game Consoles Will Adorn Your Cubicle With Geekery on the Cheap
If your co-workers don't already know about the soft morsel of love for late-70s gaming consoles deep in your heart, why not load up the company's color printer with some heavy-bond and fold up an Atari 2600 to stand proudly by your enterprise Dell (and your HAL 9000). These patterns by Marshall Alexander feature cool 3D pop-outs and nice old-school-appropriate graphics and typography. Better than the limited edition in-box Spawn action figures you have now, and cheaper (ie: free). [Foldskool Heroes via TOYSREVIL]

HAL 9000 Papercraft Will, At Some Point, Cut You
We know. He certainly looks cute and harmless. But sooner or later, the HAL 9000 (freely printable papercraft version) could get a small, unintentional dent in the side. "I'll just toss him in the shredder for another," you say out of earshot from the harmless little paper computer. Or so you thought... [Mr. Hal 9000 via Botropolis]

Hit Coworkers From Afar and Burn the Evidence With DIY Paper Rocket Kit
USB rocket launchers are expensive and overrated, in my opinion. I say give me Luddite papercraft rocket launchers or give me death. So you'll excuse me when I say I downloaded the template for this DIY paper rocket launcher [PDF] from German design site Paper Puzzle Parade and made a small army this morning. The site says if you do "good work" the rocket should reach heights of about 15 feet! I sense a Cold War with my USB-armed office brethren brewing. [Paper Puzzle Parade via MAKE]

T-Mobile Germany Mails Papercraft iPhone 3G Templates Instead of Actual Phones
Oh, the cruelty—German pre-order customers still waiting for their iPhone 3Gs to be delivered apparently received this sick little joke in the mail instead, obviously inspired by reader Matt's original papercraft iPhone he made to quell the anticipation for the first launch. My German is, well, I don't speak it, but Google does, and it seems as if the full flyer after the jump is labeled "As a small passtime/tinkering project" at the top. Just plain sick. More »

Rockport Paper House Is Most Ambitious Papercraft Ever
Back in 1922, a mechanical engineer began building his summer home in Rockport, Massachusetts, out of paper. Originally used just as insulation, Elis Stenman soon began to make furniture and decorations out of paper as well. What resulted was Rockport's Paper House, which is remarkably still standing after 80 years. Stenman's grandniece is now in charge of the house, which was turned into a museum in the 1930s. More »

Paper-craft Batmobile Recreates Tumbler From The Dark Knight
Despite wanting desperately to watch The Dark Knight, I still haven't gotten a chance to rush out to my nearest movie theater and bask myself in the two-or-so-hours of nerdgasmic delight I know is waiting for me. So as the stellar reviews pour in from the papers and from friends, I need to find creative ways to scratch that Batman itch. Like papercraft! Here's an amazing Batmobile Tumbler design created by paper model expert Claudio. With hundreds of individual pieces, I bet this thing will distract me until my man in shining (black rubber) armor whisks me off to the cinema. [Technabob] More »

Symantec Papercraft Bots: Must. Resist. Clever. Marketing.
The only thing better than a robot may be a papercraft robot, and computer security software company Symantec clearly totally realizes this. Because to better educate the public on various malware bots that can infect their systems, Symantec has released free thematic papercraft robots. And kudos to their marketing department—they aren't covered in logos for Norton Antivirus or something. Here's a picture of their identity theft bot. Hit the link to collect all two!

Do Your Own R2-D2 with Paper, Scissors and Glue
It may not be as amazing as one made out of aluminum, and you won't be able project video with it, but in a day where all news is going to be about you know what, maybe it's time to take a deep breath, turn on the ink jet printer, grab some scissors and glue and spend some quality time with your inner Force building your own R2-D2 paper robot (instead of a mini-Steve .) And it doesn't only look cool: this thing is articulated. More »

World's Smallest DS is Real Paper Mario
With dimensions of 1.4" x 0.75" x 0.25", the paper craft Nintendo DS is so small, it makes your manhood look like the Maxblaster. The art work was put together by Nintendo fanboy, SonicScape Jun, who has such a steady hand, he should have clearly been surgeon. The scaled replica may not work, but it does have a functioning hinged case and even a teeny-weeny game card, which can be inserted into the main unit. Jump for another picture of the miniature marvel. More »

Papercraft Halo Dropship Makes For a Cheap-Ass Holiday Gift
If you enjoyed creating the Master Chief papercraft figure, you can now spend your holiday downtime tackling another Halo related project —the D77 Pelican Dropship. Plus, if you are poor or stingy, you could always pass the finished project off to one of your gamer friends as a gift. After all, the gifts you make with your own two hands are the best right?

AK-47 Paper Gun Model Kit, for Terrorizing Paper Dolls
The AK-47 assault rifle is probably the most popular weapon in the world, so much so that it's been made into lamps by designer Philippe Starck, gold plated by Saddam Hussein, and there's even a Hello Kitty edition. Now you can build yourself a perfectly harmless replica of the beloved killing machine with this AK-47 Paper Gun Model Kit, available in the form of a $30 booklet complete with an instruction poster. Wonder what would happen if you tried to get one of these models through the TSA checkpoints at the airport? [Die Gestalten, via Like Cool]
