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!

Your crafts are awesome !!!
Thank you, I’m glad you like ’em! ;o)
Have fun building!
There is snow on your website. :D
That’s how cold it is over here! Even our websites are getting snowed over…! ;o)
i made one of your papercrafts and it was a success! i keep it in a jar (i always manage to get it wet then it turns into a blot of greenish purple on the colors :c ) also for preserving reasons hardcore crafter!! :D have you ever gotten your crafts wet?
Yeah sometimes… ;o) When I leave the window open just a little bit, sometimes the wind blows small raindrops remarkably far into the room… ;o)
Some people use a glazing/varnish spray to protect their models from small drops of water, but I guess a jar does the trick too! ;o)
¡Nice Mario model for your 100th anniversary! :D
Thanks, I’m glad you like it! I’m pretty excited to see how it will turn out too. ;o)
where can i get the supply tool to create the link from the majoras mask version??
Do you mean the parts and instructions to download? Because it’s a Legend of Zelda model, they’re in the Legend of Zelda section of course: link
You’ll need a PDF reader to open and print PDF files of course. ;o)
As for the tools like glue, a craft’s knife and a cutting mat, most department stores sell them, the paper/cardstock you can usually find there too, and if not, try the store where you buy your regular printer paper.
Even if they don’t have thicker paper in stock, they can usually order it.
Have fun building!
What is going to be your 100th papercraft? :D
Well, I’ve been thinking about that for a while already, and although it will be just another paper model like all the other ones of course, I think it will be very suited one. ;o)
I won’t spoil the surprise yet, but I will make an announcement on my weblog when I start on it, so stay tuned!
Thank you brother. :D
hey.. did you see my link papercraft in facebook.? i tagged you.. i hope you’d put it in the hall of fame section thingy.. thanks!
I sure did see it: hall of fame
Poor Bowser… ;o)
hello :)
I have the SketchUp, it is very easy to use, but my question is how to export the model format 3ds, obj, etc.?
and textures as improvements?
Well, it depends on which version of SketchUp you are using: the free version for home/personal use does not allow exporting of *.3ds, *.obj, … models…
There is a workaround for this, though: you can download a SketchUp Pro trial version which you can use for about 8 hours (fortunately not 8 hours after downloading it, but 8 hours of actually using it ;o)
So this means, that you could create a SketchUp model in your free version, and then only open it in the trial version to quickly export it as an *.obj or *.3ds file.
That way, you can use export a lot of models in that 8 hours!
You can find this information on the SketchUp site here: SketchUp / SketchUp Pro comparison
You will see that the free version does allow you to export your models in Google Earth *.kmz format (which Pepakura Designer can also open: Compatibility with 3D CG Software
As you can see, it only supports Google Earth *4* *.kmz files though, and although SketchUp is very easy to use, this also makes importing complex SketchUp models directly in Pepakura Designer often a bit… troublesome… ;o)
As for textures: if you open a textured model in SketchUp, you can open the material window (Window -> Materials or just click on the “Paint Bucket” tool) and from the dropdown menu, you can choose “In model”, so you can see all the texture images that are being used in the current model.
Then you can right-click on them, and choose “Export texture image” (don’t forget that solid colours are *not* textures, so you can’t export those!)
If you export the model as a *.kmz file, I think all the texture info is contained in that file. If you export it as a *.3ds or *.obj file, the textures are exported seperately as the original images.
Even though SketchUp really is a vey easy 3D program to get started, you still need to invest a lot of time to really get the hang of it…!
SketchUp has a very wide user base, though, and there are lots of tutorials to help you: http://sketchup.google.com/training/videos.html
So be sure to invest a lot of time just playing around with the program, finding out what all the buttons do, and to search around in various forums around the web, where you can find lots more help than I can give you in a short reply here…!
Good luck and have fun!
hello i was wondering if you could make a paper model from dante’s inferno the video game perferably dante
And I still have yet to do a Dante from Devil May Cry…! ;o)
I haven’t played Dante’s Inferno myself, actually, so I can’t promise you anything, but you never know I guess? ;o)
Hi ( again) I’m interested in 1 thing , what paper it’s good for make this models? ( I use normal paper but you see King of red lions , this paper don’t stand because it’s “loose” I see someone use paper of 160g. , please I need a advice…
Although some people do use regular printer paper (usually about 75-80 gsm) I always use 200 gsm paper myself.
It’s about 2.5 times as thick as regular paper so the final model will be nice and strong. 160 gsm is lighter than 200 gsm of course, but still about 2 times as thick as regular paper.
The thicker the paper, the more expensive it is of course, so you should try one kind out some time and see if you like it. ;o)
Have fun building!
