This model is based on the camera obscura used in the Fatal Frame series of video games for the Playstation 2, xbox, and now Wii.
"Fatal Frame, known as Project Zero in Europe and Australia, and as Zero (零, Zero?, this is a pun; this kanji is normally read rei, which can also mean "ghost")[1] in Japan, is a survival horror video game series, so far consisting of four games and a spin-off. The first and second games in the series were released for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox, the third game is only available for the PlayStation 2, and the fourth game has been released exclusively for the Wii. The series deals with ghosts, exorcism, and dark Shinto rituals.
Created by Tecmo, Fatal Frame is one of the most well received survival horror games to date.[2] The main object of the game is to solve a mystery which is linked to Japanese folklore. The player's main enemies are ghosts; a few are friendly, but most are not. The only form of defense is a Camera Obscura, which allows the player to exorcise ghosts by taking a picture of them and seal their spirit in the film."(wiki)
Enjoy everybody!

Here is a display base for Goku, I will use this one for good guys that will fit on it(want to keep it to 1 page), and a version for the bad guys as well. I will design a different stand for the larger guys as I get to them.

Finally after what seems like forever I have a new release for you all. The model stands at 23cm. when completed, no display stand for this one yet, I will in time make a generic Dragonball stand to be used for ones that need a little extra support(use weight in his feet to be sure he stands for now). There will be many more DBZ crafts to follow.
Here is a little info on the character if you have never heard of DBZ.
"Son Goku (孫 悟空, Son Gokū, addressed only as Goku in most English adaptations) is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball universe created by Akira Toriyama. He first appears in the first chapter Bulma and Son Goku (ブルマと孫悟空, Buruma to Son Gokū) first published in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine on December 3, 1984.[1] He is loosely based on Sun Wukong, a central character in Journey to the West, however, Toriyama changed some of his characteristics to be more original. Goku is introduced as an odd, monkey-tailed boy who practices martial arts and possesses superhuman strength.[2] As the story unfolds, he is actually revealed to be from a fictional race of extraterrestrials called Saiyans, said to be the strongest warriors within the fictional universe.[3]
Goku starred in most of the films, specials and video games from the Dragon Ball series. Outside of the series, Goku also had cameo appearances in Toriyama's self-parody series Neko Majin Z. He also been the subject of parodies, and has also appeared in various special events and in American pop culture." (WIKI)

All other models I have in progress will be released sooner or later, I get burnt out on the same subject and needed a change of pace.

Finally after a few months I am back online. Didn't get a whole lot of modeling time during my break though, I do have a Raphael and Casey Jones template almost ready to be posted however.
While I was offline I rekindled my love for Dragonball Z watching the entire series over and over, so I guess you know what that means........DBZ papercrafts! I plan on doing as many as possible, I am almost finished with the first one I will be offering and it's not fat Buu or Mr. Hercule or kid Goku as I know these already exist, lets just say he likes candy has a short stature and a very bad temper.

Just a quick post here with another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles model for you guys. This time it's an 8cm Mouser papercraft, the Mouser was created by Baxter Stockman to hunt down the Ninja Turtles. The rar file contains a pdo file, and 2 pdf files(1 lined 1 lineless)

Due to the host I was using only allowing me 5gb of bandwidth every 30 days and using it up in roughly 10-15 days I decided to switch over to mediafire. I was using fileden mainly because they allowed hot-linking, which was a lot more convenient to have the download start automatically instead of a new tab or window opening up. Keep letting me know if any links aren't working though, I might not be able to get to it right away but I will always try to get them replaced asap.

Here's one I have been wanting to see for a long time now. For me this is something nostalgic cause I grew up watching these guys every Saturday morning, so I am excited to be able to make this model available to you guys. Leo is just the start of hopefully a long line of TMNT papercrafts.
When you build the model put some weight in the front of his left foot to stabilize him better, he stands without it but his shell weighs him down a bit.

I am still working on Robocop for those that are wondering, he is going to be pretty detailed and probably around 45cm-90cm. tall(not sure yet) so he will end being a long term project.

Here is the next model I plan on releasing here in a few days, just got a couple spots on the texture that need tweaked. What size would you guys like this one unfolded at initially, you will be able to scale it up or down when you build it.

Like Sunfire I plan on doing his original version Angel soon as well.

"Sunfire (Shiro Yoshida (吉田四郎 ,Yoshida Shirō?)) is a fictional character, a mutant superhero in the Marvel Comics Universe and former member of the X-Men. Created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Don Heck, he first appeared in X-Men #64 (January 1970).
Sunfire is a temperamental and arrogant Japanese mutant who can generate superheated plasma and fly. Not suited for teamwork, Sunfire was only briefly a member of the X-Men and has kept limited ties to the team since. He has had some presence in the greater Marvel Universe."-wiki
So I finally decided to finish this one up, the file is unfolded at 21cm. and is left unlocked in case any of you find it too small to build.

