Romanian artist Imre Horvath created this paper Maquette based on a 3D design in Blender.

I made this maquette of the Huniad Castle (Hunedoara, Romania) to order.
First I created the 3D design in Blender, based on photos and the ground-plan of the building. Then I exported the file in .obj format and edited it in Pepakura Designer to make a printable pattern. I then drew the pattern onto sheets of paper and cardboard of different thickness, from which I built the 120x80 cm base sized, scale maquette.
The topography and the painting of the castle were created together with artist Kati Bódi, using acrylic paint.

Impressive! It's for display in the castle's museum?
Awesome.
Btw, are there any Blender add-ons that would do what Pepakura does?
