Star Wars Episode 5 - 74Z Speeder Bike Paper Model

Beautifully detailed paper model of the speeder bike used on the moon of Endor in "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back." This specimen is from Noturno Sukhoi's site which features models from the Star Wars universe.

Check out all his projects at: Sukhoi Night: Star Wars Papercraft. Look around: there are other sci fi features and all of them look great.

Star Wars Episode 2 - Jango Fett w/ Jet Pack

Seeking models to fuel my Star Wars addiction, I recently found this incredible looking model of Jango Fett from the Episode Two film, "Attack of the Clones." Remember the fight scene on the planet of Kamino between Obi-Wan and Jango? This remarkable model depicts the bounty hunter using his jet pack to rise above his opponent and fire his pistols. It really looks great and is brought to us by the Print, Cut & Paste website. The PDF/PDO template can be downloaded for free.

Blade Runner's Police Spinner by Daumier Smith

As a fan of this 1982 film, I've seen models of this flying car vehicle before, but this has to be the best one yet! Highly detailed, free download. Thank you, Mr. Smith!

And Now for Something Completely Different

Found this little gem of a blog this morning. No models here, but brilliantly crafted paperwork.

People as old as me will remember "back in the day" doing Shadow Portraits; you would set up a light by the side of your face to leave a shadow of your profile onto a piece of paper taped to the wall. Someone would trace the outline of the profile and then it could be cut out, pasted to a background, and framed. A famous example of this are the pair of portraits of President's Washington and Lincoln found in many classrooms.

This artist has taken this technique to the next level.

Visit "Paper Cuts" by Olly Moss for wonderful Profile Portraits of many pop culture icons and well known personalities.

Take a look at these two and I think you'll see what I mean:

Aries IB Lunar Shuttlecraft from 2001: A Space Odessey

This is an incredibly detailed model of the ship used to transport humans to and from the moon in the film. Be sure to inspect other models created by this very talented Japanese designer, Uhu2. I really like the fact that the interior can be exposed. Attention to detail is astounding.

Cylon Raider

Found this fantastic version of Battlestar Galactica's Cylon Raider by NinjaToes. Bravo!

Photos Finally!

Here are some pics of some of the models I've constructed over the last year. Some are simple, some, not so much. The Viper is a particular favorite. Reminded me of when I was a kid. Ahh, good times. Anyway, I have links posted to take you to each of these projects, except for the '08 Card Boy Calendar; that was only available for free for a limited time. The others are all available for download for free.

Update - The Fahrenheit 451 Cafe' Model is no longer available.
