A nice little project to make the word a better place…. or just give you the possibility to make your own Van.
You can download your Van van the Cut Cut Cut-site
The competition has ended, but perhaps the site will continue? Who will know.
I’ll show you the top 5 winning Vans:
I have written about Urban papercraft, but what is it? and when do I consider it “Urban papercraft”?
Lets look for the definition of Urban papercraft at the Wikipedia definition of Urban Vinyl.
Which can be used to define Urban papercraft:
I decided to “share” my unstructured flash experiments:
And in this case it’s a flash application that creates flat, printable versions of cubes. Just print it, cut it out, glue it together and there you have it: the amazing cube:
Or just check the amazing cube full screen..
When I started to create Grumm I wanted it to be a one piece (one A4) papermodel which is “easy” to build.
And because it is a “easy” model, it’s also easy to create a skin for it.
The next plan was to create extensions for Grumm.
These extensions could be more difficult, but would improve Grumm.
A extension is an addition (extends) to the main papermodel
The comments about Grumm at toydigger forum confirm that.
So here a little update about this extension project:
And the examples are glued to a basic Grumm body and legs.
Readymechs are free flatpack toys designed to fit on an 8.5�x11� and to be printed on any printer.
update #1: After updating my blog to Thickbox (of course by a wp-thickbox plugin and don’t forget wp-jQuery), if found out that some of the images I found are missing… So that’s the update I did!
I’ve written about ReadyMech before and I wanted to know if there were more examples of the flatpack toys…
A while back I got a Computer Art from May 2006.
In this magazine was a winner from the Computer Arts forum contest who could design the best Flatpack toys .
The winner was Rigel (Sarah Bibby) and her creation is called Glump (I can’t find anything about this).
I’ve been looking for the result of this contest but could find very little.
So I asked the peeps of toydigger (it’s in Dutch) to help… no result.
Update: I changed the way you can view the images (it was too much…). I used Safirul Alredha wp_lightbox2 plugin for this, and it looks very nice.
Today I try to find some more FlatPack examples and this is my result:

I’ve asked a couple of friends and colleague to design a skin for Grumm.
The first to finish a skin is Symen Veenstra aka Enkeling and he called it: Grummeling
And Grummeling from all angles:

A quick test I made for Grumm.
It’s done on the stationery paper from the company I work for.
So for lack of a better name, lets call it: Grumm Fabrique
And look at him from all angles:
I’ve finished my first skin for Grumm.
I call it: Grumm the Screamer – Red
