QUICK Note to FIREFOX users
Just as a quick note, some people seem to be having an issue in Firefox with the PDF files not loading correctly and the plugin giving an error message.
For the moment, right click the file and click Save Link As to download it first and they should work fine!
I'll look into this issue some more and let you know what I find out
Create your own paper heroes. At the moment this consists mainly of X-Men, but in the future I do plan on bringing in a lot of other heroes/ pop culture figures.

Marvels Avengers: Thor
Thor
Another of the completely new models.
So, let's be honest, I think this one is probably one of the most anticipated of my Avenger Models, as he's had a lot of requests. I really do hope he's lived up to people's expectations.
The hair works in a similar way to Storms, so the sides fix to the head once the head is complete. You'll notice I've not added markers for where the arms should go on this one. It should be clear, anatomically where they go, but this way it gives the added advantage that you can stick his arm wielding his hammer up in the air instead if you'd rather.
He comes with his hammer, obviously, and also a removeable helmet to make as an added extra. He is slightly taller than all of the other Avengers tho no-where near hulk height.
The cape may seem a bit confusing at first, but I've added what instruction I can. The tabs that fit on the shoulders especially may seem a bit strange, as they stick out over the edge of the body, but once the head and arms are in place, the look right and allow the cape to have some extra width.
Any questions feel free to ask, and I'd LOVE to hear any feed back that you have!
As always, if you like them feel free to drop me a donation if you want!

Marvels Avengers : Black Widow
Black Widow
Here's the first of the completely new models. The top's done a bit differently to add a bit more too it, which looks really good on the finished model.
The most difficult part was the arms (which look different in the final model to how they do in the picture) because its SO hard getting arms in more dynamic poses to still look in proportion.. considering the entire model is so out of proportion.
I hope you like how it turned out though.
I've also included an alternate hairstyle for her Iron Man 2 look, as she did look smoking in that film and some of you might prefer this style. I've also tried to put as much instruction as I can into how all her straps and belts fix into place, but let me know if you need any clarification.
Have fun making her!

Marvels Avengers: Captain America
Captain America
On to the second of my Avengers team (or third I guess, as we've already got Iron Man further below)
Heres Captain America, updated with his Avengers uniform, which is actually a lot more complicated and detailed than it at first seemed. I actually had really mixed feelings about the hood from all the stills we were seeing, but after watching the film, it really doesn't stand out or look as funny as it did it pitctures.
Despite sharing the same body model, the whole figure has been redesigned. He even comes with two different heads, one with the mask and one without.
I'd thought about doing a removable helmet on him like Iron Man and.. err.. another model to be released ;) ... but I like the whole side parting he's got going on.

Marvels Avengers : The Hulk
The Hulk
So following on from my last post (go read it now if you haven't)
Heres the Hulk, updated to look more like his Avengers movie counterpart. It's mostly a recolour, but I've reworked the whole face and hair to look more movie styled and to tie in better with the Avenger models.
He's one of the more simpler models to make, so theres little instruction. He's also one of the largest, so although he can be made using plain A4 printing paper, if you get the chance grab some 160gm paper.. its only sliiiiiightly thicker, but enough to make building the models a bit easier.

Marvels Avengers
So, apparently there's a film coming out this week that's got a lot of comic fans excited? I wonder what that could be?...
To celebrate the launch of the Avengers movie, I've put together a couple of models for you all to enjoy that I'll be putting online over the next couple week or two. Some are older models reworked to make them more movie styled, and some models are brand new (which may or may not include a certain hero who's been on my most requested list for a while).
Iron Man, is one that I haven't updated mind, as the second costume he wears was too similar to warrant the amount of work put in at the moment, so if you've not done him yet, go back and make him now to go with your other avengers
One more thing, I've actually added a donate button to my page now, as you might have noticed. I really don't expect to make money from this blog, but if I can cover my ink, paper and hosting costs.. and maybe have enough for a drink or two, then I'll be happy, thanks :D

