Link & Epona by London Reinhard

31-01-2010: London Reinhard built this Link and Epona, and I think it looks mighty fine! But don’t take my word for it, here’s a picture of the other side, so you can judge by yourself. ;o)

Although not the first, it was London’s most time consuming papercraft model to date, taking at least 12 hours to build. But if you ask me, it was time well spent!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Zora armor Link by Jon and Hayley the papercraft couple

02-04-2010: Jon and Hayley have really been busy with their papercraft hobby, and now they even made their own Papercraft Couple weblog where you can see even more pictures and videos of all the paper models they built!

29-01-2010: Look at what I received in my mail today! It’s a very clean build of Zora armor Link, done by Hayley.

She and her boyfriend Jon love papercraft (and eachother ;o) so much that they decided to make a Deviantart account about their joined hobby, fittingly called “the papercraft couple“. ;o)

Hop over there and you’ll see they made many more paper models already, but what did you expect? There’s two of them! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Super Smash Bros. Melee Link by Werety

28-01-2010: You guys never fail to amaze me! I consider SSB:M Link one of the most challenging models on my website, but Werety built this one when he was only eleven!

And he did a very good job too! There are a lot of very small parts, so it must have taken Werety a lot of work and patience to get an end result as great as this!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Clocktown Schnauzer by Zach Mears

17-10-2009: With a brother like Aaron Mears, it’s not hard to imagine how Zach also got hooked on papercraft! ;o)

This time, he’s sending in his own build: no, that’s not some random dog that walked in front of the camera when Zach was trying to take a picture of the car; that’s Zach’s Clocktown Schnauzer!

Although the picture is a bit blurry, you can still see he did a pretty good job! And from the sounds of it, Zach is only just getting started… ;o)

19-12-2009: in a stroke of what I can only describe as madness, Zach attempted to build the evil Red Hollow Cylinder model… (picture)

I can only hope that The Cylinder will have some mercy on him now that it’s almost Christmas…

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

Hero of Twilight by Truffles

15-12-2009: Only a few days after I finally finished it, Nathan “Truffles” Richards already sends me a picture of his completed Hero Clothes Link from Twilight Princess.

Nathan has been papercrafting for about a year now, but he says this is his best one yet – and I must say that it does look outstanding!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Zora armor Link v2 by Toni Müller

12-12-2009: I intentionally made Zora armor Link and Hero outfit Link the same scale, so people could “mix and match” the sword and shield.

And that’s exactly what Toni did!

But he didn’t stop there; he also cut a hole in the face of Zora armor Link and replaced part of the face with that of Hero outfit Link, so that the black mask isn’t covering his mouth anymore!

And if you look carefully, you can also see that Toni added a little extra detail by cutting out little triangles from the top and bottom of the armor, to make it look even more “scale-like” like it does in the game.

With the edge colouring and these extra details, I think Toni can be really proud of the way his paper model turned out!

He also made a small slide show this time, so be sure to check it out on his YouTube channel!

06-11-2009: Here’s a new picture from Toni Müller! This time it’s young Link from Majora’s Mask!

22-07-2009: Toni Müller built this Zora armor Link in about 15 hours and although he said there were some parts that confused him a bit, I would never had guessed if he hadn’t told me, because that build already looked great as well!

Though being pulled from his comfy virtual world into the real world may sound exciting for an adventurer like Link, but it does require some adjusting…

Here, Toni tried to explain Link that rupees are no good in the real world and that you need coins!

Link looked a bit baffled, and although I don’t know the current exchange rate between rupees and Euros, it’s enough to make ZaL’s head explode! (amongst other things…)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Midna by GoGirl786

20-11-2009: GoGirl786 sent me this picture of the Midna she built back in February already, when she just started papercrafting. I think it looks pretty good, what you? ;o)

GoGirl786 has a YouTube channel with several… crazy vids (I really don’t know how else to describe them… ;o) so be sure to check them out!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Orange Star MD Tank by Ricardo J. Souza

05-11-2009: Ricardo wanted to share his retouched version of this Orange Star MD Tank with you! You can download a ZIP-file with the parts here (938 kB)

18-08-2008: Ricardo Junglos from Brazil sends in this picture of an Orange Star MD Tank.

