Though a royal family does not live here, the Manor remains guarded heavily, leaving guests wondering what secrets are held inside its walls… 99% cardboard 1% foam board Time it took me to make: 3 days

Here are a few really nice models. I happened to come across them and tried them out right away with great results. Right click on the images and 'save' to your computer and then you are ready to print them out. The castle is fairly challenging, I'd put it at medium/difficult to assemble and takes a couple of hours at least. It is probably easier to assemble most of it before gluing it on to the base. Also I printed it out on A3 size paper and it's still pretty small! I've made the first one…

Today's project is a one-page pop-up castle - much easier to make than it looks. Simply pay attention to exactly where to cut - or fold. Cut it out of a single sheet of A4 photocopier card.

This papercraft castle was created by Monica who lives in Northern Sweden. Inspired by Kilkenny Castle in Ireland, the model was constructed using color card stock and double sided tape. The template download for the castle includes several different file formats, including files that may be used as cutting files for Craft Robo cutting machines. This and several other architectural models may be downloaded from Monica's site here.
