Ghostbusters Headquarters - 1/250 Scale Papercraft Diorama by Rawen - PR Models

Some buildings become so closely associated with a movie that it is almost impossible to look at them without remembering a particular scene, a character or even a piece of music. The Ghostbusters headquarters is certainly one of them, and now, thanks to Czech papercraft designer Rawen, from PR Models, you can have a miniature version of this famous New York firehouse on your desk.

Created in 1:250 scale, this little papercraft reproduces the headquarters of the Ghostbusters as seen in the classic 1984 movie directed by Ivan Reitman. The building is presented as a complete miniature diorama, with a section of street, sidewalks, the familiar Ghostbusters logo and, of course, the unmistakable Ecto-1 parked outside the entrance.

Despite its small scale, the model has some very nice architectural details, including the red brick walls, tall windows, decorative cornices and the distinctive entrance of the old firehouse. The tiny Ecto-1 is a particularly nice addition, and helps bring the whole scene to life.

For those who may not know, the Ghostbusters headquarters is based on a real building. The firehouse belongs to Hook & Ladder Company 8, located at 14 North Moore Street, in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The building was used for the exterior shots of the original movie and remains an active fire station today.

Here is an interesting curiosity: although the exterior scenes were filmed in New York, many of the interior scenes were actually shot at Fire Station No. 23, a former firehouse in Los Angeles. So, in a way, the famous Ghostbusters headquarters that we remember from the movie was created using two different buildings, thousands of kilometers apart.

Released in 1984, Ghostbusters became one of the most recognizable comedies of the decade, combining supernatural adventures, humor and some very memorable characters. More than forty years later, its headquarters, the Ecto-1 and that little white ghost inside a red prohibition sign are still instantly recognizable.

Rawen describes this project as a quick little diorama, and the complete papercraft comes on just two sheets, one containing the parts and the other the assembly diagrams and base. The instructions also indicate a few pieces that should be reinforced with 1 mm thick paper. The templates are available as a free ZIP download on his Patreon page.

I particularly like papercrafts that recreate recognizable places from old movies. They are not just miniature buildings, but also little reminders of the films we watched and the characters we remember. This Ghostbusters headquarters is a good example of that, and Rawen has managed to capture its appearance in a surprisingly compact model.

If you like this little Ghostbusters diorama, I suggest downloading the templates while they are available for free. I don't know whether Rawen intends to keep this model free permanently or if this is just a temporary offer, so it might be a good idea to grab your copy while you can. And while you're visiting his Patreon page, take some time to explore his other creations. Rawen has many more interesting papercraft models available, and if you enjoy his work, consider supporting him by purchasing one of his paid models. It's a nice way to show your appreciation and help encourage him to keep creating new projects and, hopefully, sharing some of them with everyone for free.

Algumas construções ficam tão associadas a um filme que é praticamente impossível olhar para elas sem lembrar de uma cena, de um personagem ou até mesmo de uma música. O quartel-general dos Caça-Fantasmas certamente é uma delas e agora, graças ao designer tcheco de papercrafts Rawen, do PR Models, você pode ter uma versão em miniatura desse famoso quartel de bombeiros de Nova York sobre sua mesa.

Criado na escala 1:250, este pequeno papercraft reproduz o quartel-general dos Caça-Fantasmas, como aparece no clássico filme de 1984, dirigido por Ivan Reitman. A construção é apresentada como um diorama em miniatura, com um trecho de rua, calçadas, o conhecido logotipo dos Caça-Fantasmas e, naturalmente, o inconfundível Ecto-1 estacionado diante da entrada.

Apesar da escala reduzida, o modelo apresenta detalhes arquitetônicos muito interessantes, como as paredes de tijolos vermelhos, as janelas altas, as cornijas decorativas e a entrada característica do antigo quartel. O pequeno Ecto-1 é um detalhe especialmente simpático, que ajuda a dar vida à cena.

