If you’ve been bitten by the papercraft bug, but can’t seem to find enough ways to feed it, then check out the Papercraft Scientists and Papercraft Game Consoles.
The Scientists feature Albert Einstein, Carl Sagan and Charles Darwin:
And the Game Consoles include the Commodore 64, the Atari 2600, and the Pong Arcade:
Each one can be made at home by printing out the pattern, cutting and folding the figure according to the instructions.
