I would bet that when paper was invented thousands of years ago that someone made a model of something using the stuff.
Maybe space aliens showed them how to fold an airplane.

I've been told it's one of the oldest forms of modeling, but just how old is an excellent question. The oldest examples I've seen are the French Imagerie D'Epinal models from
Pellerin in the 1800's. I don't doubt that they go back earlier than these. Bob

16th century
I have a reprint of a sundial in the form of a cross 'Sonnenuhr-Kruzifix' made in Nurnberg, Germany 1529. Was available through monduni.de but I don't see it listed now. George

Perhaps a pyramid or boat from ancient Egypt, if papyrus counts as paper.

Glounsbury is right , this is the oldest known papermodel; It's in a museum in Nurnburg in Germany, made by Georg Hartman in 1529

Chinese invented the recipe for paper in about 105 AD, but paper had been around before then, 8 BC from evidence.
Didn't reach japan for another 500 years. If the Germans didn't get paper until 1400's, and the first know model is 1529, it does suggest a probable earlier date. However, what do we define as a paper model? A foldable pattern? Something you cut out? I think you need to look at paper mills, mathematics, and printing for a probable period in history. You'd have thought davinci would have had some, he most certainly used paper mache. Make you wonder about archimedes.

Yes, the Egyptians made models of papyrus (and wood, straw and clay) some 3000 years before to lay them in the tombs as representations of real things for the afterlife. Making paper models for offerings to the gods during funerals is an old chinese custom as well, but I'm not sure since when. For the proper paper model there were three inventions necessary: paper or cardboard (in middle Europe around 1360), printing or etching (around 1450) and geometry (something like 600 BC). All this said, the oldest papermodel discovered so far could well be the pattern for the globe by Martin Waldseemüller around 1495/1500. The oldest securely dated one is Georg Hartmann's sundial crucifix of 1529. There are some patterns for papermodels of military tents by Hans Düring in Count Solms-Lich's book on warfare (1547), and even some predecessors of pop-up models, e.g. of the central square at Brunswick (around 1602) etc. But papermodeling was en vogue just in the 18th century (see Goethe's memoirs) and the first book about it appeared in 1802; the 19th century saw the mass produced and (rather) cheap paper models in Europe, Japan and the USA.
