Volcano Paper Model - by Think Quest.Org - Vulcão

A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot magma, volcanic ash and gases to escape from below the surface.
Volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. A mid-oceanic ridge, for example the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, has examples of volcanoes caused by divergent tectonic plates pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes caused by convergent tectonic plates coming together. By contrast, volcanoes are usually not created where two tectonic plates slide past one another. Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust in the interiors of plates, e.g., in the East African Rift, the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field and the Rio Grande Rift in North America. This type of volcanism falls under the umbrella of "Plate hypothesis" volcanism.
Intraplate volcanism has also been postulated to be caused by mantle plumes. These so-called "hotspots", for example Hawaii, are postulated to arise from upwelling diapirs from the core-mantle boundary, 3,000 km deep in the Earth. - Wikipedia

Vulcão é uma estrutura geológica criada quando o magma, gases e partículas quentes (como cinzas) escapam para a superfície terrestre. Eles ejectam altas quantidades de poeira, gases e aerossóis na atmosfera, interferindo no clima. São frequentemente considerados causadores de poluição natural. Tipicamente, os vulcões apresentam formato cónico e montanhoso.
A erupção de um vulcão pode resultar num grave desastre natural, por vezes de consequências planetárias. Assim como outros desastres dessa natureza, as erupções são imprevisíveis e causam danos indiscriminados. Entre outras coisas, tendem a desvalorizar os imóveis localizados em suas vizinhanças, prejudicar o turismo e consumir a renda pública e privada em reconstruções. Na Terra, os vulcões tendem formar-se junto das margens das placas tectónicas. No entanto, existem excepções quando os vulcões ocorrem em zonas chamadas de hot spots (pontos quentes). Por outro lado, os arredores de vulcões, formados de lava arrefecida, tendem a ser compostos de solos bastante férteis para a agricultura.
A palavra "vulcão" deriva do nome do deus do fogo na mitologia romana Vulcano. A ciência que estuda os vulcões é chamada vulcanologia. - Wikipedia
Adaptei o modelo para a língua portuguesa, pois creio ser útil para trabalhos escolares.

WW2`s P51 Mustang and Lublin R-XVI Airplanes - by Kartonmodelle

The Real Thing

Air ambulance variant R-XVIb - Its prototype was flown in May 1933 . The plane was evaluated by the Army as quite successful, and a series of 5 air ambulances were ordered and built in 1935. They had registrations SP-AOH to AOM, and, along with the prototype, military numbers 11-1 - 11-6.
The Lublin R-XVI was conceived as a small 4-seater passenger plane, ordered by the Polish Ministry of Communications. It was a development of an unsuccessful Lublin R-XI design. The main designer was Jerzy Rudlicki. The new plane was lighter and introduced a trapezoid-shaped wing instead of an elliptical one. Both designs were partly modeled on a construction of Fokker F.VII, produced under licence by Plage i Laśkiewicz. The first prototype was flown in February 1932. - Wikipedia

The Real Thing  - "Replica"

The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang was an American long-range single-seat World War II fighter aircraft. It gained the reputation of being one of the best, if not the best, fighters of the war. Mustang pilots claimed 4,950 enemy aircraft shot down, the most of any Allied fighter in the conflict. - Wikipedia

P-51 Mustang — foi um caça norte-americano bem sucedido, com um longo alcance, que colocou novos padrões de excelente performance ao entrar em serviço a meio da Segunda Guerra Mundial e continua a ser referido como o melhor caça com motor-piston alguma vez criado. A versão defintiva do caça de um único lugar era movido com um motor Rolls Royce carregando um único suporte com armamento de seis metralhadoras de calibre 50 (12.7mm). - Wikipedia

Vintage "Star Wars" Death Star Play Set - by Erik Stormtrooper

A great deal of gratitude is due to Dan "The Man" Curto (visit his great customizing site, The Custom Alliance), who graciously disassembled this huge play set and scanned it in pieces. . The play set has been completely scanned though, and Dan even scanned the clips that hold it together.



These many scans are currently bundled together in one convenient ZIP file below. Since most of the pieces of the play set are double sided, many pieces in the ZIP file are named with a "-1" and "-2" appendix, to indicate that they go back-to-back. - Erik Stormtrooper

Sansara Sci Fi Vehicle - by Toposolitario

“Samsara” is derived from “to flow together”, “to wander”, “to go through different states”, always understood in the physical plane, in the earth, during the reincarnation cycle... so, someone who is in samsara state can be called a “wanderer in earth” or in other words a “Land Rover”.
At first, the Samsara tries to be a scifi Utility Vehicle, a big truck ready to any environment and task allowing the builder to configure it with a wide array of civilian and military options. So with only one paper model (while you wait for the add-ons which will give many more possibilities and variety). Samsara could be an All Terrain civilian Vehicle, a heavy cargo one, an IFV (infantry fighting vehicle), a mobile radar site, an autonomus SAM launcher, a tank-killer... as many options as you can imagine (well, not so much but you can as always ask me for more models). - Toposolitario

