I made a papercraft Castle Crasher
Edco | 12:21 AM on 09.25.2008 9 comments




Thanks to D-toider Danmartigan pointing the way, I downloaded this dude's Castle Crasher papercraft template. Considering he created it from scratch based only on a photo of someone else's template, he did a pretty good job.



Putting a fresh blade in my trusty X-Acto knife, I got to work! But there are a few awkward elements I had to find out the hard way. You may notice some differences from the original ref at the Behemoth blog. Namely the missing tabs to attach the arms (but they still magically work albeit in a different way). Also the top of the helmet is missing the radius cut marking, allowing it to concave. You just need to find the center on the back and make a mark. The width to concave happens to be one spiked tab, tho the helmet in general is fairly tricky. Just note the preceding if you attempt your own.



Papercraft is for the patient... start to finish this took me about two hours. Good old Elmer's Glue works just fine, tho it needs to be applied as thin as you can. I'd eventually like to try the original template if it shows up somewhere. If anyone else tries one, please post a link!

Holy crap dude, that's better than the originals, I'd say.

.. are the little white circles meant to go on the inside of the shoulder or something?

Nice work. If I had a printer I'd try it out myself.

Quite good indeed. I've seen some papercraft that essentially wasn't any 'craft' at all.

Nice banner as well!

 about me

Who is Super Edco?
Since back from the retro days of yore, anytime a game would let you create a character and name it yourself, I've been using EDCO. It came about as an amalgam of my own names and the fact that an unusual number of games in those days only let you use four characters.

Videogames are a big part of my life. I've been playing and making videogames just about since there was such a thing to be done. My favorite games are RPGs and action adventures, and the rest of that list is a long one indeed.
