29-10-2012: Henry Dig from Vietnam built my papercraft Batman, The New Batman Adventures version!
He did a great job, which is not surprising because he has lots of experience building papercraft models!
In his DeviantArt gallery, you can see a (*much*) bigger picture of papercraft Batman, and lots more pictures of other papercraft models he built: link
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
14-08-2012: Papercraft is very popular in Indonesia (no doubt for a large part thanks to the Paper-Replika website! ;o) and here is more proof!
This picture of my papercraft Mario (and several other papercraft models from various websites! ;o) was posted by PapercraftID (Papercraft Indonesia) some time ago on their Twitter account: link
Although the hands weren’t finished yet in this picture, Papercraft Mario already looks really good I think! ;o)
If you want to see more of PapercraftID‘s pictures, you can look up their Twitter account with posted images here: link
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
18-10-2012: Rodrigo (RoderickXIII) from Chile built this papercraft Sora from the game Kingdom Hearts 2!
Most parts of paper Sora aren’t too difficult I think, but there are some tricky parts like the hands and hair, but from the looks of it, Rodrigo did a great job!
He says he was very pleased with the way it went together, so I’m happy to hear that of course! ;o)
Together with Alfredo (AlfredxD), Rodrigo set up a DeviantArt account under the name NotNotGuilty, and although right now Sora is the only papercraft model to see there yet, you can also see lots of drawings from all kinds of video games, movies and other things they made!
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
16-10-2012: A few days ago, Space sent me a message about somebody who made lots of paper models, including my papercraft Animated Series Batman.
Out of aluminium beverage cans.
Made from different kinds of cans to get the colours just right, aluminium Batman looks fantastic I think!
I was able to contact the person who made it, called Machaon, and she agreed to be in the hall of fame here. ;o)
If you want to see more pictures of aluminium Batman though, you should really visit her Akikann Kurafuto weblog here: link
And be sure to check out the rest of her weblog (link) and her other craft website (link) too, because Machaon has made *lots* more papercraft models with aluminium cans, from teddy bears to Pokémon, all kinds of animals and lots more!
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes aluminium papercraft model! ;o)
(if you’re inspired to do the same, do be very careful of course, because a paper cut is nothing compared to the cuts you can get from a thin, sharp piece of aluminium…!)
12-10-2012: Raylene uses the name legendarydragonstar on her DeviantArt page, because she really loves dragons!
But as you can see, she really likes the Legend of Zelda too! ;o)
She built my papercraft Epona + Link, and she did a really great job too because as you can see, they both look great!
You might be wondering why they both look so blackened, but maybe that’s because they’ve just had a close encounter with the fiery breath of that purple dragon in the picture…?
Still though, I don’t think Link would ever run away from a dragon like that!
(although I do have to note, that the game-Link that always goes straight after fire-breathing dragons isn’t made out of paper like this one of course… ;o)
In Raylene’s DeviantArt gallery you can find several more papercraft models she built, and don’t be surprised to see a few dragons! ;o)
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
14-10-2012: Sotong Kring just keeps building and building, it seems! ;o) Here’s a new paper model built by him already: Cloud Strife!
From this angle, you can really see how huge the Buster Sword is: you wouldn’t want to run into that if you were Cloud’s enemy…
Another great build by Sotong Kring!
13-10-2012: A few days ago, Sotong Kring sent me a picture of the paper Mario he built, but now he showed me two new pictures of models he also built!
One of them is Underworld Lara, and Sotong Kring took a beautiful picture of her: picture
Lara seems to have made it out of the shark infested waters, and is now making her way through the jungle in search of some ancient temple ruins…
And the other one is a T-Rex dinosaur, who seems to have already met Lara (seeing as it is already feets up: picture ;o)
Two more great builds by Sotong Kring!
10-10-2012: Sotong Kring tells me he’s a fan of my blog, because he can find many papercraft models through it.
