13-02-2012: With almost 100 pieces (95 to be exact ;o) it took Logan almost 30 hours to build this papercraft Kingdom Hearts 2 Sora!
But he says it was worth it, because he’s very happy with his paper model! ;o)
If you want to read a bit more about it, or see the nice Baby Peach (made by Sabi96) that Logan also built, have a look at LoloStudio’s DeviantArt gallery: link
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

25-12-2011: You didn’t think Eldetabernas stopped building paper models, did you? ;o)
Last time he build a LEGO Pirate captain, this time it’s another sea captain, from The Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass: the fearless (or so he keeps telling others…) Captain Linebeck!
As captain of the S.S. Linebeck, he ferries Link from island to island over the Great Sea, and from the looks of it they’ll be visiting Madagascar soon! (watch out for penguins! ;o)
Great job building Linebeck!
12-05-2011: This time Eldetabernas built a paper model that’s not from a video game (well, if you don’t count the 1998 video game LEGO Racers… ;o)
It’s the coolest pirate LEGO ever made, captain Redbeard! Although he’s missing a leg, a hand and an eye, he’s still smiling: picture
Like all LEGO products, minifigs can be disassembled and assembled again in seperate parts, and Eldetabernas made a video showing that this papercraft version is no different: link ;o)
08-03-2011: With the problems with the mast and sail solved, Eldetabernas still wasn’t done with the King of Red Lions! ;o)
This time, he built the special sea base and the Chokipeta Wind Waker Link that Josh Darrah made (link).
I think they look very good, and fit perfectly with my King of Red Lions model! Here are two pictures: picture 1 | picture 2
To see a video of Eldetabernas’ King of Red Lions with the new sea base and some videos from the game (Eldetabernas didn’t want to cut the catchy music short ;o) go here!
25-02-2011: We already saw that Eldetabernas built the King of Red Lions again using stronger paper than the first time, but the sail was still causing the mast to bend because it was so heavy…
Now, he also solved that problem, by rebuilding the mast and sail and using two, long toothpicks and a Chinese chopstick to reinforce the parts from the inside!
So now, the mast is no longer bent: picture 1! He even made a schematic to show you how he did it: picture 2
He also didn’t glue on the backside of the sail this time to reduce the weight (because like he says: “it’s heavy and you can’t see that part!” ;o)
And as you can see it was well worth going back and re-building the mast and sail again: now the mast is perfectly straight!
Great work again!
16-02-2011: Eldetabernas sent me a message that together with two of his friends, he started a papercraft weblog of his own: Papercrafteros!
On their new weblog, they will showcase the paper models they built, so if his friends are just as big a papercraft enthustiacs as himself, I’m sure we will be seeing *a lot* of pictures there! ;o)
The blog is in Spanish, but you can use a tool to translate it or just look at the pictures! ;o)
29-01-2011: Besides sending me this picture and video of the papercraft Wind Waker Fishman (made by the Papercraft Couple) that he built, Eldetabernas also made a video tour of the artwork in his house – including all the paper models he built of course! ;o)
Here’s the link if you want to watch it too!
13-01-2011: You recognize this guy of course, it’s-a Mario! ;o) Built by Eldetabernas, and this time he also made a video!
You can see it on YouTube here: video
19-12-2010: Like so many papercrafters, Eldetabernas ran out of room to put his paper models… ;o)
His dad made two new shelves for him, but I think he will need even more shelves if he keeps building so fast: shelves icture ;o)
28-11-2010: More paper models by Eldetabernas! Besides remaking his Clocktown Schnauzer in less than 2 hours (here’s a picture of it together with young Link) he also built some other models since last time:
06-11-2010 EldeTabernas made another paper model; this time it’s Cloud Strife from my Final Fantasy / Kingdom Hearts series!