The (long awaited) X-Men Sentinel
X-Men Sentinel
Just when you thought it was safe to remove this page from your bookmarks... POW!
Yes, I've actually got him finished. Got him finished a week a go or so but he's needed an awful lot of instructions within the file. Let me know if any bits seem missing. I really hope you think he's worth the wait. These are the best pictures I could take of him, but Im not happy how they've turned out. IMO he looks a lot better in person.
The best way to build him is to build each module seperately, then stick them all togetehr like a sentinel shaped jigsaw puzzle. The one on the picture is using A4 paper (or thin card) so here's a look at him scaled to other models...
I really don't think the pictures do him, or especially the size of him much justice so make him yourself to see. Though if anyone actually has the ink to build a few with A3 paper stretched to fit, feel free to post pics.
He makes a nice companion to my other X-Men so far. I might build a second and put one on each side instead (I like phoenix as a centrepiece to them)
And as always... here's the link you've been waiting for so you can download and build him yourself to add to all your other models.
Download the Sentinel here
Sorry it's been QUITE so long since my last update. I'm still here, I'm still working too hard, but I'm still trying to fiT in making some more heroes into my hectic life. Hopefully my next update one will be sooner (already started on my next model).
Thanks for all sticking with me + hi to any new people out there.
As always, any comments are more than welcome and always help encourage me even more.
Enjoy building him!

Still alive
Hi,
Just thought I'd post a quick update to say I'm not dead. Thankyou for the concern though.
I've not retired either from Paper Model making, I'm just CRAZY busy with my job, working practically 8 day weeks (the fact I've had to take a few days off with exhaustion shows how bad it's been getting). I wish I could spend more time on my heroes as I miss being able to make them.
Glad there are folks over at Deviantart carrying on my legacy while I can't and love seeing what they're doing with them.
That said, I have been working on a new model recently (the said time off helped) that I hope to have up some time over the next couple of weeks. For all those wanting someone for your X-Men to fight against the next update should be right up your street ;)
Thanks for your patience + sorry about the lack of anything going on over here.

The New Mutants (Series I - Cannonball, Moonstar, Karma, Sunspot, Magik)
The New Mutants
Moonstar, Karma, Cannonball, Sunspot, Magik
AT LAST AN UPDATE!!!!!!
Really Sorry it's been a long time coming but been VERY busy at work as well as working on some other paperheroey projects (thats u Jef)
So, as you may have noticed, it isn't Nightcrawler. I am still working on him, but I want the body to be perfect before I realease him and im still not digging him entirely.
On to the Paperheroes...
Cannonball
First up I thought I'd do a variant of Cannonball in his current New Mutants costume to go with the rest of the team. Arms can be positioned up or down as you choose. The flame effect that was in the previous release is in the file, despite not being on all the promo images.
Download Cannonball here
Moonstar
Moonstar turned out pretty well. Quite a basic figure. though the hair may seem complicated, it's just the same as Jean/psylockes etc.
The dagger might be a bit fiddly but shouldn't be anything too bad.
Download Moonstar here
Karma
I'm actually really disapointed with how all the photos of Karma turned out. They really don't do the model justice, it looks a lot better in person. Her face probably took the most effort in this model as I was trying to give some characters more distinc ethnicities than any of my other models have.
Download Karma here
Sunspot
Despite the effects used, this should be a very basic figure. It's a bit of a cheap one from me, using different body parts to create a new model (Look at me, I'm Toy-Biz) but I think the whole model comes together on its own.
Download Sunspot here
Magik
I have to warn you with this one. It does get DAMN tricky with her arm+Sword. As always, I've tried to make it clear in instructions but if you have any other problems I can try posting more information to clarify anything.
All in all the sword turned out A LOT better than I thought it would so I'm pretty proud of her :)
Download Magik here
There's my team so far. I know there are a few more, ie Doug, Warlock and Wallpapergirl... i mean Magma sorry... but they will all have to wait. Have a few other models on my mind now... hopefully I'll actually get some time to do them.
Happy building!
Hope you all enjoy them as much as my other models.
Any comments welcome

Ps. Nearly half the people visiting my site are from France. I'm curious where you're all hearing about the site from?
Final note : Even moreso than usual, on the first few days after I've uploaded the videos I get a lot more traffic than my internet host is meant to have so if you have problems downloading files, clear your Cache and then try again later.
