Rabbit Papercraft - Mesousa (Pani Poni Dash!)

This sadly looking rabbit is named Mesousa - he has a serious case of depression (Prozac anyone?) and comes from the Japanese series Pani Poni Dash! (ぱにぽにだっしゅ!), which focuses on parodies, satires, and comedy with regards to both Japanese and American pop-culture (internet, anime, gaming). The story centers around "Becky", an 11 year-old child prodigy / mathematics teacher and the antics of her class. Mesousa is Becky's companion and is there primarily as a sacrificial victim to the series' slapstick comedy. The series started out as a manga and later on as anime, it was published by Square Enix and created by Hekiru Hikawa. Free download for this simple paper model is available below.

Sword of the Phoenix Paper Model

A Ninjatoes update, from the Uncanny X-Men comic, issue #479, here is the Sword of the Phoenix paper craft model. I don't know anything much about it, except for the fact that it's a cool sword and it's a Ninjatoes creation, that's good enough for me. If you know anything about it just put it on the comments section or send me an email and I'll credit you for it. Download it for free at Ninjatoes web site.

Friday the 13th Papercraft - Jason Voorhees

I know Halloween is done and over and I wish I could have posted it last week, it's better late than never I guess. One of the most notable film characters in the horror genre is Jason Voorhees, he's the one with the hockey mask, wielding a machete/knife and the one doing all the gory killing. He's in line with other famous horror characters in popular culture such as Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elmstreet), Leatherface (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and Michael Myers (Halloween). Some other facts about him that you might have not known: MTV gave him a Lifetime Achievement Award back in '92 and his trademark white mask was molded from a 1950's Detroit Red Wings hockey mask. Our friend Octavio from Assembled Paper Models has created this Jason Vorhees paper model / Friday the 13th papercraft complete with blood splatter. Free download is available at his site, check it out.

Sushi Papercraft Anyone?

I love food, heck, everybody loves food! One in particular that's been constantly gaining popularity to a wider audience of food lovers worldwide is sushi, yes, that rolled-up or flattened rice thingy with you-don't-know-what toppings in the middle of it, that's sushi. Japan's most tasty contribution to the culinary world is fast becoming a staple in some major continents. There are many types and varieties of sushi, ranging from simple (salmon/shrimp) to exotic (fugu/shark) and to the absurd (raw deer/chicken). But in order to get the real thing you might want to find a "GOOD" sushi bar or Japanese restaurant instead of picking one up in your local grocery or supermarket. If you've got the dough, I encourage you to visit Nobu, it's worth every penny. Today's post features free sushi paper crafts that also includes a beer cut-out paper model and a turntable paper automata. Free download for these cool and cute crafts are available at the Paper Model Maniax web site. This is the same site were we got the Moichi paper model that we used on the Beginner's video post, feel free to check out their other section comprised of teddy bear paper crafts. Enjoy!
