FREE paper models

My wife and I designed and built this castle so MaLu (our daughter) can play with her Polly Pocket princesses. We based our design on Disney Store’s Cinderella Castle Play Set.

We had to upscale the original one, so it could fit Polly Pocket dolls.

Pay special attention on the first picture. MaLu helped us reinforcing paper with card stock and paper towel.

This year, I was blessed with the opportunity to teach geometric solids for 2^nd grade children at the same school my daughter studies.

They are about forty 7/8yo children that surprise each time I was among them! I encouraged them to watch some buildings on the streets so they could design and assemble a city with paper models using only the solids we’ve learned together – spheres, cones, prisms, pyramids, cylinders, rectangular solids, and cubes.

This small city they created was exhibited at the school’s Science Fair and it was used as part of a lighting pollution experiment. In order to make me completely happy, the school invited me to exhibit all my paper models and to provide a paper model workshop at the Fair.

Feedback was beyond my best expectations.

Antonin Langweil created this unique paper model of Prague. The model, on a scale of 1:480, takes up an area of two-by-two metres and shows the city as it looked 150 years ago.

Langweil started his lifelong work on the 13th July 1826 on his 35th birthday. From then on he would walk around the capital and makes sketches.

After three years of hard work Langweil presented the first completed section. The public showed quite an interested in the model, which at that time included some 600 houses in the Old Town, and so Langweil, encouraged by the response, continued with the Jewish Town.