The hair and the boots were the most challenging parts he says, but I think he did a great job on those: picture 2 | picture 3
30-10-2010: This time EldeTabernas didn´t make a Legend of Zelda model, but the Nintendo Zapper light gun! picture 1 | picture 2
17-10-2010: EldeTabernas worked pretty fast, and he already finished the rest of the King of Red Lions! Unfortunately the mast still wasn’t strong enough for the sail, but I think it looks great nonetheless: picture 1 | picture 2
14-10-2010: In the first picture that he sent me, you can see that EldeTabernas already built the King of Red Lions once, but now he is building a new version out of stronger paper!
Because there are a lot of small parts on the figurehead, the King of Red Lions is definately one of my most challenging models, but that isn’t stopping EldeTabernas: picture 1 | picture 2
09-10-2010: Here’s another Legend of Zelda model built by EldeTabernas: Twilight Link!
He used regular printer paper, and except for the hands that required some extra patience, he didn’t find it very difficult and enjoyed making it. ;o)
02-10-2010: EldeTabernas from Spain sends me this picture of the Zelda models he made so far to show his progress:
The Clocktown Schnauzer dog, Majora’s Mask (center) and the King of Red Lions (right) were the first paper models he made, and his latest ones are wolf Link and the Postman! (both on the left)
Here are some more pictures, of one of his first builds, and one of his latest build:
King of Red Lions | Clock Town Postman
He is rightfully proud of his latest two builds I think, and even though he feels his first models aren’t as good, I hope he enjoyed making them! ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

29-11-2011: This picture of Epona and Link is from Leah (a.k.a. AlphaWolfKodijr on DeviantArt)
She found Link‘s face a bit difficult to build, but she really likes Epona, and she didn’t just build it once, but twice before she was satisfied with it! ;o)
picture 2 | picture 3
But Leah actually built many more papercraft models! Another one of my own Zelda series is the mule that pulls Cremia’s milk wagon during the “Milk Road Run” sidequest in Majora’s Mask: picture
If you want to see bigger pictures of Leah’s Epona and Link or mule, or the other papercraft models she built, you can visit her DeviantArt papercraft gallery here: link
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ (and other people’s ;o) papercraft models!
20-11-2011: Do you recognize this paper model? It’s wolf Link of course, from the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
Or is it? Misaki (a.k.a. littlesquirrel on DeviantArt) has repainted it (quite literally, with acrylic paint ;o) to make it into the God of Frost.
The shades of white and blue with the golden accents look really great I think, and give the God of Frost a very appropriate, chilly look!
It’s an amazing piece of work, not just building the papercraft model, but also the new paintjob!
Misaki uploaded a bigger version of the picture to here DeviantArt gallery, so if you’re a DeviantArt member yourself, be sure to give her some feedback on her work: link
Thank you for building (and repainting ;o) a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
3-11-2011: This Paper Mario was built by Vincentmrl!
He wanted to make a “time-lapse” of it (where you see it built part by part), but unfortunately, that didn’t work out…
Still, Mario looks pretty happy to be on Vincent’s desk amonst all the other papercraft models!
He must have eaten plenty of Super Mushrooms, because he’s become a bit big for the Super Mario World 1-1 diorama from nerd-craft in the background now… ;o)
The Portal diorama in the background on the left was made by Tubbypaws; I think Jumpman Mario would feel right at home in that world too! ;o)
Thank you for building this Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
30-10-2011: This time, Joshua sent me a group picture of all the papercraft models he built so far! From left to right they are:
For some of the models, he used a technique called “edge-colouring” to get rid of the white lines you get from the thickness of the paper.
It’s a little bit of extra work of course, but as you can see on his paper model of Cloud, the result is great: picture
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
25-10-2011: It took Joshua 15 hours to build his papercraft Kingdom Hearts Sora, and I think he did a really good job: picture
It isn’t the first papercraft model that Joshua built: before Sora, he also built Link and Epona (so that’s actually two models ;o) and now he’s building Oogie Boogie, from Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas (and Kingdom Hearts).
