This is another model that you chose my little boy of 14 that are available on a page of Carmageddon papercrafts, with respective links to download.
This is the direct link to download the Abba Cab:
Both the game’s website are for anyone 18 years, the role models are beautiful. While most are simple, so much that my son picked as the Big Dump (A3), need instructions for assembling them.
For this reason I am not 100% that should unite parts where they were assembled.
These are some pictures where I show the assembly process:
These are some pictures where you can see the finished model including a couple of buddies as passengers:
This is the direct link to download the PDF template:
In the following pictures you can see the steps to be joining parts of the model.
This is the finished model:
This model can be used as finger puppets. In the website of origin, there are other models as bamby in the same style.
Hope you like it, and my son likes.
One minute of silence
With my deepest respect, I make public my sorrow for all the people who perished in the disaster happened on the island of Japan.
My deepest condolences to all families of the victims. I hope your hearts be filled with peace and resignation, and will soon overcome this sad event.

Now it’s time is a classic character, this is Super Mario, in the version used in the Nintendo Wii game consoles.I first began to document with pictures I found on Google. Since I have extensive experience in 3D design from Metasequoia, I chose a symmetrical and there is also another view of the drawing, which in this case was a side view.These are the pictures chosen and although the image from the side view is not 100% fit with the image of the front view, is a good reference to achieve the approximate volume.
The following images are renders made from Metasequoia, which shows the dimensions achieved in 3D based on 2D views and different views on the design of the finished model.
The following video shows some details of the design in 3D from Metasequoia.
With 3D design, made in Metasequoia, load it in Pepakura to unfold the design and to design templates, ordering all parties and grouped by color.
The following file is the template group in both color and black and white:
Original file format is PDO, can be downloaded from the following link: Smario01B.pdo(zip file).
Following video shows how the pieces fit together, from different parts of the model of Super Mario in Pepakura software.
Now is time to bring the colored paper to print the template group and then cut, foldand glue and create the papercraft design model of Super Mario.
In my country (Guatemala), these papercraft models are known as piñatas. In this case, was produced to celebrate the second birthday of my daughter.
Is made with a wire frame that provides rigidity to the model.
Other pictures…
The wire frame is made of galvanized wire size 16 (1.63mm)
The following video shows how it formed the wire frame …
To achieve the ratio of 150 cm model, I used the 29 cm model reference. each section was measured and multiplied by a factor to determine which is the measure proportional to the 150 cm tall.
section scale = section measured x 150 / 29
In the case of the angles between each leg Metasequoia export the model to Autocad DXF file, to view and print various views of the model and be able to appreciate more accurately the different angles.
The following PDF file contains different views of the model, they also can be used to scale measurements.
With the completed wire frame, it’s time to cover every segment of the surface withsheets of paper, but first we must develop glue made from flour, as shown in thefollowing video. For this case will be that of a measure of flour for five measures of water …
The volume of base paper is made to cover the entire surface, as shown in the following video …
A little help …
Some pictures …
Well, it’s time to decorate the outside of the model. In the video below shows the different parts that were decorated with colored paper:
Ok, it’s party time, all children and some adults to break the piñata, to go all the sweets that are inside …
Bye piñata..
Well, some points to improve …
The wire used in large parts must be of the highest caliber, to prevent the model is deformed when the paper dries and retract.
The paper should not carry much glue so it does not expand much and thus did not retract as it dries.
The support of the model must be stronger, to prevent bursting when the piñata is in motion. The support used was 3 wires, so I think it is better than double to tolerate higher tensile forces.
