Matsuyama Castle Paper Model - by Yoshinaka & STpers

The Real Thing

Created by Japanese designers Yoshinaka and STpers, comissioned by Canon website, here is a beautiful paper model version of the Matsuyama Castle, in Japan. Matsuyama Castle is a flatland-mountain castle that was built in 1603 on Mount Katsuyama, whose height is 132 meters, in Matsuyama city in Ehime Prefecture. This castle was originally built by Kato Yoshiaki in 1603. It had a large five-story tenshu, or keep, which was moved to Aizu Castle when Kato was transferred there in 1627. The next lord, Tadachika Gamoh, died in 1635, shortly after completing the ninomaru. After Tadachika, Matsudaira Sadayuki became the new lord. He completed a new Castle Tower (tenshu) in 1642. His heirs continued to rule the castle after his death. However, on New Years Day, 1784, this Castle Tower (tenshu) was struck by lightning and burned down. The current Castle Tower (tenshu) was built between 1820 and 1854. The castle survived the Meiji restoration, but parts of it were destroyed by bombing from American forces during World War II. Since 1966, the city of Matsuyama has been working to restore the castle.

Criada pelos designers japoneses Yoshinaka e STpers para o site da Canon, eis aqui uma bela versão em papel do Castelo de Matsuyama, no Japão. O Castelo de Matsuyama, também conhecido por Castelo de Katsuyama e Castelo Kinki, é um castelo construído no Monte Katsuyama com vista para a área central da cidade de Matsuyama. Foi construído em 1603 por Kato Ashiaki. Devido ao grande número de portões, cercas, paredes de pedra escarpada e vales, é comummente considerado um excelente castelo tanto do ponto de vista ofensivo como defensivo.

Dinosaurs - A Triceratops Paper Model - by Yoshihiro Suzuki

Artistic Interpretation Of A Triceratops

Triceratops is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur which lived during the late Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous Period, around 68 to 65 million years ago (Mya) in what is now North America. It was one of the last dinosaur genera to appear before the great Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. The term Triceratops, which literally means "three-horned face," is derived from the Greek τρί- (tri-) meaning "three", κέρας (kéras) meaning "horn", and ὤψ (ops) meaning "face". Bearing a large bony frill and three horns on its large four-legged body, and conjuring similarities with the modern rhinoceros, Triceratops is one of the most recognizable of all dinosaurs and the best known ceratopsid. It shared the landscape with and was preyed upon by the fearsome Tyrannosaurus, though it is less certain that the two did battle in the manner often depicted in traditional museum displays and popular images. - Wikipedia

Triceratops Skeleton

O tricerátopo (Triceratops horridus, do latim "cabeça com três chifres") foi um tipo de dinossauro herbívoro e quadrúpede que viveu no fim do período Cretáceo, principalmente na região que é hoje a América do Norte. O tricerátopo possuía enormes chifres e, ao que se sabe, foi o maior de todos os dinossauros com essa característica, media em torno de 9 metros de comprimento, 3 metros de altura e pesava em torno de 6 toneladas. A descoberta do primeiro crânio de tricerátopo ocorreu em 1888 em Denver, no estado americano do Colorado. Já em 1889, um ano após a descoberta, Othniel Charles Marsh fez a nomeação oficial da espécie. É um dos dinossauros mais conhecidos do público, tendo aparecido no filme Jurassic Park de Steven Spielberg. Nos Estados Unidos, é um dos símbolos oficiais do Wyoming.
Há indícios que, na verdade, o tricerátopo seja a versão jovem do torossauro, porém ainda não há provas irrefutáveis. - Wikipedia

A Power House Paper Model In 1/72 Scale - by Projekt Bastelbogen

This Power House paper model in 1/72 scale was created by my friend from Germany, the designer and engineer Boris Voigt, from Projekt Bastelbogen, educative website. 

Boris said that this type of construction is something rare to be found in Germany nowadays, as the power lines are now buried in the ground. 

I think it will be useful for Train Sets, Dioramas, RPG and Wargames. You will find many more great paper models there, Like the ones in the last image of this post.

Valentine`s Day Meets Halloween Special - Skull Valentine's Candy Boxby Ravensblight

Ray O`Bannon, from Ravensblight website, the North American designer of this nice Skull Valentine's Candy Box paper model, says: - "If you're particularly fond of someone, it's always a charming gesture to offer them a heart shaped box of chocolates. It doesn't even need to be Valentine's day. And this is the ideal box if your heart is a bit dark and spikey. Or if their heart is dark and spikey. Or if BOTH your hearts are dark and spikey (in which case you'll probably do really well together).

Ray O`Bannon, do site Ravensblight, o designer norte americano deste modelo de papel de uma Caixinha de Presentes de Caveira para o Dia dos Namorados, diz: Se você gosta de alguém em especial, é sempre um gesto de carinho oferecer-lhe uma caixa de bombons em forma de coração. Nem é preciso ser Dia dos Namorados. E esta é a caixa ideal se o seu coração é um pouco obscurecido e espinhoso. Ou se o coração dela é. Ou se os corações de ambos são obscuros espinhosos (aí as pessoas devem dizer que você formam um belo casal).

Papermau Is Now Using Sketchfab To Create Manipulable 3D Models

I recently got to know this website called Sketchfab, which allows me to transform my Sketchup and Pepakura creations into 3D models that can be easily viewed and manipulated without the need to install any kind of program. With Sketchfab I can transpose the templates directly to my blog and you can rotate, zoom in and see each one in detail. An example can be seen above: just click with the mouse and with the right and left buttons you control spin and approach. I found this genius and I intend to use a lot here in the blog.
