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!

wow this great figure greetings
Thank you, I’m glad you like my paper works! ;o)
I hope you can help me out
Whenever i edit a model and load up it in metasequoia, the textures get messed up & i know nothing on how to fix textures. If you want i can send you the sample file.
For Metasequoia (or any other 3D program) to know how to place the textures on the models, the 3D file will need to have a UV-map (it’s built into the 3D file, and it’s basically a “map” which tells the coordinates how and where the texture file should be placed on the 3D model).
Often this UV map is not there, or it got messed up (sometimes this happens if you extract 3D models from games for example, because the extraction process isn’t perfect). Unfortunately, you would have to fix the UV map by hand if that is the case…
The freeware version of Metasequoia doesn’t have a UV Editor, but the shareware version does: link
Here you can find a Metasequoia texturing tutorial, but you can search around for others too of course: link
You’ll also have to make sure that the textures are in format that Metasequoia can use (*.bmp or *.jpg for instance, they are very common) and that the right paths are set.
If your 3D model indeed has textures, press Ctrl+M to bring up the material panel, and you should see the textures listed. Double click them, and next to “Texture” at the bottom of the new panel, click the “Ref” button, and then browse to where you saved the texture files.
I can’t be sure the problem is one of these two of course, but they’re the most common problems; the second one is easily solved, but the first one is not such an easy fix I’m afraid and requires some experience (and a lot of patience ;o)
nevermind
found that Metasequoia somehow inverted the textures
just used photoshop and created the mirror image of the texture which fixed the problem
Yes, sometimes that happens; when you open a *.obj file in Metasequoia for example (maybe on other filetypes too, but I haven’t tried yet) you have the option the “Invert V of mapping”, that usually fixes it.
You can also “Flip Right and Left” (if the entire model is mirrored) or “Invert Faces” (if the model is inside out) and of course you can also fix these issues manually yourself after you’ve already opened the file.
I’m glad to hear it was an easy fix, have fun making your papercraft model!
hey thank you so much for your information i like your all one-hundred-and-seventeen models.
Thank you, I’m very happy to hear that of course! I enjoyed making them and I still have a lot of ideas, so I hope to make many more in the future! ;o)
(same guy) i made your link on a horse and it turned out great… you know all the times i asked if there was a starfox assault papercraft arwing, if you can,can YOU make some templates for a starfox assault arwing papercraft, i don’t care about how long it takes.i dont even care if it takes 10 months or 10 years.
i know your designing a load of papercrafts right now….
p.s i told my friends about your website now he’s making your papercrafts now :D
p.p.s do you play minecraft?
Hi there!
I’m glad you like your papercraft Epona and Link! I remember you asking me about a “new version” Arwing before, but I’m afraid I still can’t promise you whether I’ll make one…
But if you’re willing to wait 10 years, there is a chance that I will, because I’m a big Nintendo fan. ;o)
But I hope someone will make one earlier than that so you can build it…! ;o) Starfox is still quite popular, and with a lot of Nintendo fans making papercraft models nowadays, there’s a good chance someone will make it, although I don’t know when of course.
I hope your friend will like my paper models too! ;o)
I don’t play Minecraft, but I’m sure you already know that there are also a lot of paper models of it? Over on this forum for example: link but there are lots more Minecraft papercraft sites.
And because the shapes are quite simple, I think there will be many more! ;o)

Hey dude…Your awesome… I’ve just finished making your Cloud Strife paper craft. . . Its a bit different from the one you’ve created but I’m satisfied with the way it look.. .
Do you think you can make Dante of “Devil May Cry 4” papercraft?
I’ll be happy if you think that you can. . .
No need to rush, I know that your busy making designs right now. . .
I just want to thank you for sharing this crafts. .
Now, my friends want to try making one too. . .
I’m happy to hear you like your papercraft Cloud!
