Star Trek Papercraft Creations

Papercraft is a hobby where computer images are printed, cut into pieces, and glued into a 3-dimensional model. It is also an inexpensive hobby that requires planning and hand-eye coordination. Many model hobbyists became attracted to papercraft because it offers a greater variety of free and difficult models to build.

Ninjatoes Papercraft have created seven Star Trek models out of paper.

All of these models are available to download and make from the website here

Star Trek Papercraft

Introduction: Star Trek Papercraft

These are some Star Trek papercraft I have created by extracting 3D models from the Star Trek Voyager Elite Force video game. Once the 3D models have been extracted, I import them into Google Sketchup for cleanup to make them doable as papercraft. From Sketchup, I export the models into Pepakura Designer which "unfolds" them into 2D templates which may be printed, folded and glued to create 3d papercraft models. Templates for each of these are available at my blog: http://www.tektonten.blogspot.com

The Final Frontier: An Origami Starship Enterprise!

Written by  Russell |  Fantasy , Instructions , Intermediate , Objects , Videos

Star Trekkin’ across the universe, On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk. Star Trekkin’ across the universe, Only going forward ’cause we can’t find reverse.

A British parody track from the 1980s: Star Trekkin’ , by The Firm.

About the Origami Starship Enterprise

Anyone who’s ever watched the Star Trek TV series or any of the movies will recognise this origami model as the Starship Enterprise! The tagline for this blog is ‘Explore the World in Paper’. With this Origami Starship Enterprise you can seek out new worlds and new civilisations and boldly go where no origami model has gone before! Well, maybe that’s pushing it a bit, but it’s a fun model anyway.

Note: This post contains affiliate links.  Please see disclosure for more information.

This Star Trek origami model is designed by Larry Hart and his brother in law Ashgar Malik. Larry taught me how to make it at a London Origami Mini Meeting . There have been several different incarnations of the Enterprise over the course of several series and films and as Larry says, the intent with this design was to create a generic representation, rather than any specific one.  You can of course spend time tweaking and shaping the model if you want to create a particular version.

Designing the Enterprise

The best of getting an insight into how a designer comes up with a new model is usually by talking to the person that created it.  Here, Larry explains the creative process behind the Origami Starship Enterprise in his own words:

“So Asghar who wasn’t my brother-in-law at the time, in fact I don’t think he’d even met my sister at this point! is in my living room, discussing how we both like star trek – and there aren’t any really good versions or not that we liked of the Enterprise. I’d even asked Robert Lang if he could use his treemaker to come up with one years earlier – the answer was I’m not interest, if you want one do it! So back to me and Asghar, I said I could see it in my head……. the basic shape was from a bird base, and Asghar actually laughed at me!! I know can you believe it? so I quickly made a bird base, folded it in half then folded the legs into nacelles facing the wrong way because I couldn’t think which way round they went for a moment & the saucer was kind of diamond shaped, but it was a starting point. Asghar asked if he could play around with it, and didn’t laugh anymore! Cut to several weeks or a month later, and I’d forgotten all about it, he came round and showed me what he’d done with it, and I said it looked good, but couldn’t really remember having started it off, so he gave me the original back and when I look at how basic it was it clicked and I did remember! He has never been a great one for location points, so lots of nagging and several changes and over 30 hours until I was happy with the diagram……………”

Folding the Origami Starship Enterprise

Although a Bird Base is a pretty simple origami construction and one of the first bases that anyone learns when they start making origami models, this is an intermediate level model. It relies on accurate folding and a couple of interesting swivel folds when forming the two nacelles at the rear.

I recommend reasonably thin paper for this model as the layers get quite thick along the main hull section. Larry taught me how to make this using a standard 15cm x 15cm (6in x 6in) sheet of origami paper or kami, but I would recommend something slightly larger for the first attempt as it can get quite fiddly at that size. Paper at least 20cm x 20cm (just under 8in a side) would be good.

You can use any colour paper you like, but as the various versions of the Enterprise were either white or grey, these colours are probably the best ones to use. You also want paper that is coloured the same on both sides, otherwise the saucer section of your Starship Enterprise will be different colour – as you can see in the picture above. I made this one from a 30cm x 30cm (12in x 12in) sheet of tissue foil from origami-shop.com that was grey on one side and silver on the other. This produces an origami spaceship model that is about 12cm long and 5cm wide.

Make your own Origami Starship Enterprise!

Asghar and Larry have kindly given me permission to make this video showing how to make an origami Starship Enterprise.  The video lasts about 45 minutes because I’m taking time to demonstrate each step, but once you’re familiar with the folding sequence, you should be able to make this model in about 20 – 30 minutes.  The origami Starship Enterprise diagrams have not yet been published.

Once you have successfully folded the Starship Enterprise, you should try the origami Romulan Warbird next.

Since there is so much interest in the TOS Bridge model. I thought I would point people toward even more Trek models. At J. Leslie's site there are a great many Trek and other Sci-Fi, as well as real space models. I resized Ron Caudillo's Paper Enterprise to make my basic templates for the 1/350th Build-up. Anyway, check em out. http://jleslie48.com/gallery_models_scifi.html

Impressive stuff!  

Yes, I think so too. Some of these models make great study models for other projects and stand up themselves as decent representations of the various ships represented. TowerPower said: Impressive stuff! Click to expand...

I've been to the site before. Last weekend I was really bored, and managed to find enough Trek card models to bring me to a total of 50 some card models.  

50?!? How many have you built? I've built several, but usually give them to the neighbor kids. I'm trying to turn them into trekkies. ed629 said: I've been to the site before.