I think maybe it’s for Halloween? ;o) But I’m sure it’s also because he likes the Kingdom Hearts game (because it really is a great game! ;o)
Thank you for building this Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
19-10-2011: Esther from Australia has been doing papercraft for nearly two years now and she really enjoys it!
In this picture, you can see she has made quite a few models already: there’s Patrick Star from Spongebob Squarepants, a Deku Scrub and a Zora from the Legend of Zelda and several Cubees and other papercraft toys.
And in the back, you can also see a Final Fantasy Moomba doll and the Legend of Zelda Twilight Link! But the one that was the most difficult to build for her, was wolf Link.
Wolf Link definitely is one of the most challenging models I made so far, and Esther did a great job on all the difficult parts, but in the end, she was having a lot of trouble with the final step to glue the backside of the body to the front portion.
But she never even thought of giving up, and she was so determined to finish it, that with a lot of trying and hard work, she finally managed to finish her papercraft wolf Link!
And I bet that if I wouldn’t have told you about her troubles just now, you wouldn’t even have known, because the final result looks fantastic!
Esther can be really proud of herself I think! ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ (and others’ ;o) papercraft models!

29-06-2011: Josh from Australia only recently discovered papercraft, and after downloading a few models, he decided to start with Mario!
After a short explanation of basic papercrafting techniques like valley- and mountain folding and pre-shaping he set to work building Mario, and as you can see, he did a very good job!
It’s already a great first build, and of course he’ll only get better and better as he’s already planning to build more paper models! ;o)
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
21-06-2011: This LEGO Pirate Captain Redbeard papercraft minifig was built by chris24jc.
It not only looks great, but it’s nice and strong too (which is very important if you’re gonna be taking the pieces apart and putting them back together all the time… ;o)
How I know this? I saw it in the video! ;o)
But instead of just a simple video, Chris made a very comprehensive review on his Youtube channel. It’s almost 10 minutes long, and he has some very good tips on building it!
Here’s the link if you want to watch it too: chris24jc’s video review
Thank you for building (and reviewing ;o) a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
20-06-2011: As you can see, the “Going Merry” model is still very popular! (just like the One Piece anime series itself! ;o)
It’s a small model with some very small parts, but Felipe did a great job building it!
Here’s a picture taken a bit more from the side: picture
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
06-06-2011: Stanislav from the Czech Republic sent me some pictures of the Battlestar Galactica Viper Mk.II that he built!
It’s only the third papercraft model he built since he was a kid, he says, but I think he did a great job!
Here are two more pictures, so you can see for yourself: picture 2 | picture 3

30-05-2011: Another picture of Khalid; he has built quite a few paper models already! From left to right, they are:
Who knows what he may built next! ;o)
20-05-2011: Khalid is a fast builder! While he was waiting for me to post his pictures of Twilight Link, he already made another paper model: Oogie Boogie!
Here are two pictures of both of them together: picture 1 | picture 2
And here’s also one of Oogie Boogie alone: picture
Although I did make Oogie Boogie a bit easier to build than Twilight Link, Khalid must still have worked pretty fast to finish it so quickly! ;o)
18-05-2011: This papercraft Link from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was built by Khalid.
Khalid had some trouble to get the small fingers right at first, but as you can see in the picture, in the end he really did to do a very good job on them, so that Link can hold his Master Sword and Hylian Shield!
He showed me several more pictures, including these close-ups of Link’s upper body and head: picture 2 | picture 3
So luckily, Khalid didn’t give up on making the fingers, and I think he can be very proud of his papercraft Twilight Link! ;o)
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
17-05-2011: Jean-Pierre made this nice little Alice in Wonderland diorama with my American McGee’s Alice model and the Queen of Hearts from the Constructing Wonderland website.
Here’s another picture of Alice by herself: picture
I included the Vorpal Blade in my model as Alice’s weapon of choice, but the croquet Mallet that Jean-Pierre made for her is another one of the deadly weapons she can use, many of which can be found here.