Even though people use the same templates and parts, the paper models will always look a little bit different because you have to cut out and build them by hand, and everybody tries to build them the way they want to of course (that’s why it’s so great that paper is so easy to work with for everybody! ;o)
You’re right I’m afraid, I can’t promise you if/when I will make a papercraft Dante (I did play the first Devil May Cry game though, and I liked it ;o)
There was a company called 3Dpaper that made a Devil May Cry 2 Dante some years ago, but it was a commercial, pre-printed kit, and I don’t know if it would be easy to find now anymore…
(this one is out of stock for example: link)
yeah. . . everybody will have a different version of the craft because of doing it by hand. .
By the way dude, can you tell me the software your using in making your designs? I’m just thinking of making one to, and maybe, I can help you produce some templates. .
But, if the software is your secret, its fine with me. . hehehehe. . .
I’m now looking for another craft to start with. .
You should make an Ashe papercraft from FFXII! She was my fav. (:
Although Final Fantasy X is my favourite, I really like all the Final Fantasy games, so there’s definately a big chance that I’ll make some characters from the other games as well in the future!
I can’t promise you which ones or when exactly though, because with all the other ideas I have as well, even I don’t know yet! ;o)
Other people also enjoy making papercraft models from the Final Fantasy Series of course, and there are some FFXII models but no Ashe yet I’m afraid: link :o(
Could you please make an Odolwa Papercraft? Please.
Majora’s Mask is one of my favourite Zelda games, but although I might make a papercraft Odolwa in the future, I’m afraid I can’t promise you if or when exactly right now…
A person called Sora234 actually did make a papercraft Odolwa before, but when I went to check it, the link seemed to be dead: Masked Jungle Warrior Odolwa… :o(
But maybe you can contact the Paperzelda (link) members (where it was posted) to ask if they could send you the files? They are very nice people so I’m sure they won’t mind.
Let me know if you got it!
Hi! Your models are really, really great!!! The most beautiful in the entire web!!! My compliments!!! So, I wanna make you a question! Is it possible make a request about a specific papercraft? I am a big fan of the anime “The Secret of Blue Water”, and I have on my computer some blueprint of the Nautilus, but I don’t know how modeling with 3D programs. If I send you, you could realize papercraft?
Thanks for te attentions!
cheers from Italy
Luca
Thank you, I’m glad you like my paper models!
It takes a lot of time to makeone, though, and because papercraft is only a hobby, I don’t really have a lot of time… :o(
And I’m afraid I already have so many ideas myself, that I can’t do specific requests for other people as well, sorry…
Sometimes I make my paper models by hand from blueprints, and sometimes I first make a 3D model that I can then unfold with Pepakura Designer (link)
There are lots of free 3D programs available nowadays, and if you are willing to take the time learning to use them, you could try making a 3D model to unfold yourself, even though it will be a lot of work…!
I know two people have started a papercraft Nadia Nautilus that way (link and link) but unfortunately I don’t think they finished it…
But the images could help you if you want to try it yourself.
The way by hand is to first use the blueprints to make “ribs” (internal hull structures, kinda like the first pictures in this link: link) in the shape of the hull of the Nautilus, and then bend sheets of paper over them, marking where to cut them with a pencil, and then cut them to size.
That way, you can step by step cover the hull with paper, until you covered it all. Then you can either colour the cut out shapes you made with pencil/markers/paint etc. or scan them so you can “paint” them with a computer program.
It’s also a lot of work of course, but for a lot of people it’s easier because they don’t have to learn to use a 3D program.
I’m sorry I can’t really help you any further with your request, I hope that maybe you can try making it yourself, or that maybe somebody else will make a Nadia Nautilus soon (or maybe I am wrong and one already exists, and you manage to find it! ;o)
(same guy) any starfox papercrafts yet
There are several Star Fox related papercraft models at Nintendo Papercraft for instance, but still no higher detailed Arwing that I know of, sorry…
Thank you for all the papercraft models, especially for those from The Legend of Zelda. My little brother was really happy when I made him one
I’m glad your little brother liked your gift! ;o)
I enjoy making these paper models, and I’m a big Zelda fan myself as well, so I will definitely make some more of them in the future!
