Boba Fett! and online ETSY page! YAY!

My store is online! I am 100 percent virtual now. It seems I still do not have any followers, but I have gotten Northwest Papercraft on Facebook, Twitter, and even started an Etsy page! I know what all of you are going to say, "Papercraft is free! anyone can download it! your selling hard work of others for your profit!"

I say NAY! If you look at my page, I am selling completed MODELS that I have created. I will be doing commissions for fans of my work and I will sign and keep track of all of my models. I want my creations to go to a good home and printer ink and paper is not cheap. When I put a model up for sale, I will link in the description to the original source and NEVER take credit for design and implementation of these great pieces of art. 

On to the models! 

We got Boba Fett! The greatest bounty hunter ever who happened to have a string of bad luck when some random malfunction of his jet pack sent him into the gaping maw of a Sarlack. (Han shot first!). 

One of the most sought after models at my desk at work, the Star Wars nerds eat him up with the realism of the armor and his gun. This was one of the first few models I made and to this day it still looks awesome!

He did undergo experimentation with my lamination techniques and so some of his helmet is a little caved in, I worked hard to not have him look blockie, so none of the lines were folded. 

His model can be found HERE

It's a bird! It's a Plane It's Superman!

One of my co-workers commissioned me to make her a superman model. I found one Here. this one was interesting. I had to re-print his hands a few times.

I created a stand for him as well, but I ended up modifying it because to hold him up, I needed to put it in his groin.

Anyway here is the finished picture.


The base is nice, but it takes up a lot of room. 

This is one of the first few that I've attempted any kind of resin. the back cape is double sided glued and moved into position. He looks great after the coat and the colors are not dull.

Back from long respite.

Hello and welcome back from my sabbatical. I've not given up with my papercraft and I've gotten some exciting new builds for you. One of my co-workers was such a fan of my work that he bought the lovely Morgan sisters from Dark Stalkers!


He is very happy with his works!
You can get Morrigan and Lillith: Here
The original post is found: Here, but the original poster is no longer available. 

for an update, Unfortunately, Spider-man and Venom have succumbed to the ravages of experimentation. Currently I'm working on a way to seal and make these papercrafts withstand the test of time. I'm very close to perfecting the technique.
