You want your own Trojan Horse? Simply build it out of paper!
We provide the folding template, and all you need is a printer, strong paper (in your color of choice), an x-acto knife, a ruler, tape and about two hours worth Trojan-Horse spirit! There are 11 individual body parts (head, neck+mane, chest, leg1, leg2, torso1, torso2, leg3, leg4, butt, tail) that you assemble by cutting out template forms. And then it’s just a small step to complete the puzzle by taping all body parts together – and voila! You have your own Trojan Horse!
TEMPLATE: trojanhorse_folded.pdf
Instructions
- Download the template: trojanhorse_folded.pdf (130 kB)
- Print it out on thick strong paper – print on Letter size, and your horse will be 35cm high, print on A3 and it will be 50cm high!
- Use knife and ruler to cut along the outer edges (numbered markers are only indicators and don’t need to be cut out)
- Slightly score the inner lines with the knife – to ease folding along straight edges.
- Fold and tape the individual body parts (you can use the tape on the inside or outside – however you seem fit)
- Combine and tape all body parts (if unclear check numbered markers to indicate which edges should merge)
- Tape the lose tail onto the back of the horse (it connects to the horse’s body over a single dimensionless point!)
- Make sure the horse looks as proper and proud as it should!
- Take it out and show it off!
- Take pictures! Of you and the horse! Of the horse in the sandbox! Of the horse in all sorts of inappropriate situations!
- Send us those pictures!! We’d love to see them and would love to show them off!
