Despite a background in architecture, he began his career as a graphic designer for a printing company in 2001. Having co-founded two small graphic design companies he now fully works as a papercraft artist and an online publisher. Paper modeling is his hobby since he was a kid back in 1992.

Saturn V Rocket and Launch Pad Paper Model 27 February 2014 Julius Perdana Space On July 20th 1969, this massive machine blasted out to the blue sky and entering mankind to a whole new level. This rocket Saturn V SA-506 was used to propelled 3 brave men to the space and finally stepped their feet on moon's soil accomplished their Apollo mission, the 11th mission. They are Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr. Saturn V was continue to be use to bring many astronauts to the moon until 5th times on Apollo 17 mission in 1972. Saturn V services ended in 1973 after accomplished Skylab program. The reason I made this model is because it's quite simple model. The complete model will be around 40 cm in height, the scale is 1:300. The template contains 9 pages of patterns.

So here it is, this paper model templates is ready for download and build. I made in 1/100 scale, the complete model will be 42.7 cm wingspan. Because it's relatively small it doesn't have shape formers, but like other airliner series it still use inner glue tabs. I designed the templates for easier build, so you won't find Dr. Zarkov's kind of model here.

Rosetta Philae Comet Lander Paper Model Julius Perdana I feel excited when I read that scientists from European and US managed to land a lander on the surface of a comet that was currently wandering the space in 135,000 km/h speed. The comet is named 67P. It took 10 years (2004-2014) to intercept this comet before the mothership Rosetta finally managed to release the Philae lander to the comet's surface. Mothership Rosetta continues to orbit the comet until now. Before it's entering hibernation mode, its sensor could detect the presence of organism molecules and took some pictures. Currently Philae is not in operation.

    Journal for Geometry and Graphics Volume 4 (2000), No. 1, 99{107. Design Procedure on a Newly Developed Paper Craft Takahiro Yonemura, Sadahiko Nagae Department of Electronic System and Information Engineering, Faculty of Biology-Oriented Science and Technology, Kinki University Nishimitani 930, Uchida-cho, Naga-Gun, Wakayama, 649-6439 Japan email: [email protected] Abstract. Personal computers are now rapidly di®using into public facilities as well as educational organizations and common families. To let variety of user groups handle software with ease, it is an urgent business and an essential factor to develop a digital society as well as to construct a human-friendly environment for operation. This article describes a method to e®ectively fabricate various formative models by means of paper craft and suggests an example of educational tools with which everybody can explore the environment to be acquainted with computer and joy of creation during enjoyment. Key Words: Paper craft, paper folding, modelling software, gesture interface MSC 1994: 51N05, 00A35, 68N99. 1. Introduction It is not too much to say that Japanese culture has progressed along with its use of paper. It is obvious when we see from examples that fusumas and shojis have frequently been used for Japanese architectures and are still in use. Such paper culture has not only made use of paper in practical applications but also has created various articles of folk craft with entertaining factors. What can be regarded as a representative class of Japanese paper use is origami as this is familiar to people without distinction of age or sex for many years.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
