Thanks for posting that.

 

It's weird--a few minutes before checking CGA, I thought about a papercraft sculpture I want to make. I doubt I could do anything like this guy's amazing work.

 

I had seen a mounted taxidermy head, neck and beginning of shoulders of a buffalo in a store in NY a few years ago and wanted to get it to put over my fireplace (which would go directly over my wife's dead body, she informed me). It was priced at about $3,000 I recall. I want it! So I was thinking about making it myself out of cut cardboard sections--like deer heads I saw on a design blog recently. But then I though 'papercraft'. I'll make it out of brown paper bags. Probably not like the masterpieces in your link, though.

 

There is a little software app I have somewhere that will take a 3D model and output a paper cutting flattened layout--with tabs! So I would start with a model and make the layout at full-scale.

Form-Z does it.

This guy was featured on TV recently. Not on a terestrial channels, it was on pay-per-view!
