“Papírový model kanónu terranského Mariňáka” is the topic of today’s post.

Extremely dedicated fans from the Czech Republic have created a true to form paper-based model of the Terran Marine’s 8mm C-14 Impaler Gauss Rifle.

The rifle is presented from every possible angle in the picture gallery of this Czech StarCraft 2 site, but for those of you who are even more into paper violence, instructions for creating a piece of your own are also available.

[Instructions - Model Parts - Alternate Addon]

Aliens Papercraft, the group behind this project, will begin selling the replica on October 4th, later this year. In the mean time, enjoy this video, which showcases the rifle from every imaginable direction (and then some).

   I know this is off topic — and nice rifle — but if any of you has an orgami dragoon… pleeease rapidshare it or something. I have been dying to get that — literally. It will bring some slight comfort to my last days, lying here, as I am slowly dying of polio.

   Also, didn’t know if you SC2 Blog guys knew or not, or whether it was maybe off-limits or something, but 1up is doing a week of SC2 articles.

   If this comment violates some rule/policy/etc that I didn’t know about, go ahead and delete, with my apologies.

   q335r49, you need to learn how to Google. Just by plugging in “Starcraft origami” I was able to find several links.

   In comment 70, a WilliamClinch claims that he has instructions. However, since that comment is 2 years old, good luck.

   This guy has pictures of the dragoon, but since I can’t read Korean… good luck. Google is of no help translating a blog, either.

   Hopefully, this will put you on the right track. RIP, buddy. (And if you’re not dying of polio, then you just fail.)

    I must take one information in to the right light. The Alienspapercraft page is a fan page with free downloadable paper model , so I will NOT sell replica of the cannon. In that date (4th October 2008) will be the cannon available for download at Alienspapercraft web. The reason is Exclusivity for czech fan portals orientated to Starcraft 2-game…nothing more….

    Thanks for reference our fansite, but you have mistakes in title “papírového modelu kanónu terranského Mariňáka”.
    It is declined, if you want to use it, correct it, please, to “Papírový model kanónu terranského Mariňáka”. (it’s in English “Paper model of cannon Terran Marines”.
    Thx
