Papercraft, wall-hung 3D space invader sprites

Jeff sez, "We like to be prepared for an alien invasion...Nerf guns loaded, extra rations of nachos packed away, and a Klingon dictionary in the back pocket. Unfortunately, such preparations tend to be forgotten in the routine of day-to-day life. As a subtle reminder, we created giant, 3-D, papercraft Space Invaders on our walls, and just so everyone is prepared, we show you how to build your own. Enjoy."

Build 3-D Papercraft Space Invaders (Thanks, Jeff!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

How about we stop wasting paper on bullshit?

  Brilliant idea!
  
  I’m going to print off a shitload of copies of your comment and deliver them to everyone in my neighborhood to spread the word.

In my tired state I misread that as “Papercraft, well-hung 3D space invader sprites”

  I’m not particularly tired, and I did exactly the same. Never scroll from above.

When I read “nerf guns” I thought these were going to be targets, and when each pixel is hit with a nerf dart it’s designed to fall off the wall. I haven’t used a nerf gun since I was 14, but I think that kind of (self-destructing, reusable) target would be pretty cool.
