Papercraft Friday #97: LEGO Minifig

We have LEGO on the brain around here after last weekend’s fun at the Summer Tour, so I thought I’d see what I could find by way of LEGO papercraft.  I found what looks like a good model of the classic minifig, though there was no picture of a completed model.  There are no instructions…

We have LEGO on the brain around here after last weekend’s fun at the Summer Tour, so I thought I’d see what I could find by way of LEGO papercraft.  I found what looks like a good model of the classic minifig, though there was no picture of a completed model.  There are no instructions either, for that matter.  I may just print this out myself and take my own completed photo.  If you beat me to it, send me a pic and I’ll add it to this post and credit you for it.  Download all 4 sheets of the model here.

Not keen on this one?  Want more?  Check out other Papercraft Friday posts.

    Hey, so I’m trying to build this and I’m a little baffled as to what some of the pieces are–mainly the big black thing. Also, I can’t work out how to finish the head–seems like there’s a bit missing. Or is the black thing some sort of hat? Anyway, if you happen to have a pic of this done I’d love it if you could share it with me. I’m struggling! 🙂

    I haven’t built this one yet, although it’s definitely on the list. I looked at the sheets for quite awhile to see if it was build-able back when I posted it, and I recall puzzling over the black piece as well, and came to the same conclusion that it must be a hat. Given that the top of the head above the face is straight and doesn’t taper up, something has to sit on top. I’d love to see pics of it completed if you are able to puzzle it out.

    Still working on it, but here’s a pic of the head. I decided it was a hat:

    I have all the parts done except for one arm. I’ll let you know if/when I finish that arm and work out how to make all the parts go together. I don’t fully get how that’s supposed to happen. It looks like they forgot cylinder-type parts for the limbs to hang on, maybe? Or maybe I’m supposed to fold the tiny tabs out and into the limb sockets? Geh… so vague.

    Anyway, it’s been a tough one. I’m no papercraft master or anything, but I blew through about a half-a-roll of scotch tape to make it work and even still it’s kinda lousy looking. 😦

    Still, it’s been a fun challenge 🙂

    It is a little tricky to assemble this model minifig, without instructions. In my case I better make my own version, with race helmet.