Para quem não sabe, o quartel-general dos Caça-Fantasmas é baseado em uma construção verdadeira. O prédio pertence à Hook & Ladder Company 8, localizada no número 14 da North Moore Street, no bairro de Tribeca, em Manhattan, Nova York. O edifício foi utilizado nas filmagens externas do primeiro filme e continua funcionando como quartel de bombeiros até hoje.

Aqui vai uma curiosidade interessante: embora as cenas externas tenham sido filmadas em Nova York, muitas das cenas internas foram gravadas na Fire Station No. 23, um antigo quartel de bombeiros de Los Angeles. Portanto, de certa maneira, o famoso quartel-general dos Caça-Fantasmas que conhecemos do cinema foi criado utilizando dois edifícios diferentes, separados por milhares de quilômetros.

Lançado em 1984, Os Caça-Fantasmas se tornou uma das comédias mais conhecidas daquela década, misturando aventuras sobrenaturais, humor e personagens bastante marcantes. Mais de quarenta anos depois, o quartel-general, o Ecto-1 e aquele fantasminha branco dentro de uma placa vermelha de proibição continuam sendo imediatamente reconhecíveis.

Rawen descreve este projeto como um pequeno diorama de montagem rápida, e o papercraft completo ocupa apenas duas folhas, uma com as peças e outra com os diagramas de montagem e a base. As instruções também indicam algumas peças que devem ser reforçadas com papel de 1 mm de espessura. Os templates estão disponíveis gratuitamente em um arquivo ZIP na página do autor no Patreon.

Eu gosto particularmente de papercrafts que recriam lugares conhecidos de filmes antigos. Eles não são apenas construções em miniatura, mas também pequenas lembranças dos filmes que assistimos e dos personagens que ficaram na memória. Este quartel-general dos Caça-Fantasmas é um bom exemplo disso, e Rawen conseguiu reproduzir sua aparência em um modelo surpreendentemente compacto.

Se você gostou deste pequeno diorama dos Caça-Fantasmas, sugiro baixar os templates enquanto estão disponíveis gratuitamente. Não sei se Rawen pretende manter este modelo gratuito permanentemente ou se esta é apenas uma oferta temporária, então talvez seja uma boa ideia garantir sua cópia enquanto é possível. E já que você estará visitando a página dele no Patreon, aproveite para conhecer suas outras criações. Rawen tem muitos outros modelos de papercraft interessantes disponíveis e, se você gosta do trabalho dele, considere apoiá-lo comprando um de seus modelos pagos. É uma maneira simpática de demonstrar reconhecimento pelo seu trabalho e incentivá-lo a continuar criando novos projetos e, quem sabe, compartilhando alguns deles gratuitamente com todos nós.

Who you gonna call? This time, all you need is a printer, some paper and a little patience. Build your own miniature Ghostbusters headquarters using the free templates available at Rawen's Patreon page through the link below:

Kameyama Castle Tamon Yagura - A Historic Japanese Castle Papercraft - by Design Office Tree

This beautiful papercraft reproduces the Tamon Yagura of Kameyama Castle, a historic building located in the city of Kameyama, Mie Prefecture, Japan. The model was designed by Design Office Tree and made available for free by the city government to celebrate the completion of the restoration of the original building in 2013.

Kameyama Castle was built in 1590, during a period of major political and military changes in Japan. The Tamon Yagura, which can be described as an elongated defensive turret, is believed to have been constructed around 1632, on top of a large stone foundation.

An interesting detail is that, although most of the old castle disappeared over the centuries, the Tamon Yagura survived and is now considered an important historic structure. According to the city government, it is the only surviving example of this kind of castle defensive building in Mie Prefecture.

Between 2011 and 2013, the building underwent an extensive restoration known as the Heisei no Daishuri, or Great Restoration of the Heisei Era. The work aimed to recover its historic appearance, including the white plaster walls characteristic of traditional Japanese castle architecture.