And as you can see, one of the paper models he found, was my very own papercraft Mario: picture ;o)
I think Sotong’s paper Mario looks really wonderful, and from the looks of it, Mario himself is pretty happy with the job Sotong did too! ;o)
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
13-10-2012: Mr Trollen sent me a new tweet saying he has a problem… He’s gotten addicted to papercraft! ;o)
Maybe it’s the fumes from the glue…? All I can say though, is do take a break every once in a while, and don’t forget about your other hobbies and tasks! ;o)
In the picture you can see Cloud that Mr Trollen already finished last time, and Snorlax and Hatsune Miku are done now too!
And there’s even a new model that he built since last time, young Princess Zelda!
We wish Mr Trollen the best with his new addiction, and I hope he can find a good balance between building paper models and the other stuff he likes/has to do…! ;o)
04-10-2012: Mr Trollen tells me on Twitter, that Cloud is the first Ninjatoes’ papercraft model he built, and I think it looks really good: picture
In the foreground you can see a papercraft Pokémon Snorlax from the PaperPokés website and Vocaloid Hatsune Miku from Seisaku Diary in progress.
If Mr Trollen does just as good a job on those as he did on Cloud, they will definitely turn out great as well!
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
02-10-2012: Samuel Herrera made an absolutely amazing stop-motion video of Fierce Deity Link battling Twilight Hero Link: video link
It turns out, Fierce Deity Link en Twilight Hero Link are both after the same treasure, and when they finally meet in the final room of the Sacred Living Room Dungeon, they fight to decided who gets the “ultimate” prize… ;o)
Of course paper models are no action figures, so it’s not so easy to make a stop-motion video of them, but Samuel did a great job!
For Zelda fans, there are lots of recognizable sound effects and visual effects, and although it must have taken Samuel a lot of time, you can really see he must have had a lot of fun making it! ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models! (and making a video out of them! ;o)
29-09-2012: Joost from the Netherlands built the papercraft Linebeck from The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass you see in this picture!
He says there are some white lines from the paper on the back of his Linebeck figure, but that does not take away that he did a great job building it!
The most difficult part he found was the small pluck of hair on top of Linebeck’s head, but from the looks of it, he managed to build it just fine nonetheless! ;o)
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
20-09-2012: A fellow Star Trek: Voyager fan from the Netherlands built my hand drawn papercraft U.S.S. Voyager starship!
I think PinkieDraw did a great job, but that’s not so surprising for such a creative person: just take a look at the drawings that she made in her DeviantArt gallery: link
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
28-08-2012: Jack finished this papercraft young Link a few weeks ago, but he hadn’t sent me a picture yet until now.
And I’m glad he did, because it looks really nice! ;o) Here’s another picture, from the back this time: picture
Jack’s understandingly very proud of it, he even says it’s one of the best papercraft models he made so far! ;o)
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
22-08-2012: The Star Trek runabout that Neil built, is actually the repainted version that Paragon made from my original, hand drawn one.
But Neil went even a little bit further than that: the runabouts are kind of the workhorses in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and one of their features was that they could swap out the middle-section of the ship, so that they could always bring the right tools for the job (although I don’t remember if they ever really used that feature on the show?)
Neil wanted to recreate that feature in the paper model, and he used magnets to do so! Unfortunately, the magnets that Neil used were just a little bit too weak, so only the cockpit is removable on his build.
But I think the idea is solid and with stronger magnets, it should work great! ;o)
For more pictures and to see how he did it, you can check out the post on his own weblog here: link
And if you want to see some of Neil’s other Star Trek posts and papercraft models he built, you can use this link: link
Thank you for building a (repainted ;o) Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
19-08-2012: In this new picture that Azeral sent me, you can recognize some of my Legend of Zelda models, and some other papercraft models as well!
Of course you can recognize Fierce Deity Link, and not one but two Twilight Princess Zora armor Links (according to Azeral, one of them is a little old and needs a stick: ZaL 1 | ZaL 2 ;o)
His friends at school were very impressed with the paper models he built, so he likes to keep building them!
There are lots of other papercraft websites on the internet nowadays of course, and as you can see in the group picture, Azeral also built the boxing robot Noisy Boy from the Real Steel movie and a paper toy of Soul Eater Evans from the Soul Eater anime: Noisy Boy | Soul Eater Evans
I think Azarel did a great job on his paper models so far, and he’s already planning on building new models! ;o)
23-10-2011: Azeral sent me this picture of Twilight Princess’ Zora armor Link fighting a mechanical chick! (an evil cucco bomb perhaps…?)
