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 model is quite simple, ideal for children. Again my son decided to make another model, cutting, folding and gluing.

This is the Thumper Cutie

This is the website where you can download the template in PDF format:

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.

These are two models of dinosaurs that are obtained from http://paperboxworld.weebly.com/dinos.html page.

My son cut, fold and paste, with the minimum possible help (with six years old).

Plant must be careful with the scissors. We recommend using special scissors for children and all under supervision.

The first is as follows:

This is the finished model:

The second model is the following:

Ok, I managed to finish the model of Super Mario (30 cm tall). I took a little longer than expected, since no size so hard it was to build the hands.

The following photos show the final result.

The following videos show how to put together all the parts to complete the papercraft model.

The model I serve as the basis for a 150cm tall. I expected a lot of work.

The support legs to the hips, the effort did not tolerate for long time. The joints are very weak and broke.

These are two rolls of cardboard that will replace the original carriers, providing the strongest legs.

These are the two legs repaired.

In the following video, I show how new supports are developed and how they were placed in each leg and finish.

Another is .. Like New!

Super Mario (Design)

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.

Hello Kitty (Big Model – Piñata)

drakerdg — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 18:58:38 +0000

From post: Hello Kitty (Model)

This is another Hello Kitty papercraft model, but on a scale of 150 cm (58.5 inches).

This photograph shows the model with the small model of Hello Kitty…

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.