It’s the first model he built from my site, and although he wouldn’t say it’s perfect, he thinks it’s “90%” and he wants to do better next time. But the important thing is that he had fun building it!

Thank you for building this Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

One Piece “Going Merry” by Aya

10-10-2009: Aya from the Philippines tells me she has become addicted to watching/reading One Piece, and building papercraft models

And now she has combined her addictions!

Aya made this “Going Merry” within a week, but she has also done some other ones which you can see in her DeviantArt gallery: solitary-Aya

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

Link & Epona by Adam Kozlowski

28-09-2009: Looking ready to ride right onto your desk from the computer screen are Link and Epona, built by Adam Kozlowski!

They’re on a shelf in Adam’s bedroom now, after he built them during the summer. He used 160 gsm paper and I don’t know if they were the first papercraft models he made, but I think they look really good: picture 2 | picture 3

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Cloud Strife by s0ur

06-09-2009: s0ur had mostly been building Cubeecrafts when he found my website, and he just *had* to build Kingdom Hearts Cloud! ;o)

Cloud is a bit more complex than a Cubeecraft of course, and s0ur tells me he had a hard time figuring out how to glue together the hair, but you wouldn’t say so from the pictures I think, because it looks really well done!

But maybe you can tell “the other secret”? ;o)

The bottom half of this model was built using a glue stick, but s0ur switched to Elmer’s Regular White Glue for the other half, because it just works much easier. ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Zora armor Link by Andrew

23-08-2009: The picture of Zora armor Link that you can see above was sent to me by Andrew.

He’s a really big Zelda fan, as this picture proves: besides ZaL, he also built Ganondorf (that was the first one he made) young Link, Oni Link, the Clock Town Schnauzer and Epona.

He’s getting the hang of it more and more, so it’s nice to hear he’s having so much fun building them!

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Cloud Strife by Matthew Lowe

09-08-2009: Matthew Lowe made a few smaller papercraft models first before attempting my Cloud Strife model, and I guess all that practice payed off because Cloud looks wonderful!

If you’re thinking “he looks a bit bigger than usual?” then you could be right, because Matthew printed him on A3 paper instead of A4; now Cloud’s Buster sword is really huge…! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

3,5m American McGee’s Alice by Victor

19-08-2009: it looks like Alice donned her classic look for the festival! If you want to see more pictures of Carrer de Bruniquer transformed into Alice’s Wonderland, check out Victor’s slide show of the festival here (Google has dismissed the Picasa webalbums unfortunately)

03-08-2009: If you happen to be in Barcelona during the Festa Major de Gràcia this year (15-21 August 2009) then be sure to visit Carrer de Bruniquer: in this street, you will be able to encounter a 3,5 meter tall incarnation of my American McGee’s Alice model!

Victor and several people from Barcelona’s Gràcia district are making it as part of the decorations for the festival for their street, which will have an Alice in Wonderland theme.

They’re making it out of cardboard, because even thicker paper won’t be strong enough for a model this big! To enlarge the parts from the original model, they projected the parts onto a wall and traced them with a marker.

You can imagine it’s a big project, so not something Victor can do on his own; but when it comes to preparing for a party, you’ll find there will always be people willing to lend a helping hand: picture 1 | picture 2 ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model and have fun partying! ;o)

Yuna by Peter Hoflack

29-07-2009: Built with just regular printer paper, Peter sends me a picture of his papercraft Yuna!

She looks pretty neat, although Peter was a bit concerned about using just regular printer paper: I use 200 gsm paper myself, which is thicker than most people seem to use though (160 gsm, which is about twice as thick as regular paper as opposed to 2.5 times).