WW2 Italian Submarine Enrico Toti - by Delfini d'Acciaio

Enrico Toti was a Balilla-class Italian submarine laid down on 26 January 1925 at the Odero-Terni-Orlando Naval Yard, located in Muggiano, La Spezia. She was one of four in her class, launched on 14 April 1928 and commissioned on 19 September. Her name pays homage to Major Enrico Toti, a WWI combatant posthumously awarded the Italian Gold Medal. The submarine is notable as being the only Italian submarine to have sunk a Royal Navy submarine during the WWII. - Wikipedia

Enrico Toti foi um submarino italiano classe-Balilla e sua construção foi dada por encerrada em 26 de janeiro de 1925 no Estaleiro Naval Odero-Terni-Orlando, localizada no Muggiano, La Spezia. Seu nome é uma homenagem ao Major Enrico Toti, um combatente da Primeira Guerra Mundial, agraciado postumamente com a Medalha de Ouro italiana. Ele entrou para a história como o único submarino italiano a ter afundado um submarino da Marinha Real Britânica durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Gothic architecture is a style of architecture that flourished during the high and late medieval period. It evolved from Romanesque architecture and was succeeded by Renaissance architecture.
Originating in 12th century France and lasting into the 16th century, Gothic architecture was known during the period as "the French Style," (Opus Francigenum), with the term Gothic first appearing during the latter part of the Renaissance. Its characteristic features include the pointed arch, the ribbed vault and the flying buttress.
Gothic architecture is most familiar as the architecture of many of the great cathedrals, abbeys and churches of Europe. It is also the architecture of many castles, palaces, town halls, guild halls, universities and to a less prominent extent, private dwellings.
It is in the great churches and cathedrals and in a number of civic buildings that the Gothic style was expressed most powerfully, its characteristics lending themselves to appeal to the emotions. A great number of ecclesiastical buildings remain from this period, of which even the smallest are often structures of architectural distinction while many of the larger churches are considered priceless works of art and are listed with UNESCO as World Heritage Sites. For this reason a study of Gothic architecture is largely a study of cathedrals and churches.
A series of Gothic revivals began in mid-18th century England, spread through 19th-century Europe and continued, largely for ecclesiastical and university structures, into the 20th century. - Wikipedia


Arquitetura gótica é um estilo arquitetónico que segundo pesquisas, é evolução da arquitetura românica e precede a arquitetura renascentista. Foi desenvolvido na França em pleno período medieval, onde originalmente se chamava "Obra Francesa" (Opus Francigenum). O termo 'gótico' só apareceu no final do Renascimento como um insulto estilístico.
Com o gótico, a arquitetura ocidental atingiu um dos pontos culminantes da arquitetura pura. As abóbadas cada vez mais elevadas e maiores, não se apoiavam em muros e paredes compactas e sim sobre pilastras ou feixes de colunas. Uma série de suportes que eram constituídos por arcobotantes e contrafortes possuíam a função de equilibrar de modo externo o peso excessivo das abóbadas. Desta forma, imensas paredes espessas foram excluídas dos edifícios de género gótico e foram substituídas por vitrais e rosáceas que iluminavam o ambiente interno.
O estilo gótico ficou marcado em muitas catedrais europeias, entre elas a de Notre-Dame, Chartres, Colônia e Amiens, a maioria classificada como Patrimônio Mundial da UNESCO. - Wikipedia

The Rolling Reels Circus - by Paper Pino - Circo de Carretéis

A Really nice paper automata by Paper Pino.


The word Automaton is the latinization of the Greek αὐτόματον,... automaton, (neuter) “acting of one’s own will”. It is more often used to describe non-electronic moving machines, especially those that have been made to resemble human or animal actions, such as the jacks on old public striking clocks, or the cuckoo and any other animated figures on a cuckoo clock.
An evolution of the mechanized toys developed during the 18th and 19th centuries is represented by automata made with paper. Despite the relative simplicity of the material, paper automata intrinsically are objects with a high degree of technology, where the principles of mechanics meet the artistic creativity. - Wikipedia


A palavra Automaton é uma adaptação do grego αὐτόματον, ou agir por si próprio. É mais usado para descrever máquinas com movimentos não eletrônicos, tais como bonecos de corda ou mola, relógios cuco, ou qualquer outra figura animada, por meios que não os elétricos ou eletrônicos.
Uma evolução dos brinquedos mecânicos, desenvolvidos durante os séculos XVIII e XIX são os autômatos feitos em papel. Apesar da relativa simplicidade do material usado, no caso o papel, os chamados "paper automata" são objetos com alto grau de tecnologia, onde os rígidos princípios da mecânica harmonizam-se com a criatividade e liberdade artísticas.

Anatomy Head Paper Model - by Bert Simons - Cabeça Anatômica

 Anatomy Head (2005)

An anatomical incorrect represantat

"I have always been fascinated with anatomical drawings and models. Although I collect skulls of birds I don't have the balls to stuff a dead animal or even a human like Prof. von Hagen with his "Korperwelten" does. So I started to make my own cabinet of anatomical models in paper". - Bert Simons


"Eu sempre fui fascinado por imagens e modelos de anatomia. Mesmo colecionando esqueletos de pássaros, eu nunca tive coragem para dissecar ou empalhar um animal morto, ou um ser humano, como o Professor von Hagen, no seu livro "Korperwelten". então resolvi fazer meus próprios modelos de anatomia". - Bert Simons