ZaL isn’t the only paper model that Azeral built, though!
In this picture, you can see his Fierce Deity Link, and here is ZaL‘s brother! (and isn’t that Midna‘s helmet in the background in this picture…? ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
02-08-2012: Dan just started papercrafting, building with a few simple, “blocky” models before moving on to my Tomb Raider T-Rex trophy.
After that, he decided to build my Battlestar Galactica Viper Mk.II, of which you can see the picture above! ;o)
He was using 60 lb paper for his papercraft Viper, and he was making such good progress, that he skipped making the reinforcing, internal framework out of heavier cardboard, but as you can see, it turned out very good! ;o)
Check out Dan’s Imgur’s gallery for a few more pictures: link
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
05-07-2012: Wolf Link is one of the most challenging papercraft models I made so far, especially the head.
Not only can wolf Link’s “hair” be quite confusing if you don’t take your time, but some of the parts (like the teeth) are *really* small!
Ancaleon totally agrees (in her words, “the teeth were INSANE!”)
Nonetheless, she persevered, and in three weeks time, she built her own papercraft wolf Link, and it looks great! (even the teeth ;o)
She used 176 gsm paper, but she’s kinda sorry she used a laser printer to print the templates, because some of the ink rubbed off at the creases, which she then had to touch up with a marker.
But all in all, she’s satisfied with the result, and who wouldn’t be? ;o)
If you want to see a bigger picture of Ancaleon’s papercraft wolf Link, or want to see her wonderful Pokémon drawings, head over quickly to her DeviantArt account here: link
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
23-06-2012: Andrew has been papercrafting for about 4 years, ever since he found my Majora’s Mask young Link papercraft model. ;o)
He built a few of other papercraft models of mine before, but the pictures he sent me are of his favourite one, the King of Red Lions!
It’s Andrew’s personal favourite, and I can totally understand that, because he put in a lot of extra work to make it look as great as it does. ;o)
He built it over a period of about two years, off and on in between other projects, and he used the papercraft Link and sea base that Josh Darrah made (it isn’t completely finished yet, but Andrew sent me the picture anyway: link ;o)
But Andrew went even further, making other small edits like the expression on Link’s face (picture) and he used markers to colour the white edges of the parts, so he wouldn’t get “white lines” on his model.
It was a lot of extra work, but it was definitely worth it: the King of Red Lions is now the proud centerpiece of his papercraft collection so far! ;o)
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
22-06-2012: What started as a digital repaint of my Star Trek Danube-class runabout, quickly became a big project with Paul not only repainting the parts, but also tweaking them to get the model exactly the way he wanted: picture
Some parts even took him several tries to get them *just* right (picture) and what’s more, he included markings for 14 (!) different versions! But there’s so much to tell about this repaint, you should really visit Paul’s Rosco Files weblog to read all about it: link
Parts and instructions to build your own repainted version are available here (together with my original hand drawn version) and on Paul’s own weblog here.
Have fun building! ;o)
17-11-2011: Paul McCool built my Star Trek Danube-class runabout “Rubicon” (picture) for a reason.
If you visited my papercraft Star Trek page, you might recognize his name: he repainted my Type-10 shuttlecraft “Chaffee” before, and now he is doing the same for my “Rubicon”!
As you can see, he built my original version first, and was surprised (shocked? ;o) to see how big it was (apparantly, it’s almost as big as the studio model! ;o)
And he’s not just repainting it, he’s doing a lot more than that! You can read up on it on his own weblog, The Rosco Files: link
It’s not quite done yet, but if while you wait you want to get an idea of what you can expect, have a look at the “Chaffee”: link
Stay tuned! ;o)
Thank you for building (and repainting ;o) a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
18-06-2012: Many Zelda fans like my papercraft model of young Link from Majora’s Mask, and personally, I think it’s because its “blocky” appearance makes it look like he jumped right from the screen onto your desk! ;o)
This one was built by thouartodd, and he even scaled it down to half its original size before building it.
