Magic, The Gatheing - Book Shaped Card Game Deck Box Papercraft
by Firebrand Creations

Created by designer and modeler Leo Firebrand, from Firebrand Creations website, here is a cool and unusual paper model of a Book Shaped Card Game Deck Box to your RPG and wargames acessories or just to decorate your shelf. 

About this papercraft, Leo Firebrand said: "I have wanted to create a project that people could download and make themselves for a while now. 

However creating the templates and instructions means you have to simplify the design significantly. I decided to do something that was not very complex and made a deck box for the card game Magic: The Gathering. 

Not wanting to keep it too simple I made it look like an ancient tome. The finished product can hold 75 cards and is very solid. Make sure to read the instructions before printing. 

This was a different approach for me than usual. I had to design the box so it would fit on 8.5 X 11 paper and I wanted it to use one sided printing. I went through about 5 prototypes before I found one I was happy with. 

I then created the blueprints and textures for the project. This was a great deal of fun and allowed me to flex my Photoshop muscles for a change. 

It's also unfortunate that most Papercraft projects have poor documentation, so I tried hard to make the instructions easy to follow. So grab the files and build yourself a new box to hold your cards for the next tournament."

Um modelo bem bacana e incomum de uma caixa para guardar cartas e acessórios de RPG, no formato de um livro muito antigo. Tão legal que, mesmo que você não curta RPG, pode montá-lo para decorar sua estante. Do site Firebrand Creations. 

Sobre este papercraft, Leo Firebrand disse: - "Eu queria criar um projeto que as pessoas pudessem baixar e fazer por conta própria já faz um tempo. 

No entanto, criar os modelos e instruções significa que você deve simplificar significativamente o design. Resolvi fazer algo que não fosse muito complexo e fiz uma caixa de baralho para o jogo de cartas Magic: The Gathering. 

Não querendo mantê-lo muito simples, fiz com que parecesse um livro antigo. O produto acabado pode conter 75 cartões e é muito sólido. Certifique-se de ler as instruções antes de imprimir. Esta foi uma abordagem diferente para mim do que o habitual. 

Eu tive que projetar a caixa para que ela coubesse em papel 8,5 X 11 e queria que ela usasse impressão em um lado. Passei por cerca de 5 protótipos antes de encontrar um que me deixasse satisfeito. 

Em seguida, criei as plantas e texturas para o projeto. Isso foi muito divertido e me permitiu flexionar meus músculos do Photoshop para variar. 

Também é lamentável que a maioria dos projetos de Papercraft tenha uma documentação ruim, então tentei muito tornar as instruções fáceis de seguir. Então pegue os arquivos e construa uma nova caixa para guardar suas cartas para o próximo torneio."

Model Assembled and Photo by Eatcrow2

Eatcrow2 says: - "Downloaded this from "Pillpat's" site last night, and did a quick build. Printed it out on legal size card. Spray adhesive the base on some thick stock, and doubled up the figures on 65lb card. Hit it with a couple of light coats of "Future" to seal the pastel chalk touch-ups. Colors are a little faded, but still has a nice charm to it... Fun build, and thanks to Pillpat for making it available".

Antarctic Observation Ship Soya In 1/200 Scale - by Canon


Photobucket

The Soya is a Japanese ice-strengthened cargo ship which was built in 1938. It was originally constructed as a commercial ship, but its ice durability and sonar technology prompted the Japanese army to purchase it for use as a naval ship. Following the war it was used as a repatriation ship and a lighthouse supply ship, and from 1956 to 1962 it served as an Antarctic observation ship. After passing the Antarctic torch to its successor, the Fuji, the Soya became a patrol vessel for the Japan Coast Guard. After being decommissioned, the Soya was made a permanent exhibition in front of the Museum of Maritime Science in Tokyo and remains on display there today. This paper craft is a 1:200 scale replica of the Soya at the time of her first expedition to the Antarctic. Cooperation: Museum of Maritime Science. - Canon

The Hasegawa Soya - Glory Days - 3rd Corps Antarctica Observation Ship 

O Soya é um navio quebra-gelo, de carga, japonês e foi construído em 1938. Foi originalmente projetado como um navio comercial, mas a sua resistência ao gelo e tecnologia de sonar fizeram com que fosse requisitado pelo exército japonês para utilização como um navio militar. Após a guerra ele foi usado como um navio de repatriamento e também como um navio de abastecimento de farois. Entre 1956 e1962, serviu como um navio de observação na Antártida. Depois de ser substituído na Antártida por seu sucessor, o Fuji, o Soya tornou-se um navio de patrulha da guarda costeira do Japão. Hoje, aposentado, o Soya se encontra em exposição permanente em frente ao Museu de Ciência Marítima em Tóquio. Este modelo de papel é uma réplica em escala 1:200 do Soya no momento de sua primeira expedição à Antártida. Cooperação: Museu de Ciência Marítima. - Canon

The Real Thing
Kabuto Kazari is a decoration featuring a Samurai helmet (kabuto) in the middle, with a bow and sword on both sides. During Japan's long history as a nation run by Samurai, helmets and armor were regarded as extremely important items for keeping a man safe in battle. Although they are no longer used today, they are still viewed as symbols of protection and displayed on Boys' Day to pray for a life free of accidents and illness. - Canon Japan


Kabuto Kazari é um diorama decorativo apresentando um elmo de Samurai (Kabuto), adornado por um arco e suas flechas de um lado e do outro, uma espada. Durante a longo período feudal em que o Japão foi uma terra de Samurais, elmos e armaduras eram considerados elementos importantíssimos para a segurança de um guerreiro em batalha. Apesar de não serem mais usados nos dias de hoje, els ainda são vistos como símbolos de proteção e são expostos em um lugar de destaque nas casas durante o "Dia Dos Meninos", data tradicional japonesa, como uma amuleto contra acidentes e doenças. - Canon Japan
