Orange Star MD Tank by Pete Michaud (Nintendo Power)

29-06-2006: I got a message from Pete Michaud; he writes for Nintendo Power Magazine and he is a big fan of Ninjatoes’ papercraft webpage!

Well… Actually he just told me he built my Orange Star MD Tank… But he had a lot of fun building it, and he did an article about it in issue nr. 207 (September 2006) of Nintendo Power Magazine!

Well… Actually they were a little cramped for space, so he just mentioned my papercraft website in the “Community” section (page 89 “Origami Wars”: picture). But still: my name is in print in an official Nintendo magazine!

Well… Actually not my real name – just my papercraft alias.

…but that’s still very cool of course! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model! (and featuring me in your magazine! ;o)

Majora’s Mask by Weasel

01-09-2006: Weasel tells me he made this Majora’s Mask entirely with packing tape, not a single drop of glue.

I think that’s quite a feat: I mean, if I had to do this with just packing tape it would look, well… “different”…

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Young Link by Jacob Shultz

01-09-2006: Here’s another Link, built by Jacob Shultz. He has made a small website of his own, including an origami gallery where you can find another picture of Link and one of Lara Croft’s red snowmobile as well!

The Triforce in the picture is made out of LEGO bricks. You know, I really think LEGO should talk with Nintendo about doing a LEGO Zelda series. I’d definitely buy those!!

Majora’s Mask & young princess Zelda by Benjamin Hall

31-08-2006: Benjamin Hall from Nottingham, England created his own fiery backdrop for the Majora’s Mask he built, and a Hyrule Castle courtyard for young princess Zelda.

Unfortunately, because he had to use just ordinary printer paper and a Pritt Stick, many of the glue tabs are already letting go… Nonetheless, he tells me he had fun building the models and that has earned him a place in the hall of fame!!

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Young Link by Cosimo Costanzia di Costigliole

07-08-2006: It’s official: when I retire, I’m gonna live in Tyrol! Just look at the beautiful rooftops, sky and green hills in this picture!

Oh, and you also might want to take a look at the paper Link that Cosimo from South Tyrol (the Italian part) built. An amazing job, it looks even better than my own one! (but that’s not really *that* amazing, though… ;o)

I’m pleased to see that it’s actually buildable for you guys!

Thank you for downloading and building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

One Piece “Going Merry” by The Webdude

11-09-2005: The Webdude from Tenessee, USA has built this scaled up version of the “Going Merry”! Why did he scale it up, you ask? Well, he is planning to make a neat island base for it with a few other One Piece paper models which I can’t wait to see!

In the meantime, be sure to check out his own papercraft website, The Webdude’s Free Papercraft, and don’t forget to take a look at the other pictures: picture 2 | picture 3.

One Piece “Going Merry” by Jeffery Nguyen

29-06-2005: This “Going Merry” is by Jeffery Nguyen from Texas, USA. In this picture, you can see how small the model actually is. Here are two more pictures: picture 2 | picture 3.

The transparant parts for the rigging are made from a simple food wrapper with some clear tape over it to prevent smudging from the felt tip lines as a cheap alternative for a printable transparant sheet. Smart thinking Jeffery!

One Piece “Going Merry” by Ken Moore

30-04-2005: This is the “Going Merry” by Ken Moore from Ohio, USA. He had the idea that with a few modifications, it could be used for a tabletop pirate game.

The 15 mm skeleton crew is from Jim Hartman’s entry for the Paper Worlds Miniatures in Paper contest 1: Pirates and Ships. You can get them from Jim’s site: OneMonk.

One Piece “Going Merry” by Carlos Roberto Liberato

25-08-2004: the first contribution to Ninjatoes’ hall of fame! The “Going Merry” by Carlos Roberto Liberato from Brazil. Here are some more pictures: picture 2 | picture 3.

The sea-baseplate that Carlos created, can be downloaded here (178 kB ZIP file). He also used to have papercraft website of his own, FAB in Paper, an archived version of which you can still visit by clicking here.
