Not actually furry stuff, unless you count Chewbacca (who is just outside the frame, lol), but the latest done (ok, actually a few Pokemon, but I don't have their pix handy). Paper engineering is pretty cool stuff.

You can easily download them.
A lot of stuff can be found through Pinterest. I started looking because we are doing a lot of STEM stuff for the
library this summer, and I thought paper engineering was very cool (and cheap). There are zillions of things for free, and through
assorted groups, at various levels of complexity. The AT-AT is very neat because you can make it as a statue or as a mobile
(walking) mechanism (I did the mobile version). Many plans are either stationary or paper-engineering mobile. The stormtrooper
is mobile (though I glued most of it down) and the R2D2 I just made (not shown, I think) is also mobile.
The Millenium Falcon was complicated only because I had no instructions, parts were very small...
but I finally found a Youtube video on how someone else put it together so I could finish it. He added functional lights and stuff to his.
Then I discovered there are numerous
knock-out projects for free...a lot of things are done through a software program called Pepakura. If you have the hardware,
you can actually 3D scan any object, upload the file, run it through the software and create your own plans to do a paper
sculpture. It's far-out. Anyway if you aren't that far along, the papercrafters have many plans online for free, and
you can download Pepakura and open the free plans, which have the benefit of showing you how to put things together.
You buy the program if you want to make your own, but it is free if you just want to open a file. I did this to see a full-size version
of a Darth Vader helmet.
There are all kinds of designs from machinery to animation characters, just google "papercraft." Or "pepakura gallery" for an idea
of what is out there. The MF is "papercraft millenium falcon weathering" and you can find zillions of troopers under "papercraft stormtrooper."
Give "papercraft my little pony" a try, if that's your thing, lol. I made a few Pokemon in order to lure in kids for a Pokemon
drawing class, but the ones I did are too complicated for a kid class. I may find some kiddy-worthy ones; the cubee versions of
characters are generally very simple and still fun.
Yes, it's all time-consuming because of glue-drying speeds, but the results are pretty nifty.

No, I didn't design these, but I have done this all my life.
I got taken out of 2nd grade by the principal in order to
decorate the school's entry bulletin board for Rodeo Month
(Feb./Tucson) simply because they saw me making 3d
horses during art time...as a kid I had paper and pencils and
little else, so I learned to make a lot of toys outta paper very early.
Made a working airplane I saw on TV when I was 4.
It isn't hard, just takes patience.