I plan on doing his alternate version Famine here pretty soon as well.

Here is a model I have been debating on posting for a while now. First and foremost the people who have downloaded this seem to be upset by the fact that there are no textures for these models, the reason for that is that they were modeled from scratch and not ripped from the game. The files are mainly meant to serve as a base for making 1:1 props, I planned on glassing and painting them, just haven't gotten around to actually doing that yet.
I have seen it posted elsewhere but figured it wouldn't hurt to put it up here as well. I was using the name Schofield Tools on /po/ when I was designing it cause from the game they are the company who manufacture the mining equipment.

"Captain America is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (March 1941), from Marvel Comics' 1940s predecessor, Timely Comics,[1] and was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Over the years, an estimated 210 million copies of "Captain America" comic books have been sold in a total of 75 countries.[2] For nearly all of the character's publication history Captain America was the alter ego of Steve Rogers, a sickly young man who was enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum in order to aid the United States war effort. Captain America wears a costume that bears an American flag motif, and is armed with an indestructible shield that can be thrown as a weapon."-wiki
Finally Cap is completed! Overall I am very satisfied with the way it turned out, the only things I would have changed is bringing his shield arm down more to his side and simplifying his hands a bit more. The model comes with a stand like the others, and a few optional extras(raised stars and a 3d belt), the file is not locked if you want to rescale, but if you want to keep it in scale with the previous comic models keep it the same size. Please send your built pics and your name to actionpapercraft@comcast.net and I'll put them up in the build gallery.

p.s. Aside from this one the downloads will resume here shortly, I exceeded my bandwidth and it resets sometime today.

Just wanted to make a post real quick to let you guys know that I haven't abandoned work on Cap. The reason I released the Predator first was I noticed a scaling problem relative to my previous comic character models(Deadpool,Wolverine) Deadpool being the first one set the scale for all the future comic character models I make. My build ended up being shorter than Deadpool, and since Deadpool is in a crouching stance and Cap is standing straight, he needs to be taller than Deadpool to keep the scale the same. I have the new re-scaled Cap model sitting on my desk waiting to be built so you should be seeing him real soon. I also decided to scrap the alternate stand with the flag as I kind of want to keep them all looking the same.

I have 3 models ready to be unfolded here. I would like for you guys to decide what you would like to build next, so just put your choice here and I will make the one that gets the most votes next. The choices are FaceHugger, Exo-Suit, and Robocop.
The deadline is April 10th.

"When I was little, we found a man. He looked like - like, butchered. The old woman in the village crossed themselves... and whispered crazy things, strange things. "El Diablo cazador de hombres." Only in the hottest years this happens. And this year, it grows hot. We begin finding our men. We found them sometimes without their skins... and sometimes much, much worse. "El cazador trofeo de los hombres" means the demon who makes trophies of men."

"The Predator is an alien humanoid with advanced technology and a penchant for hunting difficult game. With interstellar travel capability, multi-spectrum vision enhancement, and a light-bending armor suit with equally advanced weaponry, the Predator is able to travel anywhere, hunt anything, and usually succeed."

Here's another model for you guys,I left the model unlocked so your free to re-scale as necessary cause I know 68cm. is pretty big. I'm going to be replacing all the locked files here with unlocked ones pretty soon. There is a spear that comes with the model, I didn't build it due to not having the space to display it.
I am going to be adding a build gallery of my models and would love to include pictures of all of your builds of any models of mine you have made, please send them to actionpapercraft@comcast.net if you would like your builds to be seen.

Hello all, some of you might have noticed the blog was down for a little while, obviously the reason was I was updating the look. As the post title says this will be the last time I change the look of the blog. You will notice that I have started to include video game news and info as well papercrafts. There isn't much content just yet so bear with me while I get more stuff added every day.

Finally I am back online after 2 weeks of waiting for the cable company to show up at our new house. Captain America is almost ready for release I just need to build up the gloves, I should have him up in a few days. I also have been working on a few surprise models, which will be released here very shortly(probably before Cap) The first is a big model standing at 68cm. which would be 1:3 scale. I will more than likely release a smaller 1:6 scale as well. I'll give you guys a hint by a line from the movie(probably an easy guess)..........GO!.......RUN!.......GET TO THE CHOPPA! I plan on doing several of these.
The other surprise models will probably be fairly large as well. A little hint for this one as well....DEAD OR ALIVE, YOU ARE COMING WITH ME!

