Fallout 3: Bottlecap Mine

Bottlecap Mine, a Fallout 3 weapon made out of a Vault-Tec Lunchbox, a sensor module, a cherry bomb and a handful of bottlecaps. Very powerful and also suitable for overkills in The Shady Sands Shuffle style.

Build notes:
This one requires a little more than just papercraft skill, as it needs wire for several of its parts (handle, antenna, colored wires). The best kind is a 1mm wide aluminium wire, for the colored ones it's slightly thicker.
It's good to build the main parts (lunchbox, sensor module, handle), then wrap them by the duct tape and finally add the details. The handle holders should be a little longer than what's in the model, otherwise you might have trouble getting your hand under the handle. And don't forget to reinforce it.

Height: 243mm (with antenna)
Difficulty: 7/10

Download: Mediafire
Included are lined and lineless PDOs, also a set with outline padding.

TESLA 427A Poezia

A 1962 radio receiver manufactured by TESLA, a Czech electronics company. I have a fondness of older electronics and I felt like making one. Designed this from the scratch. The model is entirely mine. Textures were created from photos, courtesy of the receiver's owner, Padza.

Build notes:
This papercraft is relatively easy and should look good with some reinforcing of the biggest areas. I recommend completing the front and back parts separately, then connect them using the side and top parts. Finally, close it up with the bottom piece.

Skyrim: Glass Sword

Glass sword, one of typical weapons from TES games, now available in this plane of Oblivion as well.

Build notes:
This took a bit too long to finish. Partly because I was being careful with it, and it paid off. Word of warning: this model is complex and requires precision, patience and precision. I didn't find it in me to forsake all the details - but be assured I tried to bring down the polygon count a bit, including fixing some really awful errors in the texture and the model itself. Don't try to build this without having a good bit of experience.

Morrowind: Glass Halberd


Built and photos provided by A5G_Reaper who this design was made for.

A glass halberd, actually influenced by the Spear skill, and surprisingly, has a much higher damage to thrust than it does to slash.

Now I haven't built this. I was asked to make this template by someone in the comments and I felt like it at the time. The handle seems like a challenge though. If anyone decides to build it, please link me a photo in the comments and I'll upload it here and credit you. I personally have little interest in building it.

Fallout 3: Combat Knife

A very fast melee weapon, which is only second to Sledgehammer, as far as I'm concerned. While not excessively interesting, I made this model because I felt like it and thought it looked good. That and I've always wanted to have this kind of knife and this is the more creative way of going about it.

As for the building itself, nothing really hard about it except the serrated part, which is relatively complex yet tiny. You should use piece of thick cardboard to glue the two sides of the blade together, otherwise it will be too thick. See the top part of the guard for measure.

Morrowind: Glass Longsword

My favorite weapon in Morrowind. Whether my main skill is Long Blades or not, I tend to keep one handy. This one took dozens of hours in Blender, mainly because I had to restart the work once. The model was a bit difficult to work with.

It's somewhat easier to build, but hard to build right. The template has some tough parts, but it seemed like the best way to do it. If you come up with something better, let me know in the comments.
Also it's pretty large. Unless you want it to bend in half and ruin itself, you should use cardboard to reinforce it as a whole.

Skyrim: Skeleton Key

A Daedric artifact of Nocturnal. The Key is said to be able to unlock any lock. Can even unlock hidden potential within you.

This one's harder. Harder because of small parts (I tried hard to have it in its original size, so it looks more like a lockpick and less like a keyblade) and because of some difficult shapes. Patience and light touch needed. If you can't handle small parts and a lot of fiddling, sorry, but this isn't for you.

Height: 200mm
Difficulty: 7/10 (Relatively hard)

Included are lined and lineless PDOs and PDFs of them. Also lined and lineless PDOs and PDFs with something I was experimenting with, that is Outline Padding. Needs a higher resolution printer because of thin lines, but the result looks better.

Morrowind: Daedric Dagger

A quicker project. I made it because it didn't require too much tinkering yet looked good. It also complements Skyrim's daedric dagger that was made before.

Height: 425mm
Difficulty: 4/10 (Medium)
Reinforcing by cardboard or similar is recommended.

Morrowind: all five potions

This was my first papercraft project. I wanted something simple, so I could gain experience without too much frustration usually associated with more complex projects. I built only the last two, because those other three don't look that good and it's pretty much the same template with slightly different shapes.

The sizes are 16,18,16,15 and 18 centimeters, from left to right. Resized to a more reasonable height, because the original in-game potions were gigantic. There are two versions of each - lined and lineless. You will need Pepakura Viewer (free) to view and print the templates.
