This Is Not Paper, But... - Building A Popsicle Stick House
In Half-Timbered Style With Templates - by Animal Pet Fans



When looking at the images, the first impression is: "oh, it is very difficult to build this popsicle stick house", but with the templates and the very well detailed video tutorial, anyone who really wants to, can put together just the same. 

I think this tutorial will be well appreciated by Wargames enthusiasts. and when I have time, I'll try to set one up for myself. 

An exquisite work by Animal Pet Fans, a Brazilian website.



Ao olhar para as imagens, a primeira impressão é: "oh, é muito difícil construir esta casa de palitos de picolé", mas com os templates e com o video-tutorial muito bem detalhado, qualquer pessoa que realmente queira, consegue montar uma igualzinha. 

Acho que esse tutorial será bem apreciado pelos entusiástas dos Wargames e quando eu tiver tempo, vou tentar montar uma para mim. 

Trabalho primoroso do site brasileiro Animal Pet Fans.

MACHINA - An Ingenious Automata Paper Model - by Paper Pino

This paper model is so incredible that I will let the author, the Italian oceanographer and designer Giuseppe "Pino" Civitarese, describe it: - "Although apparently this machine might seem completely useless, it is the proof that everything (or almost everything) is possible with paper… Download, print, build and have fun!"

Esse modelo de papel é tão incrível que eu deixarei o autor, o oceanógrafo e designer italiano Giuseppe "Pino" Civitarese, descrevê-lo: - "Embora aparentemente esta máquina possa parecer completamente inútil, é a prova de que tudo (ou quase tudo) é possível com papel… Baixe, imprima, construa e divirta-se!"

Ancient Rose Of The Winds Compass Paper Model - by Analemma



Offered by Analemma, a Dutch website, here is a beautiful paper model of a Rose of the Winds. A compass rose, sometimes called a windrose, or Rose of the Winds, is a figure on a compass, map, nautical chart, or monument used to display the orientation of the cardinal directions: North, East, South, and West—and their intermediate points. It is also the term for the graduated markings found on the traditional magnetic compass. Today, the idea of a compass rose is found on, or featured in, almost all navigation systems, including nautical charts, non-directional beacons (NDB), VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) systems, global-positioning systems (GPS), and similar equipment.



Oferecido por Analemma, um site holandês, eis aqui um belo modelo de papel de uma Rosa dos Ventos. Um compasso dos ventos, ou rosa dos ventos, é uma figura em uma bússola, mapa, carta náutica ou monumento usada para exibir a orientação das direções cardinais: Norte, Oriente, Sul e Oeste - e seus pontos intermediários. É também o termo para as marcas graduadas encontradas na bússola magnética tradicional. Hoje, a idéia de uma rosa dos ventos é encontrada em quase todos os sistemas de navegação, incluindo mapas náuticos, faróis não-direcionais (NDB), sistemas VHF (sistema VOR), sistemas de posicionamento global (GPS) e equipamentos similares.

The Ephemeral Museum - Wonderful Vintage Papercraft Lampshades
by Dieter Nievergelt


All of these wonderful vintage paper models (all originally printed over a hundred years ago) were assembled by collector and modeler Dieter Nievergelt, who also kindly shared them via Kartonmodell-Datenbank des AGK, a large German community of papercraft enthusiasts.

"In 1855, American chemistry professor Benjamin Silliman Jr. (1816-1885) built the first kerosene lamp. By 1870 oil was generally used for ambient lighting. As kerosene lamps, screenless and cheap, became popular and manufactured by many people, some ingenious minds sought a way to make them more attractive and salable. For this, it was obvious that almost all manufacturers - constantly in search of new sales opportunities - also offered handmade lampshades. The dome was then adorned with motives that boosted sales. And what else could attract than satisfy the desire for a healthy world and distant lands? Thus, lamps for kerosene lamps from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century have become a popular means of satisfying unattainable desires for beautiful places. Particularly popular motifs were exotic areas, especially those that were out of the reach of buyers. This included Switzerland, as well as Turkey or India. As an additional effect, there were lamps, which created a "night image" when lighting the lamp." - excerpt from the original text of Kartonmodell-Datenbank des AGK


Todos estes maravilhosos modelos de papel antigos (todos originalmente impressos há mais de cem anos) foram montados pelo colecionador e modelista Dieter Nievergelt, que também gentilmente os compartilhou via Kartonmodell-Datenbank des AGK, uma grande comunidade alemã de entusiastas do papelmodelismo.

"Em 1855, o professor de química americano Benjamin Silliman Jr. (1816-1885) construiu a primeira lâmpada de querosene. Por volta de 1870, o petróleo era geralmente usado para iluminação de ambientes. À medida que as lâmpadas de querosene, sem tela e baratas, se tornavam populares e fabricadas por muitas pessoas, algumas mentes engenhosas procuravam um modo de torná-las mais atraentes e vendáveis. Para isso, era óbvio que quase todos os fabricantes - constantemente em busca de novas oportunidades de vendas - também oferecessem abajures artesanais. A cúpula foi então adornada com motivos que impulsionasem as vendas. E o que mais poderia atrair do que satisfazer o desejo por um mundo saudável e terras distantes? Assim, os abajures para lâmpadas de querosene do final do século XIX até o início do século XX tornaram-se um meio popular de satisfazer desejos inatingíveis por lugares bonitos. Motivos particularmente populares eram áreas exóticas, especialmente aquelas que estavam fora do alcance dos compradores. Isso incluia a Suíça, bem como a Turquia ou a Índia. Como efeito adicional, havia abajures, que criavam uma "imagem noturna" ao acender a lâmpada. - trecho extraído do texto original de Kartonmodell-Datenbank des AGK

About the Ephemeral Museum:

I "am in the paper modeling" since 2005, although I've had contact with paper models from my childhood in the 1970s, via magazines that were sold sporadically in newsagents. I remember magazines with houses to build and dioramas/playsets of airports, western forts, nativity scenes and the like. With the advent of the internet what happened was simply a revival of the papercraft hobby for me and many other people of my generation. Today I am opening a new session here on the blog, the Ephemeral Museum , which is a place where I will show some of the models that I built all these years. I would also like this to be a space where all modelers friends could show their work, so if anyone wants to participate in this "museum", just send photos of your work and a few words, if you want, to the e-mail:

mautherous@gmail.com

All who submit their work will be published, without exceptions.


Eu "estou no papelmodelismo" desde 2005, embora eu já tivesse contato com modelos de papel desde minha infância, nos anos 1970, via revistas que eram vendidas esporadicamente em bancas de jornal. Lembro que haviam revistas com casas para montar e dioramas/playsets de aeroportos, fortes-apache, presépios e coisas do tipo. Com o advento da internet o que houve foi simplesmente um renascimento do hobby do papelmodelismo para mim e muitas outras pessoas de minha geração. Hoje eu estou inaugurando uma nova sessão aqui no blog, o Ephemeral Museum, que é um lugar aonde irei mostrar alguns dos modelos que eu construí em todos estes anos. Também gostaria que esse fosse um espaço aonde todos os amigos modelistas pudessem mostrar seus trabalhos, sendo assim, se alguém quiser participar deste "museu", basta mandar fotos de seu trabalho e algumas palavras para o e-mail abaixo:

mautherous@gmail.com

Todos que enviarem seus trabalhos serão publicados, sem exceções.