^^^ Outstanding! Please show us some of your work. You know I've often thought that if some of the CG guys would work with the paper model guys, we could have some of the coolest paper models on the planet. I went into Ron's Bridge and started changing some of the graphics, using scenes from screen-caps etc and it really started looking good. Unfortunately that was one conputer crash ago. I may try it again, but not right now. Another thing that got me thinking was some of the video game modders.... If they would work with the paper craft guys, We could have some decent models of sets and scenes..... Keep on Trekkin and please show some of your work. KTM  

^ I'll do that, but it takes me a while to finish models because of work and other stuff that give me little free time. But I'll post some of them when I get time. The ones I've finished except for the smaller vessels (shuttle craft size) are the smaller scale ones. Actually you can see part of one here. To the right of Chihuahua, it's the Enterprise.  

OK, I can see the wild alien beast, but I can just make out the Enterprise. Did it crash land on the "Land of the Gaints"?

WHOOT! Thanks. I'm sure there are a few I don't have. Are they ever going to get the bugs worked out? It's still a bit twitchy.  

I used that link too, I only found about 1/2 of what I've downloaded from that site.

I'm having a grand old time putting together the 1/25 scale bridge.  

Really? That's great, glad to hear it, Ron did a great job on that. How's it coming so far, where are you, did it print OK? Captain Robert April said: I'm having a grand old time putting together the 1/25 scale bridge. Click to expand...

Captain April, where did you get the output printed? I'd like to get started too but wonder where to go to get the card stock printed. Kinkos?

I'm just using plain old white paper. Yes, I'm a glutton for punishment.

Digital camera doesn't work, and it's a piece of crap anyway. Anyhoo, I've gotten the upper and lower decks, helm and nav console, command chair, turbolift doors, and main viewscreen put together, along with the lower support structure. Just need to do the stations and the outer shell. Next, I think I might do the Klingon disruptor pistol....

Original ‘Star Trek’ Enterprise Model Is Found After Being Missing for Decades

The 33-inch model surfaced on eBay after disappearing around 1979. An auction house is giving it to the son of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of “Star Trek.”

The first model of the U.S.S. Enterprise, the starship that appeared in the opening credits of the original “Star Trek” television series , has been returned to Eugene Roddenberry Jr., the son of the creator of the series, decades after it went missing.

“After a long journey, she’s home,” Mr. Roddenberry wrote on social media on Thursday.

For die-hard Trekkies, the model’s disappearance had become the subject of folklore, so an eBay listing last fall, with a starting bid of $1,000, didn’t go unnoticed.

“Red alert,” someone in an online costume and prop-making forum wrote, linking to the listing.

Mr. Roddenberry’s father, Gene Roddenberry, created the television series, which first aired in 1966 and ran for three seasons. It spawned numerous spinoffs, several films and a franchise that has included conventions and legions of devoted fans with an avid interest in memorabilia.

The seller of the model was bombarded with inquiries and quickly took the listing down.

The seller contacted Heritage Auctions to authenticate it, the auction house’s executive vice president, Joe Maddalena, said on Saturday. As soon as the seller, who said he had found it in a storage unit, brought it to the auction house’s office in Beverly Hills, Calif., Mr. Maddalena said he knew it was real.

“That’s when I reached out to Rod to say, ‘We’ve got this. This is it,’” he said, adding that the model was being transferred to Mr. Roddenberry.

Mr. Roddenberry, who is known as Rod, said on Saturday that he would restore the model and seek to have it displayed in a museum or other institution. He said reclaiming the item had only piqued his interest in the circumstances about its disappearance.

“Whoever borrowed it or misplaced it or lost it, something happened somewhere,” he said. “Where’s it been?”

It was unclear how the model ended up in the storage unit and who had it before its discovery.

The original U.S.S. Enterprise, a 33-inch model, was mostly made of solid wood by Richard C. Datin, a model maker for the Howard Anderson Company, a special-effects company that created the opening credits for some of the 20th century’s biggest TV shows .

An enlarged 11-foot model was used in subsequent “Star Trek” television episodes, and is now part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum , where it was donated by Paramount Studios in 1974.

Mr. Roddenberry, who said he gave the seller a “reward” for its recovery but did not disclose the terms, assembled a group of “Star Trek” production veterans, model makers and restoration specialists in Beverly Hills to authenticate the find.

The group included a “Star Trek” art supervisor, Michael Okuda, and his wife, Denise, an artist on “Star Trek” television series and films, and Gary Kerr, a “Trek x-pert” who served as technical consultant for the Smithsonian during a 2016 restoration of the 11-foot model.

“We spent at least an hour photographing it, inspecting the paint, inspecting the dirt, looking under the base, the patina on the stem, the grain in the wood,” Mr. Roddenberry said.

“It was a unanimous ‘This is 100 percent the one,’” he said.

Gene Roddenberry, who died in 1991 , kept the original model, which appeared in the show’s opening credits and pilot episode, on his desk.

Mr. Kerr compared the model to 1960s photos he had of the model on Mr. Roddenberry’s desk.

“The wood grain matched exactly, so that was it,” he said on Saturday.

The model went missing after Mr. Roddenberry lent it to the makers of “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” which was released in 1979, Mr. Maddalena said.

“This is a major discovery,” he said, likening the model to the ruby slippers from “The Wizard of Oz,” a prop that was stolen in 2005 and recovered by the F.B.I. in 2018, and that Heritage Auctions is selling.

While the slippers represent hope, he said, the starship Enterprise model “represents dreams.”

“It’s a portal to what could be,” he said.
