Hey, creators! Ready to craft something iconic today?
Lately, I’ve been quite busy, so there haven’t been many new posts this month (even though I’ve prepared lots of exciting projects to share with you). But today, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share a delightful surprise from PlayStation for fans of Astro Bot and Ape Escape!
The New Year has arrived with a crafty surprise for Astro Bot and Ape Escape fans! PlayStation has delighted its community by releasing free papercraft templates for two beloved characters, Astro and the Pipo Monkey, featured in a special stop-motion holiday video. This is your chance to bring these iconic PlayStation mascots to life using nothing more than paper, a printer, and a little patience.
The creator behind these two papercraft models is Masahiro Kushima from Paper Model Studio. Paper Iconic has previously featured several of his amazing designs.