It made some small parts a bit more difficult, but he did a great job: as you can see, young Link is looking great from all angles:
picture 2 | picture 3 | picture 4
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
13-06-2012: Paul from That’s PS! Nerdcrafting and more loves to make well… all kinds of nerdy crafts. ;o)
When he wanted to make a Battlestar Galactica themed craft, he came across my papercraft Cylon Raider and decided to try out it.
Thinking all the parts were already made and he only had to cut them out and glue them together, it took him a lot longer than he expected…! (“13 hours…” ;o)
In fact, his first try was “not a success” at all… But he didn’t give up, and the second time around he used the things he learned from his first attempt to avoid any more big problems.
And as you can see, all his hard work paid off! His papercraft Cylon Raider looks great and I’m sure it will get a nice place amongst all of Paul’s other nerdy things! ;o)
For more pictures and the the full story (and even a video review) on Paul’s Cylon Raider build, you can go to his That’s PS! Nerdcrafting and more weblog here: link
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
29-05-2012: After building her first papercraft model only a little while ago, Floriaski already built 2 new ones!
Or rather, you could say she built 3 new ones, because as you can see, one of them is Link riding Epona, which is actually two models in one I guess. ;o)
The other new model that Floriaski built, is Majora’s Mask itself: picture
It’s a small and relatively simple model, but a lot of people seem to like building it. Or maybe the voices they start hearing after they’ve stared into the mask’s eyes too long tell them they have to build it…?
If you can pull yourself away from the mesmerizing stare of Majora’s Mask long enough, you can find the bigger pictures and more artwork in Floriaski’s DeviantArt gallery: link
23-05-2012: Floriaski really likes the Zelda series, so one day, she decided to built my young Link papercraft model: picture
It’s the first papercraft model she ever made, so she used the version with fold lines to make it a little easier for herself.
I think she did a great job, and maybe she will build more paper models now? ;o) But only if she can find the time of course, because she also likes to draw a lot!
If you want to see Floriaski’s drawings, you should definately check out her DeviantArt gallery: link
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
16-05-2012: Michaela from Studio of M.M built my papercraft King of Red Lions boat from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and took him to the beach for some beautiful pictures! ;o)
It took her about 50 hours to complete (including the alternative sea base-stand made by Josh Darrah) using 65 lbs cardstock for strength, because it is quite a big model (the biggest one I made so far!)
Here’s another, full picture of Michaela’s King of Red Lions build, and on her weblog Studio of M.M you can see several more great pictures, and of the other papercraft models she built as well: link
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
11-05-2012: AseraRose hadn’t been able to do much papercrafting because of school and work, but now she finally finished a new one: Super Smash Bros. Melee Link!
I think it’s the most challenging model I made so far because it has so many tiny parts, but AseraRose found it “relatively easy” and only the fingers were “a bit finicky”! ;o)
I guess building all those other Zelda models gave her lots of experience to build this one: Aserarose says building the hands on her other Link made it a lot easier to make Melee Link’s hands too!
In fact, the most difficult parts she found were the guard and pommel on the Master Sword, but all in all, she enjoyed building Super smash Bros Melee Link and the base for him to stand on, and I think she can be really proud of the result!
13-07-2010: AseraRose sent me a couple of pictures of the papercraft Zelda models that she built.
She found the head and hair of wolf Link pretty difficult to make because the parts kept coming apart, but she solved that by taping the glueing tabs inside the body.
And to prevent Midna’s head falling off, she stuck a toothpick down her neck (it’s a good thing paper models feel no pain I guess… ;o)
But AseraRose built more models! From Twilight Princess, she also made Zora armor Link, and from Majora’s Mask, she built Fierce Deity Link.
And last but not least, she also made Link’s nemesis, Ganondorf, from Ocarina of Time. Here’s a picture of these three models together.
AseraRose is already thinking about building another model, so maybe we’ll see more of her builds in the future!
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
09-05-2012: This neat collage of the papercraft Advance Wars Blue Moon Recon was made by FeastOfFlesh335, who built several of my papercraft Advance Wars units.
The Blue Moon Recon is a little bit tricky, because there is not a whole lot of room for the two little soldiers inside the jeep, but FeastOfFlesh335 did a great job!
