DragonBall Z papercraft (Paper models) available for free!

[terminator101]

Attention all Z Fighters/Z Warriors (DragonBall Z fans) out there! During my travels searching for the Dragon Balls (Just kidding!), I came across some fantastic DragonBall Z papercraft patterns that you can use to create 3D paper models of your favorite DragonBall Z characters! Just download the patterns (Already colored and illustrated with details), print them out (On the shiny side of some poster board paper using an ink jet printer - Do not use a laser printer as those do not work well with thick paper like poster board. Also, you might damage your laser printer's paper feeder! See the fourth and fifth posts in -> https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewto...?f=11&t=100001), carefully cut them out (With a pair of scissors) and then assemble the papercraft (With all purpose glue, if required) to form each papercraft. Enjoy~!



Note: I will try to update this thread in the future with more paper model patterns for the other characters as soon as I can find them. Any feedback (Questions, suggestions, comments [eg. - Let me know about any dead download links so that I can try to find alternate sources for download links] or even a "Thanks for sharing!" post) in this thread and/or in the other papercraft threads would be appreciated and possibly helpful in determining which characters may appear sooner than others in subsequent posts (Let me know here which characters you would like to see posted sooner and I'll see what I can do - No guarantees or promises though as I have to try to find them beforehand. Remember, feedback as well as occasional updates help to keep threads alive!

Some archives only have .pdo (Pepakura Designer Object) source files and no Adobe Acrobat .pdf files inside of them (In a .pdf file, the papercraft pattern will automatically appear in its actual size). The functionality to directly print out papercraft patterns was not built into the Pepakura software. Thus, a .pdo file must be converted into a .pdf file for printing. In order to convert a .pdo file into a .pdf, you need to:

1. Download the free to use, Pepakura Viewer that is bundled with the Pepakura Designer (Not free to use. You need to buy a key to unlock all of its useful features if you want to create papercraft patterns.) at -> https://tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/download/index.html.
2. Install the bundled software (Both the Designer and the Viewer will be installed).
3. Start the Pepakura Viewer and then open the .pdo file (Note: Double clicking on the .pdo file will open it with the Designer by default).
4. In the Pepakura Viewer menu, select "File" -> "Print to PDF ..." to create a .pdf file from the .pdo file.

Bonus: I found a very interesting thread on GameSpot about "The 4 levels of DBZ fandom" that covers fandom for the anime, manga and video games (See -> here).