The papercraft reproduces not only the building, with its traditional Japanese roof and small windows, but also the large sloping stone walls, stairways and different levels of the surrounding terrain. Once assembled, the result is a very interesting architectural diorama that can be appreciated from several angles.

The files are divided into nine sheets of parts, five for the building and four for the stone foundation. There are also seven pages of illustrated assembly instructions. The completed model occupies an area of approximately 32 by 43 centimeters, while the main building measures about 15 by 20 centimeters.

In the photographs provided by the city government, the model is displayed on a wooden base, with small patches of vegetation and an identification plaque. It is worth mentioning that these additional elements are not included in the printable templates.

I found this project particularly interesting because, besides resulting in a beautiful miniature, it also helps preserve and share a small part of Japanese history and architecture.

All the files are available for free in PDF format on the official Kameyama City website, including the building, the stone walls and the assembly instructions.

Este belo papercraft reproduz a Tamon Yagura do Castelo de Kameyama, uma construção histórica localizada na cidade de Kameyama, na província de Mie, no Japão. O modelo foi criado pelo Design Office Tree e disponibilizado gratuitamente pela prefeitura da cidade, como parte das comemorações pela conclusão dos trabalhos de restauração do edifício original, em 2013.

O Castelo de Kameyama foi construído em 1590, durante um período de grandes transformações políticas e militares no Japão. A Tamon Yagura, que pode ser descrita como uma torre defensiva alongada, teria sido erguida por volta de 1632, sobre uma grande base de muralhas de pedra.

Uma curiosidade é que, embora a maior parte do antigo castelo tenha desaparecido ao longo dos séculos, a Tamon Yagura sobreviveu e hoje é considerada uma construção histórica bastante importante. Segundo a prefeitura, ela é o único exemplo sobrevivente de uma estrutura defensiva de castelo desse tipo na província de Mie.

Entre 2011 e 2013, a construção passou por uma grande restauração, conhecida como Heisei no Daishuri, ou Grande Restauração da Era Heisei. Os trabalhos procuraram recuperar sua aparência histórica, incluindo as paredes revestidas de argamassa branca, características da arquitetura dos antigos castelos japoneses.

O papercraft reproduz não apenas o edifício, com seu tradicional telhado japonês e pequenas janelas, mas também as grandes muralhas inclinadas de pedra, escadarias e diferentes níveis do terreno. Depois de montado, o conjunto forma um diorama arquitetônico bastante interessante, que pode ser apreciado de vários ângulos.

Os arquivos estão divididos em nove folhas de peças, sendo cinco dedicadas ao edifício e quatro à base de pedra. Há também sete páginas de instruções ilustradas. O modelo completo ocupa uma área de aproximadamente 32 por 43 centímetros, enquanto a construção principal mede cerca de 15 por 20 centímetros.

Nas fotografias disponibilizadas pela prefeitura, o modelo aparece sobre uma base de madeira, com pequenos detalhes de vegetação e uma placa de identificação. É importante observar que esses elementos adicionais não fazem parte dos arquivos para impressão.

Achei este um projeto especialmente interessante porque, além de resultar em uma bela miniatura, também ajuda a preservar e divulgar um pequeno pedaço da história e da arquitetura japonesa.

Todos os arquivos estão disponíveis gratuitamente, em formato PDF, no site oficial da Prefeitura de Kameyama, incluindo as peças do edifício, as muralhas e as instruções de montagem.

Build Your Own Scottish Town - Eleven Architectural Papercrafts via Doors Open Days

A small Scottish town made entirely of paper. This is the idea behind Cut • Fold • Build, an interesting collection of 11 papercraft models of traditional Scottish buildings, created by the Scottish Civic Trust and made available through the Doors Open Days website.

The collection brings together different styles of Scottish architecture, from urban residential buildings and apartment blocks to medieval chapels and 17th-century houses. Each model represents a little of the country's architectural diversity and offers a fun way to discover its buildings and traditions.