The boney American McGee’s Cheshire Cat is still on my to do-list to paperfy, but Jean-Pierre made a simple standie that looks pretty good with Alice too: picture ;o)
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
16-05-2011: Aaron found some time again to do some more papercrafting this weekend, and he decided to build my 3D Paper Mario!
The picture was taken in computer class: Aaron’s classmates (and his teacher ;o) are always very impressed whenever he brings with him another one of his builds! ;o)
09-05-2011: After all the Zelda models that Aaron built earlier, this time he made an Advance Wars unit!
Although he never played the game, he liked the look of the Orange Star Fighter I made recently, so he decided to printed it off and and build it! ;o)
His pictures really show the scale of my papercraft Advance Wars units, most of them easily fit your hand: picture 1 | picture 2
This has its advantages, of course: for instance, you don’t have to invest in expensive Anti-Air units and Missiles anymore, since you can just pluck enemy Fighters from the sky should they be foolish enough to attack you: picture ;o)
04-08-2010: We had already seen Aaron’s wolf Link, but now he also built Midna: picture
Although I really made her to fit on the back of wolf Link, Aaron tells me she is also quite comfortable on the armrest of the chair that he made himself: picture
20-12-2009: Aaron’s thirst for Zelda models is far from satisfied yet, as he also built Hero outfit Link now! Here he is together with Zora armor Link, and here’s a picture of it alone.
22-10-2009: Two new models by Aaron Mears! The first one is princess Zelda, and the second one is wolf Link. Aaron has been working on them off and on all during summer break, and a month into school. So that’s how many Zelda models already? Well, you can see in this groupshot!
01-07-2009 Aaron promised me he’d send some new pictures, and here they are! The first one is a rebuild of young Link that he did earlier. I guess he just wanted to make it *perfect* (and now he also repainted the sheeth to make it look like the blade of the sword! ;o)
The second one is Fierce Deity Link. You can see another Fierce Deity Link in super deformed style in the picture, it’s a repaint of ChokiPETA’s Four Swords Link and can be downloaded from here.
The final one in this update is my newest model, Zora armor Link. I’m very glad to see that most people find it relatively easy to build, and the results like this one are usually great as well! ;o)
09-06-2009: More paper Zelda models from Aaron! This time it’s the King of Red Lions. And Aaron also built Josh Darrah’s Great Sea Base! (picture)
17-05-2009: I guess Aaron forgot to mention he also built my Epona & Link models! ;o) You can see them here, together with young Link and another Link from a different papercraft creator (which you can download here). If I remember correctly, it was made with Tenkai, the predecessor of Pepakura Designer.
And that concludes the random trivia lesson for today. ;o)
10-05-2009: Aaron sends me a few pictures of the young Link papercraft model he built. The small treasure chest he’s trying to open in this picture, can be found here (but it’s probably just another Small Key again, that you can only use in this dungeon… ;o)
Aaron also built the Clock Town Schnauzer model from my website. When Link is transformed into a Deku Scrub, it growls at you and attacks you, but after Link is transformed back to normal, the both of them get along just fine, as you can see in this picture.
The last picture shows that when Link is not playing with dogs, he likes to play King Arthur and pull swords out of stones. If you want to try yourself, you can download the template for the Master Sword and pedestal here.
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
09-05-2011: After 26 hours of papercrafting, Josh can finally sit back and admire his work!
He built Sora as a gift for his girlfriend, whom he introduced to the amazing worlds of Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, making her a fan as well! ;o)
So he really wanted to do the best he could! For the best effect, Josh used a technique called edge-colouring, using markers to get rid of the white lines of the paper.
He didn’t have all the exact right colours, so he says the edges pop out a bit more than he’d like, but I think it looks pretty good: picture 2 | picture 3
He also scored the fold lines with the back of his X-Acto knife where he needed to make sharp, crisp folds. This made folding those parts much easier, for example the hair: picture 4
I’m sure any Kingdom Hearts fan, old or new, would love a Sora to put on their desk, so I hope Josh’s girlfriend will enjoy his gift and appreciate the hours he put into it for her! ;o)
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
