Left 4 Dead fans, get your folding skills ready for The Tank papercraft photo

I've seen some papercraft in my day, ranging from deliciously simple to complex beyond belief, so I'm at this point where I can just kind of glance at a model and know what it will take to go into it. One look at The Tank above from Left 4 Dead, and I feel pretty much assured that'd I'd be more likely to slit my wrists with the Exacto than I would to actually make my version look anything like what you see above.

I'm sure not all of you have meat hands like I do, though, so if you'd like to give it a shot, you can download the PDF here.

Looks like it belongs in a Nintendo DS game or something.

Wow. Most people would just throw it away instead of taking the extreme way out. Just wait till you see the papercraft witch with individual fingers.

heh, I think I could do that, I tried my hand at papercraft a few times (all atempts failed though) but this one doesn't look too hard. Anyways, go for it Colette, the only way to find out if you can do it is if you try!

Every time anybody posts a papercraft model anywhere, they always joke about how they have meat hands or no artistic skill or what have you, but a model like this seriously isn't that hard. If you want to try making it, really, go for it. It takes 20 minutes and you might be surprised at how easy it is.

Professor Pew just had a brilliant idea. I want to see the results!

Imagining Colette with literal meat hands is deliciously funny.

I glanced at this and thought it was a Colossus. Papercraft always had me really frustrated (the one time I tried it). I'm not good at crafty things :(

You don't have meat hands :) I think this is quite an advanced papercraft right?

Aww, I saw the picture and thought it was screenshots for a Wii version of L4D.

Slit your wrists? You need to stop listening to The Spill Canvas.

This just makes me yearn for a papercraft/celshaded mod. I'm glad I got the Valve Complete pack during the sale.

Dat's a lot of folds without real corners! Probably one of the hardest things to do in papercraft imo.

I'm a huge fan of anything horror in general but I seem to be one of the few people in my circle of friends that hate left4dead. I don't know...I just don't like it at all lol.
