When it comes to
superheroes, Spiderman is one of the coolest out there. I was first introduced to him back in the
80’s when his 60’s TV show would be broadcasted in the morning. Though the animation now seems ancient, when
I was a little boy it was one of the most exciting shows to watch (along with
Rocket Robin Hood and The Mighty Hercules).
I loved the theme song especially, “Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever
a spider can... etc.” Then as I got
older I started reading his comics and got involved in the comic collector hype
of the early 90’s. I really loved
Spiderman because there were so many things I could relate to him with. First off his name was Peter, which is also
my name (that might seem insignificant but I always thought it was neat). Second, he loved Mary Jane, a redhead which I
also share an interest with. And third,
he was a web-slinging-spiderman; how could you not like that.
Spiderman’s powers
are the only powers I think that are just as amazing as Superman’s. I mean flying is cool, but so is
web-slinging. In the spirit of admiring
Spiderman I decide to undertake a papercraft version of him. The version I found was from paperrobots1999.com,
the same place where I first got a papercraft version of Optimus Prime. This website makes amazing designs that are
simple to follow that can also have hidden gems. For example I like how you are be able to
remove Spiderman’s mask and reveal Peter Parker’s face. The only difficult part of this build was
attaching the chest pieces to one another.
Once put together this papercraft can be positioned in multiple stances
with various moving parts and is worth the effort to build.
