Art Friday: Sheila Mertens’ Lifesized Papercraft Medieval Weapons
I’ve seen papercraft designers that make some awesome papercraft weapons like this M41A Pulse Rifle from the Alien movies and assorted firearms but this is the first time I have seen 1:1 scale papercraft melee weapons.

Live out your medieval fantasy with these papercraft plans created by Sheila Mertens for a sword, axe, flanged mace and even a morning star on a flail. I think the 1:1 scale of these models should also prove useful for cosplayers.

Sheila’s most impressive creation must be this 1:25 model of a trebuchet, a massive medieval siege engine. 21 pages of plans make up this fully working model which will actually fire projectiles. As Sheila explains in the PDF, it isn’t intended to be a fully functional replica as the thick paper used in the construction cannot withstand the operational forces involved in sustained firing.
