The Scotland Yard Building - by YPS Fan Page

Here, an old model from 1970`s, generously shared by YPS Fan Page.

Aqui, um antigo modelo, de 1970, partilhado generosamente por YPS Fan Page.



The Real Thing
Scotland Yard is often used as a metonym for the Metropolitan Police Service of London, UK. It derives from the location of the original Metropolitan Police headquarters at 4 Whitehall Place, which had a rear entrance on a street called Great Scotland Yard. The Scotland Yard entrance became the public entrance to the police station. Over time, the street and the Metropolitan Police became synonymous. The New York Times wrote in 1964 that, just as Wall Street gave its name to the New York financial world, Scotland Yard did the same for police activity in London. Although the Metropolitan Police moved away from Scotland Yard in 1890, the name New Scotland Yard was adopted for the new headquarters. - Wikipedia


A Scotland Yard (também conhecida por New Scotland Yard ou Yard) é a sede central ou quartel general da Polícia Metropolitana de Londres (Metropolitan Police Service). Popularmente, o termo New Scotland Yard é usado como metonímia para designar a Polícia Metropolitana ou a polícia judiciária de Londres. O nome deriva da sua antiga localização, na Great Scotland Yard , uma rua situada em Whitehall.  A exata origem do nome é desconhecida mas, segundo uma hipótese, no local se encontrava a missão diplomática dos reis da Escócia, antes da união de 1707 entre Inglaterra e Escócia.  Outra possibilidade é que, durante o Medievo, o local pertencesse a um homem chamado Scott, ou ainda que as diligências para a Escócia saíam dessa rua .  - Wikipedia

Imaginary Train Station - by Papermau - Some Updates

Here is the Imaginary Train Station, with some changes and adds. I want to thank the friends of Paper Modelers and Zealot Forums, that give me Several ideas to this project. Some of than are very good ideas and were incorporated into the model. Other ideas were not incorporated into this model simply because it is getting very complicated, and many details that will complicate when I deploy it in Pepakura. I'm sure many textures will lose and I will have to apply almost all the textures in MsPaint, one by one. - Mauther


Eis aqui a Velha Estação de Trem Imaginária, com algumas alterações e adicionais. Quero agradecer os amigos dos foruns Paper Modelers e Zealot, que me deram várias idéias para este projeto. Algumas das idéias são muito boas e foram incorporadas ao modelo. Outras não foram incorporadas simplesmente porquê isto já está ficando muito complicado, com muitos detalhes que vão atrapalhar quando eu for "desdobrar" no Pepakura. Tenho certeza que muitas texturas vão se perder e eu vou ter de aplicar quase todas (as texturas) no MsPaint,novamente, uma por uma. - Mauther

Walking Mech Warrior Paper Model Automata - by J.Hodgie

Photobucket

A paper Mech Warrior made to appear to walk when a crank is turned. This model is designed after the Madcat/Timberwolf type from the video games.
This is my first attempt at designing my own papercraft automation. It was inspired by an addiction to the Mech Warrior video games and was originally a birthday gift for someone similarly addicted.
There are two options for downloading. the first is a template I have coloured and the second is blank template for people inspired to make their own. If you would like the Photoshop, SVG or just about any CAD file type, just let me know and I will upload them. - J.Hodgie

Recriation Of A Small Medieval Village

Village Life In The Middle Ages 

The peasants, including serfs, freeman and villeins, on a manor lived close together in one or more villages. Their small, thatch-roofed, and one-roomed houses would be grouped about an open space (the "green"), or on both sides of a single, narrow street. The only important buildings were the parish church, the parsonage, a mill, if a stream ran through the manor, and possibly a blacksmith's shop. The population of one of these villages often did not often exceed one hundred people. - middle-ages.org.uk


A Vida Em Umm Vilarejo Na Idade Média

Os camponeses, incluindo os servos, os homens livres e os e locais, viviam juntos em uma ou mais aldeias. Suas pequenas casas, com telhados de palha, na maioria das vezes com um único cômodo, agrupavam-se em uma área aberta aberto, ou descampado (o "verde"), ou em ambos os lados de uma única rua estreita. Os únicos edifícios importantes eram a igreja paroquial, o presbitério, um moinho, sempre próximo a um rio, e, possivelmente, um ferreiro. A população de uma aldeia típica dessa época, raramente passava de uma centena de pessoas. - middle-ages.org.uk

Tokyo Geisha With,  1870
Geisha , Geiko or Geigi  are traditional, female Japanese entertainers whose skills include performing various Japanese arts such as classical music and dance. Apprentice geisha are called maiko , literally "dance child" or hangyoku , "half-jewel" (meaning that they are paid half of the wage of a full geisha), or by the more generic term o-shaku , literally "one who pours (alcohol)".  The white make-up and elaborate kimono and hair of a maiko is the popular image held of geisha. A woman entering the geisha community does not have to begin as a maiko, having the opportunity to begin her career as a full geisha. Either way, however, usually a year's training is involved before debuting either as a maiko or as a geisha. A woman above 21 is considered too old to be a maiko and becomes a full geisha upon her initiation into the geisha community. However, those who do go through the maiko stage can enjoy more prestige later in their professional lives. The only modern maiko that can apprentice before the age of eighteen are in Kyoto. So on average, Tokyo hangyoku (who typically begin at 18) are slightly older than their Kyoto counterparts (who usually start at 15).  Historically, geisha often began the earliest stages of their training at a very young age, sometimes as early as at 3 or 5 years. The early shikomi (servant) and minarai (watching apprentice) stages of geisha training lasted years, which is significantly longer than in contemporary times.


It is still said that geisha inhabit a separate reality which they call the karyūkai or "the flower and willow world." Before they disappeared the courtesans were the colorful "flowers" and the geisha the "willows" because of their subtlety, strength, and grace. - Wikipedia

A Maiko And A Geiko Hosting Tea Ceremony.
Gueixa, ou Gueigi são mulheres japonesas que estudam a tradição milenar da arte da sedução, dança e canto, e se caracterizam distintamente pelos trajes e maquiagem tradicionais. Contrariamente à opinião popular, as gueixas não são um equivalente oriental da prostituta. Elas não trabalham com sexo. Podem chegar a flertar, mas seus clientes sabem que não irá passar disso, e esse é o fato que muitos homens se encantam com a cultura de uma gueixa. No Japão a condição de Gueixa é cultural, simbólica e  repleta de status, delicadeza e tradição. São em muitos aspectos similares às Kisaeng coreanas. O termo geiko  é também usado no dialeto de Quioto para descrever as gueixas, especialmente no bairro Hanamachi. Ao contrário do que se verificava nos séculos XVIII e XIX, as gueixas são atualmente em número bastante  reduzido.  Maiko  é o termo utilizado para designar uma gueixa aprendiz. O elegante  ambiente de alta cultura do qual a gueixa faz parte é chamado karyūkai , ou "o mundo da flor e salgueiro".  Uma gueixa famosa, Mineko Iwasaki, disse que isso é porque "a gueixa é como uma flor, bela em seu próprio estilo, e como um salgueiro, graciosa, flexível, e forte."  - Wikipedia

Halloween Special - Papercraft Skull #1: Half-Life - by Tektonten

More one nice model from Tektonten:

For my Halloween papercraft project this year I decided to do a series of video game skulls. The first one up is a skull from the Half-Life 1 video game. This skull can be seen at various places in the game as you proceed from one level to another. I tried to size the skull to be 1:1 scale, but as I am no anatomy expert, the size is at best an approximation. - Tektonten
