Chinese Dragon Papercraft - by Tina Kraus - Dragão Chinês

This beautiful traditional Chinese dragon in five different colors was created by German designer Tina Kraus from the website Faltmanufaktur to celebrate the Year of the Dragon 2012 and published here on the blog in the same year, but as we are entering 2024 which will be the Year of the Wooden Dragon, I am republishing the model, with a revised link and updated photos. 

In Chinese astrology, the Year of the Dragon is considered a powerful and auspicious year. People born in this year are seen as charismatic, courageous, and possess a unique energy. 

It's a year associated with luck, prosperity, and success, but it can also bring intense challenges due to the impulsive and energetic nature of the Dragon. 

The Dragon is an auspicious symbol in Chinese culture, associated with luck, power, and nobility. Individuals born under this sign are often regarded as fearless and confident. 

The Year of the Dragon occurs every 12 years in the Chinese zodiac cycle, making it one of the rarest signs. Due to this rarity, children born in the Year of the Dragon are often seen as special and endowed with great potential. 

People born in the Year of the Dragon are known for their magnetic personality and leadership abilities. However, they can also be temperamental and stubborn, always striving to accomplish great feats.

Este belo dragão tradicional chinês em cinco cores diferentes foi criado pela designer alemã Tina Kraus do site Faltmanufaktur para celebrar o Ano do Dragão de 2012 e publicado aqui no blog neste mesmo ano, mas como estamos entrando em 2024 que será o Ano do Dragão de Madeira, estou republicando o modelo, com link revisado e fotos atualizadas. 

Na astrologia chinesa, o ano do Dragão é considerado um ano poderoso e auspicioso. As pessoas nascidas neste ano são consideradas carismáticas, corajosas e têm uma energia única. 

É um ano associado à sorte, à prosperidade e ao sucesso, mas também pode trazer desafios intensos devido à natureza impulsiva e enérgica do Dragão. 

O Dragão é um símbolo auspicioso na cultura chinesa, associado à sorte, ao poder e à nobreza. As pessoas nascidas sob este signo são frequentemente consideradas destemidas e confiantes. 

O ano do Dragão ocorre a cada 12 anos no ciclo chinês, tornando-o um dos signos mais raros. Devido a essa raridade, as crianças nascidas no ano do Dragão são frequentemente vistas como especiais e dotadas de grande potencial. 

As pessoas nascidas no ano do Dragão são conhecidas por sua personalidade magnética e habilidades de liderança. No entanto, também podem ser temperamentais e teimosas, buscando sempre realizar grandes feitos.

I was unable to find much information on this Batman papercraft I came across. It looks like it may have been modeled after one of the Batman animated TV series from the 1990's, but whether it was created from scratch or from a video game 3D model... - Read more and download the model at Tektonten`s page, at the link below:

Eu não consegui muita informação sobre este papercraft do Batman, que achei na net.

Moai Statues of Easter Island, Chile - by Canon - Estátuas Moai

The Real Things
Moai are monolithic human figures carved from rock on the Chilean Polynesian island of Easter Island between the years 1250 and 1500. Nearly half are still at Rano Raraku, the main moai quarry, but hundreds were transported from there and set on stone platforms called ahu around the island's perimeter. Almost all moai have overly large heads three-fifths the size of their bodies. The moai are chiefly the living faces (aringa ora) of deified ancestors (aringa ora ata tepuna). The statues still gazed inland across their clan lands when Europeans first visited the island, but most would be cast down during later conflicts between clans. The production and transportation of the 887 statues are considered remarkable creative and physical feats. The tallest moai erected, called Paro, was almost 10 metres (33 ft) high and weighed 82 tons; the heaviest erected was a shorter but squatter moai at Ahu Tongariki, weighing 86 tons; and one unfinished sculpture, if completed, would have been approximately 21 metres (69 ft) tall with a weight of about 270 tons. - Wikipedia


PhotobucketMoai é o nome que designa as mais de 887 estátuas gigantescas de pedra espalhadas pela Ilha de Páscoa, no Chile. Construídas por volta de 1200 d.C. a 1500 d.C. pelo povo Rapanui. Os moais, cujas cabeças ostentam "pukaos" - cilindros de pedra vermelha pesando até doze toneladas, possivelmente representando um cocar de penas vermelhas - representam, de modo estilizado, um torso humano masculino de orelhas longas, sem pernas. Em sua maioria, medem entre 4,5 a 6 metros de comprimento e pesam entre 1 a 27 toneladas. A maior delas, entretanto, tem mais de 20 metros de altura. Segundo a teoria mais aceita sobre a ilha, os moais teriam sido erguidos pelos primeiros habitantes, os "Rapanui", como uma homenagem aos líderes mortos, o que explicaria o fato de estarem todas de costas para o mar, ou seja, de frente para o interior da ilha onde ficavam as aldeias. A Ilha de Páscoa é um dos lugares habitados mais isolados do mundo: são 118 km² de terra no sudoeste do oceano pacífico, 1.600 km a leste da ilha de Pitcairn e 3.700 km a oeste do Chile. O holandês Jacob Roggeveen foi o primeiro ocidental a visitar o lugar, em 5 de abril de 1722.
Encontrou polinésios e nativos de "pele clara e cabelos vermelhos", que moravam em cabanas feitas de colmo e subsistiam da escassa vegetação. Em 1956, uma outra expedição, comandada pelo norueguês Thor Heyerdahl, descobriu milhares de ferramentas usadas na execução das estátuas. Em 2008, um turista finlandês lascou um pedaço da orelha de um moai. O turista foi multado em 17.000 dólares por danos e foi banido da ilha por três anos. - Wikipedia

WW2 German Tank Panzerkampfwagen V Panther Ausf G - by Paper Hobby


Photobucket


PhotobucketThe Panther I Ausf G was the final version of the Panther to enter production during the Second World War, and was produced in larger numbers than the previous two versions combined. The production of the Ausf G began in March 1944, and although the high production targets were never met at least 300 tanks were accepted in every remaining month of 1944 apart from October and December. The Ausf G was by far the most common version by the end of 1944, by which time the Panther accounted for over half of the entire German tank force. - historyofwar.org
