Halo 3 Frag Grenade Papercraft

Here is my first foray into Halo papercraft: a Halo 3 frag grenade. According to the Halo 3 Official Guide from Microsoft:

"Frag grenades are ideal to kill or disrupt large groups of low-ranking infantry (Grunts and Jackals especially), to blast an advancing horde of Combat Forms and Infection Forms, or to distract enemies as you beat a hasty retreat to cover..."

This papercraft is based on an actual 3D model from the Halo 3 video game, but I modified a couple of things to make it more reasonable as a paper model. First, I scaled the model way down to make it fit the size of an average person. The height of the finished model is 6" (15 cm) while the original 3D model size was around 8" (20 cm). Second, I lightened up the textures on the grenade because I found the original textures printed too dark and became indistinct. I may do more Halo papercraft in the future, but I have several other works in progress I want to get done first. The template for the frag grenade may be downloaded here.

Halo Papercraft: Banshee Aerial Assault Vehicle

The Banshee (also known as a Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft) is an aerial assault craft appearing in the Halo series of video games. The Banshee is part of the arsenal of the Covenant Empire which has been described as "a religious hegemony of multiple alien species". This papercraft Banshee is the work of Brandon (aka z8-0) at DeviantART and may be downloaded from his profile here. Brandon also has several other papercraft Halo vehicles available for download including a Sentinel, a Ghost, and a Wraith.

Halo Papercraft: Warthog Military Vehicle

While I was digging around James Bowen's site for the previous post I came across this papercraft from the Halo series of video games. It is a M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle, more commonly known as a "Warthog". Pretty neat, eh? This is the first Warthog paper model I have seen and with a template at only 2 pages and 30 parts, it should not be that difficult to build. The template is located here.