But in the end, it’s just a matter of personal preference, to get the results you want (like this great looking Yuna! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Wolf Link by Symon

12-07-2009: Symon shows off his incredible papercraft talent again! This time he built Midna to keep wolf Link company (picture) and although he did have some trouble glueing on the head, he did an amazing job building the King of Red Lions! (picture) It looks like a very clean build, as well as Josh’s Great Sea base!

15-05-2009: It’s actually been a while since anyone sent me a picture of their wolf Link, but here’s a new one then, done by Symon from Switzerland!

It’s the version *with* lines, but as many people already found out, the textures are pretty dark so you can hardly see the dotted lines. ;o)

The teeth and the earring are probably some of the smallest and most difficults parts I ever made on one of my models, but Symon did an amazing job I think! (even though it was a bit difficult; the folds on that earring *really* are tiny! ;o)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Fierce Deity Link by Stacy

08-07-2009: Although Fierce Deity Link was one of the first models she downloaded, Stacy got so distracted with all kinds of other models that she only recently finished it!

In the end, it took her about a day to build. You can see one of Stacy’s other models in this picture, namely one of Kaizo’s Sephiroths. I had no idea it was so huge! But I don’t think Link is much impressed by its size… ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Tomb Raider diorama by Elso

10-07-2009: for those of you who don’t want to have to sign up to see how Elso made this wonderful diorama, he kindly made a seperate gallery where you can see the rest of the pictures: Elso’s Photobucket

08-07-2009: Maybe you already know Elso from his life sized papercraft Terminator endoskeleton build on his weblog, but I didn’t know he was also a Tomb Raider fan!

You can see he has been very creative with my Venice motorboat and great white shark, and several of Sascha’s papercraft models as well (that swimming Lara is actually Sascha’s “Dead Lara” – but with that shark so closeby, I guess that’s only a matter of time… ;o)

He explains how he made this diorama at the Spanish speaking Modelos de Papel forum, but you have to be a member to see it… But after seeing this I’m sure you have lots of ideas of your own as well! Here are some more pictures for inspiration: picture 2 | picture 3 | picture 4

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Zelda models by Eileena

04-07-2009: Eileena sends me this wonderful group shot of several of my Zelda models!

Of course you recognize young Link and princess Zelda, and adult Link and Epona, posing nicely for the picture.

I wonder what’s got the little Clock Town Schnauzer so interested though; maybe there’s some fish hidden in that Twilight Princess pot over there? ;o)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Nintendo NES Zapper by Night-ShadeX

19-06-2009: Night_ShadeX only recently got into papercraft, and one of the models he built is my NES Zapper.

He made it as a prop for a Captain N costume, so now  all he has to do is to build a nice NES gamepad belt buckle, and he’s all set! Maybe he’ll even post some pictures on his DeviantArt? ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Link & Epona by Trarsheise

15-06-2009: Link looks very intimidating from this angle! Trarsheise from Spain was actually looking for some information about the anime One Piece, and when he found the papercraft “Going Merry”  boat on my site, he also discovered my Zelda section!

Being a big Ocarina of Time fan, he decided to build my Link & Epona models: picture

It was his first papercraft model, and I think he did a fantastic job! Of course everyone has the right to their own opinion, but jumping off a cliff on horseback is a bit exaggerated…! ;o)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Delta Flyer by Cedric

12-06-2009: Cedric is a big science fiction fan, so it’s no surprise that he likes building papercraft starships!

He built three so far, the “Delta Flyer” you can see above from my own website, and the Miranda-class U.S.S. Reliant and a simple Borg cube from SF Paper Craft Gallery.