The project was launched in 2020 with a simple purpose: to encourage people of all ages to explore Scotland's architectural heritage through hands-on activities.

The models were designed to be printed on A4 paper and assembled using basic materials such as scissors and glue. The sheets include cutting, folding and gluing guidelines, along with a suggested assembly sequence to make construction easier. Some models are more elaborate and require several pieces.

One interesting detail is that the models can also be customized. You can color the buildings realistically by researching their original appearance, or simply use your imagination to create completely different versions.

And, of course, there is nothing stopping you from combining all 11 buildings to create a miniature Scottish town made of paper, complete with streets, squares and other scenery elements.

The material is available for free in English and Scottish Gaelic, including printer-friendly versions. A particularly interesting collection for anyone who enjoys architecture, history, dioramas and, of course, papercraft.

Uma pequena cidade escocesa feita inteiramente de papel. Essa é a proposta do Cut • Fold • Build, uma interessante coleção de 11 modelos de construções típicas da Escócia, criada pelo Scottish Civic Trust e disponibilizada através do site Doors Open Days.

A coleção reúne diferentes estilos de arquitetura escocesa, desde edifícios residenciais urbanos e blocos de apartamentos até capelas medievais e casas do século XVII. Cada modelo representa um pouco da diversidade arquitetônica do país e oferece uma maneira divertida de conhecer suas construções e tradições.

O projeto foi lançado em 2020, com uma proposta simples: incentivar pessoas de todas as idades a explorar o patrimônio arquitetônico escocês através de atividades manuais.

Os modelos foram pensados para serem impressos em papel A4 e montados com materiais básicos, como tesoura e cola. As folhas apresentam indicações de corte, dobra e colagem, além de uma sequência sugerida para facilitar a montagem. Alguns modelos são mais elaborados e exigem várias peças.

Um detalhe interessante é que os modelos também podem ser personalizados. É possível colorir as construções de maneira realista, pesquisando suas características originais, ou simplesmente usar a imaginação para criar versões completamente diferentes.

E, naturalmente, nada impede que os 11 edifícios sejam reunidos para formar uma pequena cidade escocesa de papel, com ruas, praças e outros elementos de cenário.

O material está disponível gratuitamente em inglês e gaélico escocês, com versões próprias para impressão. Uma coleção especialmente interessante para quem gosta de arquitetura, história, dioramas e, claro, papercraft.

Nürburgring Zeitnehmerhaus 1950 - 1/64 Scale Papercraft by Henning Möller - via Carrera4Fun

This beautiful paper model reproduces the Zeitnehmerhaus, or Timekeeper's House, from the legendary Nürburgring circuit in Germany, as it appeared in 1950.

Created by Henning Möller and available on the Carrera4Fun website, the model is in 1/64 scale, making it especially interesting for die-cast car collectors and for creating historical motorsport dioramas.

For decades, the Zeitnehmerhaus was one of Nürburgring's most characteristic buildings. Located near the start and finish area, it witnessed a large part of the circuit's history and had its appearance modified several times over the years.

Henning chose to reproduce the building as it appeared in 1950. In this configuration, the upper cabin with its characteristic roof was already present, as was the Mercedes star, while some of the extensions that would become part of its appearance in later years had not yet been built.

The model takes up nine sheets, including two intended for cardboard reinforcement. The Carrera4Fun page also provides assembly instructions and an exploded-view drawing to help with construction.

Despite the amount of graphic detail, Henning tried to keep the model accessible to build. From the beginning, the idea was to find a balance between simplicity and authenticity, something that, as you will see below, is directly related to the way he approaches modeling.

When Henning told me that the Zeitnehmerhaus was finally available, he also kindly sent me a text telling a little of the story behind this model.

