January 4th 2025 I had a big stroke…
I lived, but have to go through a long recovery
to see what I can still do in the future…
Hopefully it will be a lot…! 👍 Always keep having fun papercrafting!
Which papercraft model would you like to build?
“What’s papercraft?” you ask?
Well, that’s when (in this case ;o) you download and print a page of 2D parts (preferably on some thicker paper) cut them out and fold them, and then glue them together to make your very own 3D paper model of your favourite game/anime/movie character/whatever you like!
There are a lot of websites where you can find free templates to download and build, including my own one of course which you’re visiting right now. ;o)
Currently, I have two-hundred-and-thirty-seven (237!) free papercraft models in stock for you! :o) Select one of the Download categories above or in the Site map to the right to find the model you wish to download (if it’s not in one of the obvious categories, try the miscellaneous section).
If you want to contact me, or send me a picture of your finished paper model for the hall of fame, you can send me an e-mail at ninjatoes@home.nl and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Have fun building!

I messed up on the mountain and valley folds on the hood and it threw the neck angle off, so I’m gonna reprint it.
Just printed it, had some fun “deconstructing” Sora’s body version.1…
It’s really easy to mix up mountain folds and valley folds, and if doesn’t look obviously wrong when you test-fit the parts without glue first, you often don’t realize the mistake until after you’ve glued the parts together already… ;o)
But like you say, if you’re careful in prying apart the faulty parts, the beauty of downloadable papercraft models is that you can always print a new part and try again!
Have fun (re)building!
Yah, the only part slightly damaged was the belt, but that’ll be covered up by the new part 38.
I recommend that tutorials about what you said?
I think the part that most people have trouble with is the 3D editing part (unfolding the model in Pepakura Designer is pretty straight forward and self-explaining).
Most 3D software has a dedicated website with forums, where you can find a lot of useful information (and the help-files that come with most software are usually very underrated, so I recommend checking those as well! ;o)
Other than that, it is really just a matter of experimentation and getting more experience, the best way to learn any new software I think! ;o)
hi, i was wondering how do you make a pdf (i think thats how its called) print in an a4 sheet of paper cause i have a lot of cardstock in that size but when i want to print your models some parts dont print because the sheet is to short
what do i do?
When you’re printing the sheets, go to printer options, and there should be one that specifies the paper size. Set it to A4 and have fun building!
Like Kupo already said, if your printer normally uses US Letter size paper, first make sure it is set to use A4 paper instead of course. Many PDF readers will detect it automatically from the PDF file itself, but’s it’s always good to make sure of that if you’re having problems of course. ;o)
Secondly, most PDF readers will have an option to set the page scaling: in Adobe Reader, you have several options, if you select “None”, the reader will print the file at 100% regardless of the printer and paper margins.
So to make sure everything fits on the paper, you need to select a different option, like “Fit to Printable Area”. For me, the files usually print at 97%, but it might be different for you depending on your printer and paper margins.
I hope this helps, good luck and have fun building!
Is Sora’s neck connected to the head like ZaL’s head, or like Alice’s head? I really don’t wanna mess up this one, so I want to do everything like it was meant to.
It’s just like ZaL’s head: you simple place the head over the neck and glue it down (if you want to ;o)
You reached 100 comments! Wooh!
Ack! I mean 1000 comments!
Haha, yeah, but almost half of them are my own responses so it’s really only about 500. ;o)
Happy 500th comment, then!
Since no toys have ever been made. I would LOVE to see a starfox ARWING papercraft. Great work btw! Imcurrently working on young Link. Just finished the Head and cap PHEW!
http://nintendopapercraft.blogspot.com/2008/05/arwing-4.html
Looks like nick beat me to it, I don’t know if I’ll ever get around to making an Arwing myself, but the Nintendo Papercrafts site has several papercraft versions available, including an old one out of a Nintendo magazine!
Glueing together the head and cap of young Link is a challenging step, I’m sure you will be able to finish the rest too! ;o)
Have fun building!
i cannot download the viper mark II, why?
do you have adobe acrobat? you need it to open pdf’s
Hm, I’m not sure; the download links seem to be working fine for me…
Like nick said, the files are in Portable Document Format (PDF), so you need to have a PDF reader installed in order to be able to open them. If you have, they should open in your browser window, but you can also right-click and save them to your computer and then open them offline.
Also, try emptying your internet cache and deleting your temporary internet files, then closing and restarting your browser so your browser isn’t trying to open an earlier, bad temporary version.
I hope this helps, let me know if you can get get it to work! ;o)
If I asked you what your favourite part of the whole designing/building stage was, what would you say?
Actually glueing the parts together after having cut and folded them is the best part of course. ;o)
Same with me, I like seeing the model start to take shape.
glueing is my favorite part to. I hate cutting.
how to use the exported Metasequoia as my role models that show?
You mean how to make the 3D model ready for unfolding in Pepakura Designer? Well, that’s really just a matter of practice and experience.
You will have to practice to learn how to use the 3D software, and by building lots and lots of paper models and making your own ones, your experience will help you come up with your own ideas on how to make them in such a way, that you think they will be fun to build! ;o)
What programs are used to make my own papercraft project and then upload to the Internet so that after my papercraft to download for free?
And how I program it to set it up?
I made some of my models by hand, scanning the images to my computer. The computer made models were done with Pepakura Designer, a computer software program that can unfold a 3D model (I use a program called Metasequoia for most of my 3D modelling, but you can really use any 3D software that you like) into 2D templates.
There are a lot of websites and forums about 3D modelling and even papercraft nowadays that can explain things a lot better and more elaborate than I can here, and on the Pepakura Designer website there’s a brief explanation of the process with some links to more tutorials.
The easiest way to share your models online is by making a weblog on Blogger for example, and then uploading your work to a file host (like Megaupload, 4Shared, or one of the many others).
