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!
Ninjatoes' papercraft webpage 
Ninjatoes can you please make a model of Pain from Naruto Shippuuden? Please I really want to make pain, please make a model sir.
I’m afraid I already have so many ideas, and only so little time, that I can’t promise to do specific models, sorry… But there are a lot more papercrafters out there nowadays, and I’m sure a lot of them like Naruto too, so maybe somebody will make it some day! ;o)
hi ninjatoes just sayin why isnt the nintendo zapper instructions a pdf? ive downloaded it and it is in photos plz help
Because I host all the files to build my papercraft models on my own, personal webspace, I have to be careful not to use up *too much* webspace… Especially for some of my early models, I put the images in ZIP files, because it takes up less webspace.
But to be honest, all the instructions for all my paper models are in the form of photos, even the PDF ones! ;o)
If you want to put the photos for the Nintendo Zapper in one file too because you find it more convenient, you can simplu copy+paste them into a Word-file for example, and/or make a PDF yourself with a free PDF printer for example.
(same guy) ninjatoes have you found any starfox arwing assault papercrafts yet?
p.s i know about the nintendo papercraft website ones
No, sorry; I still haven’t found any new Arwing papercraft models… :o(
too bad… can you plz plz plz design some starfox assault arwing papercraft templates plz (if you can)
I’m afraid I still can’t promise you to do so; there are simply so many paper models that I still want to do, and I really don’t know if I will come around to making a new Arwing some time, sorry…
ninjatoes is the hero of twilight paper-craft hard to make?
Most parts aren’t; be sure to take your time and pre-shape (score and fold or bend/curve) the parts before your glue them together. Follow the instructions if you run into trouble, and if you’re not sure about a certain part, try fitting it together without glue first to see if it fits the way you thought.
I think the most difficult parts are the hands; assemble the fingers one by one by pre-shaping them around a tooohpick first (just recently, somebody asked me about the hands and fingers, you can read about it in the comments on the Twilight Link post: link)
Yamaha has a very good papercraft tutorial with some general tips and tricks that’s worth checking out: link
But the most important tip I can give you, is still to take your time, and don’t try to build all of it in one day; although it’s not necessarily a very difficult model, it simply takes time to cut out, shape and glue together all the parts, so when you feel you’ve done enough for the day, store the parts in safe place and continue another time.
And of course: Have fun! ;o)
wow…. i tried to do this and the colors are in negative -.- wtf?
Do you mean you tried to print one of my papercraft models and the colours came out wrong?
I’m afraid I have no idea what might be causing that… :o( Some of my models are in JPG image format, which pretty much all image viewers should be able to open and print without problems.
Other models are in PDF format, for which you need a PDF viewer. It’s always a good idea to make sure you have the latest version/update of your PDF viewer, although I don’t know if that would cause any problems really.
Check your printer settings too (and make sure you have plenty of ink! ;o), and see if other PDF and/or JPG files cause problems too.
If the colours already look wrong when you open the file before printing it, maybe somebody went wrong downloading it. Delete the temporary internet files and clear the internet cache, close all your browser windows, and then try downloading the files again.
I hope you can figure out the problem and fix the problem!
hi i cant not download pepakura and i suck on pint and ass loges its just a tutorial den im happy
(i love your models:D
I’m afraid I didn’t understand all of that… (?) but I did get that you can’t use Pepakura Designer?
Although nowadays, many people use Pepakura Designer (including myself for a lot of my models) to create paper models, it is not the only way of course!
There are other computer programs that you can use, like SketchUp with a unfold plugin that you can download: link and Blender has a unfold plugin too if I’m correct: link
Other people even used MS Excel to calculate the 2D, unfolded pattern of 3D shapes: link
And here’s a tutorial of somebody who simply uses MS Word: link
So as you see, there are many different ways, and some are easier, some are more difficult. And I think if you look around online, you can find many more tips and tutorials on how to make your own papercraft models! ;o)
But even if you do use a computer program that does a lot of the work for you, it’s important to keep thinking about it yourself!
Try to imagine yourself what the 3D shape that you want to make will look like when it is folded flat *before* the computer program does it for you.
That way, you can even make paper models by hand by simply drawing the 2D shapes with a ruler and a pencil! ;o)
For simple shapes (cubes, beams, cylinders, cones…) it really isn’t that difficult, but of course with very complex shapes, maybe you won’t be able to imagine how to unfold it in your head right away.
But if you simply try it out (draw and test build it the way you think it should be) you can keep adjusting it until you get it right! ;o)
It takes a lot of time, but the more you do it, the better you get at it of course (that’s also the case if you use a computer program ;o)
hi and on youtube plz show how to make papercraft thx
There really is so much you could say about making papercraft models, and it would take me so long to try and make and make a good tutorial…
On my weblog, I have a work in progress section (link) with updates on my both my hand drawn models and the ones I make using Pepakura Designer, which can give you an idea on how I do it (but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the only or the best way of course! ;o)
But papercraft really isn’t as difficult as most people seem to think, and just by playing around and making a few simple models, you’ll quickly understand the logic behind it. ;o)
On forums like the Nintendo Papercraft forum you can find lots of tips and help too (link) because a lot of people like to make paper models nowadays! ;o)
hi ninjatoes plz do a new Categories wild animals.
and do a fox plz and wolfes thx
and thx
I do like wild animals, although I haven’t really made any paper ones myself yet (except one or two from video games).
I can’t promise you which models I will do in the future I’m afraid, but there are many papercrafters out there, and many of them like wild animals too! ;o)
And some big companies also have a papercraft bonus section on their websites, and animals are very popular: Yamaha for example has a great animal series (link) and so do Konica Minolta (link) Canon (link) and Epson (link).
The only papercraft wolf I made myself so far is from the Zelda game Twilight Princess: link but there are also more realistic ones from Canon for example: link or from this site: link
As for a fox, there are many cute paper toy foxes out there already, like the one on this page: link or this one: link
And Kirin Beverage just added a simple and less cartoony fox to their animal series just a few days ago! link ;o)
Of course, these are just the ones that I remembered from the top of my hat, so be sure to search around a bit, and I’m sure you can find lots more!
Have fun!
ninjatoes how many pages does the Nintendo zapper have (just checking because i have quite a short amount of card left) thx
same guy who posted this: wait i downloaded it thx gonna build it now
Although the NES Zapper is life-sized, you only need 4 sheets of paper to build it (altough if you’re building the lineless version, I do recommend downloading the version with lines as well (although in that case you don’t need to print it of course) so you can check where you need to fold.
The grey and orange version are the same except for the colours, so you can choose which one you like better (each ZIP file has the 4 sheets for one Zapper gun). Have fun building!
ninjatoes have you seen the real steel paper models? if you have can you post them on your website and also make other models related to real steel aswell (if you can) thx same guy
Yes, I know about the papercraft Real Steel Noisy Boy boxing robot from an official site, this is the link: link
There are both a simple and a more detailed version, both in full colour and in black and white. I posted it on my Twitter account (link) but my papercraft webpage here is really just for my own models. My papercraft weblog (link) is where I post all the daily features (and works in progress and other news).
I can’t promise you whether I’ll make some Real Steel robots myself, though; I already have so many ideas, that I don’t think the chance is very big, sorry… I seem to remember Paper Replika mentioning on their Facebook page that they were thinking about making one (Atom, I think) but I can’t find the post anymore so I don’t know what happened to it, or if I just imagined it…?? :o(