Other Advance Wars units that he built include the Black Hole Stealth Fighter and the Orange Star and Green Earth Tanks. You can see the pictures of those builds (and several more realistic tanks and other papercraft models!) in his DeviantArt gallery: link
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
08-05-2012: This impressive wolf Link build was done by Tatsuya-Amaterasu (a.k.a. Paula-san).
All in all, it took her one month to build it, and the hardest part was the mouth, because of the tiny teeth and the tongue.
But she did it, and the end result looks great!
And talking about things that look great, be sure to check out Paula’s DeviantArt gallery for some of her drawings: link
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
27-04-2012: Elengwat built this papercraft Enterprise-D, the starship from the famous captain Picard from the TV show Star Trek: The Next Generation, as a gift to his brother.
Of course his brother liked the gift, which is not surprising because Elengwat did a great job on the small, thin parts that give the Enterprise-D its distinctive shape: picture 2
In Elengwat DeviantArt’s gallery you can find the other pictures he made of the Enterprise-D (link) and lots more artwork: link
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
17-04-2012: Florian (alias Dornogol) built my Advance Wars Yellow Comet Rocket unit!
The mechanism to move the rocket tubes up and down is quite tricky to build on this unit, and although everything moved fine at first, Florian used toothpicks to lock them in place.
And despite some trouble with the small binoculars, Florian did a great job building the little soldier too! ;o)
He says he’s confident to build more complex models now, and I’m sure he can! If you have a look at his DeviantArt gallery, you can see he already has lots of experience doing paper models and other art projects: link
Earlier, he even built my Kingdom Hearts Sora and Oogie Boogie; you can see a picture of them together with some MineCraft models and Tubbypaws dioramas here: picture
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
02-04-2012: Here’s the first papercraft Batman for the hall of fame!
As you can see, it’s the Animated Series version with the blue cape (I also made a New Batman Adventures version with a black cape).
Lionel’s papercraft Batman looks great, and he tells me he had a lot of fun building it, but he did assemble it in a slightly different order than I did in the instructions:
– Lionel found it easier to glue the torso to the legs *before* glueing on the head.
– And he also found it easier to glue the hands to the arms *before* glueing the arms to the torso.
I always base the part numbers and instructions on the way I assemble the paper models myself, but if you find it easier to do it a different way like Lionel, don’t hesitate to experiment a bit of course! ;o)
28-03-2010: Lionel from France sends me this great picture of Ganondorf: picture
But besides that one, he also built young Link and young princess Zelda!
He tells me he found them challenging to make, but that the end result was worth it (“awesome !!!”, in his own words ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
22-02-2012: Terry from Saskatchewan, Canada made this “Delta Flyer” for the Star Trek diorama he made for his home theater!
I think from the picture, you can already see that’s a little bit different than usual; that’s because it’s not made from paper, but from plastic window blinds!
Using the parts from my papercraft “Delta Flyer” as reference, Terry re-created the shapes using scrap pieces of 2 inches wide window blinds which he heated to they could be bent into the right shapes: picture 2 | picture 3
With baseboard putty, he filled the seams between the window blind pieces, and after a good sanding, he painted the “Delta Flyer” in the appropriate colours: picture 4
He added a lot of nice details to his plastic “Delta Flyer” (he even added lighting!) and the result looks really great: picture 5 | picture 6
For many more pictures of this wonderful build, you can see Terry’s Photobucket gallery here: link
Thank you for downloading and building a Ninjatoes’ pape… ehm, window blinds model! ;o)
13-02-2012: This wonderful One Piece “Going Merry” boat was built by SayanMk!
If you look closely, you can see a little secret: because SayanMk didn’t have a colour printer, he printed the parts in black and white, and then coloured all the parts by hand with colour pencils!
I think it looks really great and SayanMk is really proud of it, because it was the first complicated paper model he built!
You can see many more pictures of the process in SayanMk’s Picasa’s album: link
Since then, SayanMk has also built other the papercraft “Mini Merry” (link) and the “Thousand Sunny” (link).
He used the same technique of printing the parts in black and white and then colouring them with colour pencils as he did on the “Going Merry“.
You can find a picture of the three ships here, but SayanMk also made an extensive post about it on his own website with a lot more pictures, which is definately worth checking out: link
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
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!