You can see a few more pictures at Cedric’s homepage: link

There are a lot more Star Trek and other science fiction papercraft models out there on the internet, so Cedric might do another one soon…

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Oni Link by vert092

07-06-2009: This time, I received a whole lot of pictures from vert092, and a lot of them weren’t even from one of my models! ;o)

You recognize my Oni Link of course, but vert092 also built Icthus7’s Sheik model and he tells me it’s about the same scale as my Oni Link. And here is a picture of Sheik admiring Oni Link’s double helix sword! ;o)

Two other models vert092 built are Ike (made by RedYoshi over here) and Lyn (made by Haywan Chiu from PaperCraft Museum) from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Cloud Strife by Steven C.

01-06-2009: No, Steven from NC, USA didn’t just build half of Cloud; here’s the rest of him! ;o)

It’s not the only paper model he made, he also made Sane_Person’s Vincent, Billybob’s Futurama suicide booth, and he even paperfied two of his own original characters (Clo and Blade) using FF7 papercraft models as a basis, which you can see here alongside Cloud.

Although he describes himself as mainly a spriter and “sort-of author” (you can see some of his work in his DeviantArt gallery) he’s very proud of his “all time favorite papercraft!” – and I am proud of that. ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Wolf Link and Midna by TABKAP

26-05-2009: These wolf Link and Midna models were built by TABKAP.

Midna only took him about 2 days, but wolf Link took him over 3 weeks. Not only because that one just is much more difficult, but also because he didn’t have as much time as he did with Midna because school already started again…

Don’t you just hate it when everyday life gets in the way of the stuff you really want to do…? ;o)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Clock Town Schnauzer by Jeroen

18-05-2009: Whew, I’m getting *a lot* of pictures from people for my hall of fame recently! (that’s not a complaint, by the way! ;o)

Jeroen from Rosmalen in the Netherlands is a big Zelda fan that has only just discovered papercraft, and he only built two simple models yet: one of them being my Clock Town Schnauzer!

The other one is “Nook’s Cranny”, the small shop from Animal Crossing (you can get it and several other Animal Crossing models from Nintendo Papercraft).

Both of them look great, and I hope he’ll have lots of fun building more paper models! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

SSB:M Link by Abscissa

10-05-2009: I came across her Majora’s Mask, princess Zelda, and young Link on DeviantArt, but Abscissa now sent me a picture of the SSB:M Link she built as well!

SSB:M Link is definately one of my more difficult models, but I think she did a great job! She used regular paper, a pair of scissors, toothpicks and regular glue for her earlier models, but decided to try out cardstock and an X-Acto knife for this one.

Besides papercraft, Abscissa also loves origami and drawing. In her own words: “if I have paper, I’ll never be bored!” ;o)

Be sure to check out her DeviantArt gallery!

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Majora’s Mask young Link by Joseph Rosenbaum

06-05-2009: Since Young Link from Majora’s Mask, Joseph is already working on my papercraft version of Cloud, using the edge coloring technique I explained earlier in one of my YouTube video tutorials.

And he seems a pretty quick builder too, since he already finished Cloud’s legs as you can see here: picture

I guess he wasn’t kidding when he said “I just started papercrafting again” ! ;o)

04-05-2009: Joseph Rosenbaum actually built Link some time ago already, but he just started papercrafting again and he decided to sent me the picture now.

You can see the model he was working on behind Link, it’s the Tron light cycle from Jan Rükr’s ALIENS Papercraft site (in the bonus model section). Here’s a full picture: picture

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Majora’s Mask by Nick Parsons

03-05-2009: This Majora’s Mask is the first papercraft model that Nick ever built!

He had to use a glue that was “less sticky and firm” than what he would like to have used, but it is still a very good build I think!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Clock Town Schnauzer by AvangerBTK

25-04-2009: When AvangerBTK found my paper models, he sent me a message saying he would send me a picture of the first one he would make.

And here it is! It’s the Clock Town Schnauzer from the Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask!

It took him about 2 hours to make, with regular printer paper. It turned out great I think, the picture almost makes me want to give it a dog biscuit… ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
