This is a cool little paper project, a tanuki or a raccoon dog.
Paper Kraft: Shigaraki Raccoon Dog
Eclectic junk from the four corners of the ‘Net. And pictures too!
Nothing like a little isometric fun on a Saturday morning. Pixle artist Eboy has another masterpiece that you can oogle online or even buy if you want. I love these things, the level of detail is superb and you can look at it again and again and still find little hidden details that you missed the last time. Eboy even has a book of his work if you need something to sap your attention for extended periods of time. I can’t buy it or I’d end up going mad trying to make my own pixle art 24/7. If you want to try your hand at it you can start with this handy tutorial.

You can never have enough fonts. OK, I guess you can if you have to keep them loaded in memory all the time. that would be a drag. Anyway, if you ever wanted to spell something in a font from a movie, game, product, or just about anything else you can find them here. Best of all, it’s free! Cool, eh? (BTW, this goes in the ‘to be used for evil’ category just because of all the fun you could have by doctoring things like DVD covers, not that I’d suggest that of course…)

Reader Starblade sent me this one today. If I had a solid month to build this I would, the detail is intense. For example, all the structural backbone pipe work are real paper tubes that you have to roll and glue yourself.
This kit allows you to make your own holograms in your own home, even with the lights turned on! You get enough self developing plates to create 20 images so you can let your imagination go and make holograms of just about anyhing. It’s amazing just to thing that 20 years ago doing this at home required more equipment just to dampen the vibrations than parts that come in this kit to make the entire ‘gram.
