Got nimble fingers that can fold, cut, and shape a simple sheet of paper into something that will make people go “Wow!”? I sure don’t, but that does not mean I cannot appreciate the art of papercraft, which I seem to be seeing a lot these days. Just very recently, I shared what is being dubbed as the future of food: papercraft hamburger.
Today, I found something even more fascinating: a collection of geeky papercraft. These works of folded paper can be credited to ~homestah of DeviantArt, who seems to have a propensity for fiddling with paper to create gifts for friends. I wish I were his friend!
First up, we have a giraffe. Okay, it might not really be considered geeky papercraft by some, but it is still pretty impressive, isn’t it?
Giraffe Papercraft
This is the piece that actually caught my attention.
Dragonite Papercraft
It’s a cute little dragon – a little too cute for my personal preferences, actually, but I still like it! Unfortunately, the friend who got this geeky papercraft piece doesn’t have it anymore as his dog tore it to pieces. :S
Another dragon, which comes from that wonderful animated movie I can watch over and over and over again!1
Nightfury Papercraft
This is from Howl’s Moving Castle, a Japanese animation movie which I have not seen, but of all the geeky papercraft pieces in this post, I think this one is the most striking.

Agree or not?
Anime enthusiasts will also love this geeky papercraft rendition of Inuyasha. Again, ~homestah made this one for a friend’s birthday. What a lucky girl!

I saved the best (for me) for last.
BSG Viper Papercraft
Miss BSG? Get the Battlestar Galactica Series Bible for some reading material.