His account ended up going far beyond the Zeitnehmerhaus itself. Henning told me a little about his history as a modeler, his passion for motorsport, how he met Frank Rehberg of Carrera4Fun, and how that friendship eventually led to a rather ambitious project related to the Nürburgring centenary, which will be celebrated in 2027.

Henning kindly allowed me to share his account here on Papermau. I made only a few small adaptations to the text so that it would flow more naturally within this post, without changing the essence of what he wrote so generously and spontaneously.

In the words of Henning Möller:

My interest in building things goes back to my childhood. LEGO, model kits, or even pieces handmade from wood with a coping saw, over the years I have built a little bit of everything.

My greatest hobby has always been model railroading. On my first layout, I even included a Faller AMS track, and both slot cars and that scale never completely left me. Later I moved from HO scale to N scale, but my second great passion, Formula 1 in particular and motorsport in general, eventually brought me back to slot cars when I reached the age of 50.

At first I returned to HO scale, or more precisely 1/64 scale, and later to Carrera Evolution in 1/32 scale.

But simply laying a track on the carpet seemed a little boring to me. For me, there had to be some atmosphere around it.

The problem is that suitable buildings and accessories are not exactly plentiful, and I also did not want to spend hundreds of euros just to place a few structures around the track.

That was how I began finding various websites dedicated to papercraft on the internet. During one of those searches, I came across Frank Rehberg's website, Carrera4Fun.

I immediately built the Dunlop Tower, followed by the Conti Tower, the pit lane and the gas station. Those buildings had a special charm, and before long I had caught the Nürburgring fever.

But the Zeitnehmerhaus was missing.

Together with the Dunlop Tower, the Shell gas station, the Conti Tower and the pit lane, the Timekeeper's House was certainly one of the most important structures at the Ring during the first seven decades after its opening in 1927.

On a motorsport website, I found a photograph of a model of this building, with Frank Rehberg credited as its creator. So I decided to contact him and ask whether he intended to make it available.

His reply came quickly and was unexpectedly positive. Frank offered to send me the PDF file of the model and asked only that I take photographs of the building process.

That was how a great friendship began.

A few years ago, after we completed the Schleizer Dreieck building for its centenary, Frank and I decided to turn our attention to the Nürburgring centenary.

The project grew to include new models still to be developed, updates to buildings that had already been released and, finally, the idea of recreating a complete pit area representing the first 70 years of the circuit.

After spending some time working with extremely detailed paper models in N scale, at the beginning of this year I decided to concentrate my work on 1/64 scale.

After the Dunlop Tower, it was time for the Zeitnehmerhaus.

I have always been fascinated by classic cars from the 1950s, so I decided to recreate the Nürburgring buildings as they appeared during that period. My goal is to develop models that are relatively easy to build but, at the same time, look as authentic as possible.

I also do not necessarily follow the idea that absolutely everything in a paper model has to be made of paper. Schreiber-Bogen itself, for example, offers photo-etched parts to complement some of its paper ship models. I also like combining papercraft with traditional modeling techniques whenever they can contribute to the final result.

And there is still much more to come.

Not all of the models that Frank and I intend to add to Carrera4Fun have been released yet. It is also important to remember that developing a convincing model is not easy when precise dimensions or original plans are not available.

This means analyzing hundreds of photographs, comparing details, correcting countless errors and building test models. The whole process takes a great deal of time, and for that reason it simply is not possible to present a new project every month.

I also do not use professional software or a high-performance computer. I work with LibreOffice Draw on a Mac Mini 2.

End of Henning's account.

That last observation from Henning particularly caught my attention because my own way of working is quite similar.

I have never used expensive professional programs to create my models either. Until last month, I was still working on an old computer from 2010 running Windows 7, which had been with me for many years. Only now have I moved to a machine running Windows 11.

And I still use simple, free and intuitive tools. Among them are the good old MS Paint, Paint.NET, an old version of SketchUp, version 6, and also a free version of Pepakura.

