Working Papercraft V8 Engine

Working papercraft v-8 engine

This is a [fantastic model of a V8 engine](http://www.yeesjob.com/v8engine.htm), made almost entirely from paper – except for “a motor, a battery holder, a few plastic tubes and electrical wires”.

> Handcrafted with ruler, white glue and X-acto knife. It took approximately one year to design and construct.

Fantastic work here, it’s an amazing functional work of art. There’s even a DIY kit in the works if you’d like to make your own.

More pictures and videos are [available at the maker’s site](http://www.yeesjob.com/v8engine.htm).

Excellent paper robots

The Readymech site has several PDFs of simple papercraft models that you can download and print off.

Some are more complicated than others, but they all look really good when assembled, and are fun to make.

Skeletron papercraft robot

The skeletron model is one of the simplest, but there is still good attention to detail, with an inner box that continues the design from the outside.
