In the archives of the Germanic Museum in Nuremberg there is a Renaissance wood engraving that is thought to be the earliest paper model template ever created. The engraving was produced around 1529 by Georg Hartmann (1489 - 1564), a mathematician and designer of scientific instruments. - Tektonten

If you want to know more about this really unusual paper model, that is a sundial too, please visit Tektonten`s Blog. You will find really nice posts about paper models and several original models made by the author.