Hi all, this is my first post, so I'll quickly introduce myself: I'm going to do some more W40k papercraft and BlueDragon kindly offered to release my models on this site. Originally I was lurking on /po/ a lot where I also found a link to this blog.
So here's my first model: another W40K Space Marine to accompany the 35 cm big model from BlueDragon. Why do we need two, you ask? Well it seems that we both had the same idea at the same time. And when BlueDragon released his, I was already testbuilding mine. And it's a different size (22 cm) and a different pose so I think it's well worth releasing both.
There are a lots of different textures in the zip file so that you can select your favorite chapter colors (see the included README.txt for instruction on how to do use them). Also note that the PDO file additionally contains a chain sword to be put into the free hand. I haven't actually built that part so it may contain errors.
OK, enough talk, here are the files:
- full version with PDO, PDFs in ultramarine colors, and different textures (around 40 MB)
- PDO only with ultramarine colorscheme (around 3 MB)
- And here are some pictures of me building it (around 40 MB).
Have fun!

I am almost ready to start the unfold on Captain America and wanted to get some input from some of you that will be building it. I have designed two stands here and can't decide which one to go with, I still have to put the lettering on the one with the flagpole. Also I wanted to know if any of you guys can think of any extra add-ons to go with him, so far I have the optional belt and raised stars(was thinking utility pouches for the optional belt) So any and all suggestions are welcome.

Here's another bobblehead papercraft for you guys, I simplified the build a bit more with this one. For some reason I couldn't save it as a pdo file, every time I tried it wouldn't reopen just got an error message and Pepakura would just close. So I converted it to a pdf in vector format, and I included the obj. file(for build reference) along with the texture file, you might have to apply the texture when you open the obj file. More than likely I will do the rest of the bobbleheads, next I'm going to do the big guns bobblehead, at least I think that's the name of it, lol.
Enjoy guys, any questions at all don't hesitate to ask;)

Here is the progress with Cap so far, as you can see in the pic where I test built the head I plan on changing the build style of the models. I want them to be more accessible to someone just starting out or doesn't want a overly detailed model. With the head I reduced it down to 3 pieces (Wolverine was 21) and 1 for each of the ears.

BlueDragon

Progress on Captain America is going much quicker than Wolverine so far, as I said in my Wolverine release post I plan on reducing the detail, I want to reduce the faces by at least half to simplify the build. So far I have the legs alone reduced by roughly 15 pieces per leg compared to Wolverine.

BlueDragon

Here is another one for you guys, this time it's Wolverine. This one was a challenging build cause it has some pretty small parts for the face, also the boots are kind of tricky to attach. I would recommend when you get to the boots to build them starting from the top working your way down to the ankles then attach to the legs. As you can see in the picture I only built up one of the hands so far, which doesn't matter for the release cause the other one is a mirrored version of the one built. After this model I am going to be simplifying the models removing some detail, so expect Captain America to be much easier to build than this one.

Just wanted to post a progress update here real quick. As you can see the final build is almost complete, all that's left is the hands, claws, and edge coloring(white lines always look so much worse in a pic then in real life).The stand will be required to make him stand up unfortunately, I'm sure you could probably glue some pennies inside around the lower back area to counterbalance him though, I just didn't think about it until I already had him closed up. I'm going to try to find the time to get the build completed and the patterns uploaded over this weekend.
p.s. I just noticed I glued the stand wrong. The wolverine lettering is in the wrong position making it look like a plus sign instead of an X, just wanted to note that.

I have a Space Marine papermodel almost ready to go, I am looking for a test builder to build this up for me while I finish up Wolverine. The model is 35cm. but I could use some suggestions as to what you guys think will be a good size, I should have the model completely unfolded and ready for test build by Friday. This one will be just the first in a large series from WarHammer I plan on releasing. Anybody wants to do a test build for me let me know, it may be a while before I can do the build myself.

Here is a model I forgot that I had made a while back, I happened upon it while going through my papercrafts folder and thought I would post it here. The model comes with 1 pdo of the Bolter, 1 pdo of 3 Bolter rounds, 1 pdo of the shadowbox, and pdf versions of each as well.

First let me say a thank you to everybody that voted. It looks like Captain America is the winner with 72 votes, with Moonknight in a close second with 69 votes. Seems how they were so close I will do both, Captain America will be first, followed by Moonknight. The final Wolverine template is unfolded and printed, I am starting the build tonight and hopefully should have it done and ready for download by this weekend at the very latest(would be done already but I had to go back and remodel his eyes). I unfortunately was not able to come up with a reliable way to make his claws retract, there just wasn't enough room in his forearms to squeeze in the claw assembly that I had made up. I could have redesigned it but that would have meant pushing the release back, and that's something I didn't want to do.
