These are real objects, made from cardstock and glue, printed from a PDF. The PDF’s will soon be made available to the general public so you too can build your own Boomcity.Biz logo for your desk.
I recently was surfing the web for one thing or another, and ended up on a website called Superpunch. A collection of oddities from around the web blogged about. From there I discovered papercraft. Specifically some Starwars related papercraft. I built the Millenium Falcon, R2-D2 and the TIE interceptor. The Starwars ships are like toys that can be recycled. Much better than plastic, but with less moving parts.
Then I read about someone who used the papercraft concept to create a replacement part for a speaker stand. They modelled the object in the computer and converted it into a paper craft, built and then covered it in epoxy. Plastic-like replacement part. So I decided this was cool, downloaded Sketchup and Pepakura. I’m not sure what I might use this for, but I like the concept a whole lot.
I think we may start seeing some interesting objects appear around Boomcity soon.