Perhaps our experiences are a good demonstration that you do not need the newest computer or the most sophisticated software to create something interesting. The tools help, of course, but knowing well what we have at our disposal, finding our own solutions and, above all, enjoying the creative process are still what matter most.

In the message he sent me, Henning ended with words that made me particularly happy. He said that Papermau is an almost daily source of inspiration for his next projects and joked that, because of this, his to-do list just keeps getting longer.

I can only thank Henning for those words, for his generosity in sharing a little of his story and, of course, for all the work and dedication he put into creating this model.

And the Zeitnehmerhaus 1950 is far from the end of this story. Henning and Frank still have other Nürburgring-related projects in development for the circuit's centenary in 2027.

From what Henning has already hinted at, we can expect some very interesting things to come from this partnership.

The Nürburgring Zeitnehmerhaus 1950 in 1/64 scale, together with the assembly instructions, is available at Carrera4Fun at the link below:

GTA V Ammu-Nation Gun Shop Papercraft Revisited Test Build Almost Finished

The test build of the new version of the Ammu-Nation Gun Shop is almost complete and, this time, I gathered several photos showing a little more of the whole process, from the separate walls to the finished building standing on its base.

In some of the photos I placed a few 1/64 scale die-cast cars next to the model, including in the first image of this post. This is the classic scale used by many miniatures from Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Majorette, GreenLight, Johnny Lightning, Tomica and many others, and since the first version of this Ammu-Nation, back in 2015, one of my ideas was to create a small setting that could be used with this kind of miniature.

This test build had a very important purpose: to find out if everything I had redesigned on the computer would actually work when transferred to paper. After printing, cutting, folding, gluing and assembling each part, I can say that it does. All the pieces fit together perfectly, the proportions turned out as I expected and I found no structural problems that would require any major changes to the project.

It is particularly fun to see this model finished again because my relationship with GTA V goes back a long way. I have been playing the game practically since its release and have spent many, many hours exploring Los Santos and Blaine County, especially in GTA Online. After so much time, some places on the map become strangely familiar, almost like places in a city we actually know.

Curiously, it has been about a year since I last played GTA Online, but I think that break is coming to an end. October is almost here and anyone who has played GTA Online at this time of year knows that Halloween is one of the best times to return to Los Santos.

For a few weeks, the whole atmosphere of the game changes. UFOs begin appearing in the skies, driverless cars chase players along the roads, killers appear during the night and we can even run into a clone of our own character trying to kill us. There are also ghosts to find, pumpkins scattered around the map, special game modes, strange storms and several other surprises. Los Santos, which is not exactly a peaceful city to begin with, becomes even crazier.

I have always enjoyed the way Rockstar uses Halloween to play with the supernatural side of GTA Online. So, after almost a year away from the game, maybe this is a good excuse to bring my character out of retirement and take another drive around Los Santos. Who knows, perhaps this return will also provide some inspiration for a future papercraft?

Perhaps it is precisely because I am so familiar with the game world that I have always enjoyed turning some of its buildings into paper models. Rather than the big events of GTA V, it is often these ordinary places that catch my attention: a workshop, a garage, a warehouse, a neighborhood store or an Ammu-Nation discovered while driving around the map.

The first version of this Ammu-Nation was created in exactly this way, using images and textures that I captured directly inside GTA V. Eleven years later, it has been very interesting to return to the same building with different resources and rebuild practically all of the graphics, trying to improve the textures and add details without losing the simplicity of the original model.

Now that I know the construction works as it should and, most importantly, that all the pieces fit together perfectly, I can dedicate myself to the next stage: preparing the final templates. I will organize the parts, make the last graphic adjustments and try to make everything as clear and simple as possible for assembly.

I still have a few ideas for small things that I might add to the model before the final version, but for now nothing has been decided. As often happens with my projects, some ideas appear just when I think everything is already finished.

As soon as everything is ready, I will publish the model here on the blog for everyone who wants to build their own Ammu-Nation Gun Shop.
