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 
i love your models and i have made majoras mask and oni link but can you make portal and portal 2 papercraft
Thank you, I’m happy to hear you like my paper models!
I never really got into Portal though, so the chance that I’ll make a paper model of it is not very big I’m afraid, sorry… :o(
There are some other papercrafters that made some papercraft Portal models already when the game came out some time ago:
Tubbypaws made a simple but cute Portal tribute:

Digitprop made a Frankenturret and P-Body:

Billybob884 made a few papercraft Portal models:

And here are some simple paper toy Cubees:

And maybe you can find even more papercraft Portal models! ;o)
can you make princess zelda from twilight princess? please! or sheik! pleeeeeaseeee or both!!! :):):):):):):):):):):):):)
I’m a big Zelda fan myself, so I hope to do many more paper models from the series in the future! ;o)
Princess Zelda an Sheik are definitely on my to do-list, but I simply can’t promise you when I’ll finally get around to making them, because I have so many other ideas as well, and papercraft is only a hobby of mine…
There are other people that made a princess Zelda and Sheik already, though:
Haywan from the Papercraft Museum website made a Twilight Princess princess Zelda: http://www.papercraftmuseum.com/zelda/ (it’s bigger and more complex than my own Twilight Princess models, though)
On Nintendo Papercraft is a bigger and complex Sheik from the Super Smash Bros. Brawl game: http://nintendopapercraft.blogspot.com/2011/05/sheik-ssbb.html
Icthus7 made a Sheik from the original Ocarina of Time game: http://icthus7-papercraft.blogspot.com/2009/03/sheik-from-legend-of-zelda-ocarine-of.html
You used to have to e-mail him to ask him the templates, but it’s an old model already and I don’t know if he still answers the e-mails (you should be able to find it from other sites now, though)
thank you !! but i must say yours are way better :)
if you can,can you make a papercraft of kairi from kingdom hearts?
A papercraft Kairi is definitely on my “to do”-list as part of my Kingdom Hearts series, but unfortunately, I can’t promise you when I’ll finally get around to making here yet, sorry…
There are some simple Cubee/hako papercraft toys of her out there, and I thought there was a more “realistic”, detailed version already too, but I think that was just an announcement of sombody planning to make it, and I don’t think it got finished… :o(
I am working on donald duck from the first kingdom hearts game, which kairi were you doing?
This was me btw
Ah, you have your own papercraft weblog! Once you finish your papercraft Donald Duck, I’ll add your weblog to the links section on my papercraft weblog. ;o)
Until then, have fun working on Donald! Take your time! ;o)
I don’t know which Kairi I’ll make yet, really; I made Sora from Kingdom Hearts II because I liked that version better, but for Kairi, I think all her versions are quite cute. ;o)
But I’m not working on her right now, though…! I have lots of ideas for paper models, so it might be a long time before I get around to making a paper Kairi…
when is the papercraft Lego black night coming. it looks soooo awesome. hes my Favorite minifig
I’m working on the sword and shield right now in SketchUp, they’re the last two pieces I need to make. I will test build them first, but I don’t expect many problems really. ;o)
Then I will have to make the final templates with all the correct and fixed parts, and then I will build it myself first so I can make the instructions (and then I will have to make the instructions ;o)
But because I can only work on it off and on, I think it will still take a week or two, three perhaps. You can stay up to date on the progress on my papercraft weblog: http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/
And of course once it’s finished, I’ll post it here on my papercraft webpage too so you can download the parts and instructions to build it. ;o)
What kind of all purpose printer friendly paper would you suggest?
I always use 200 gsm (200 grams per square meter) paper, which is about 2.5 times as thick as regular printer paper (that’s usually about 75-80 gsm).
Most papercrafters use anything between 120-200 gsm. I don’t think the specific brand is important though; try to find a nice brand that does the job and that’s not too expensive. ;o)
Some people like to use glossy paper or even photopaper, which is always a bit thicker of its own already. It gives the finished model a glossy/shiny finish, but not everybody likes working with it because of the glossy layer.
So it’s really a personal preference, and the best tip I can give you is to try out which paper you like yourself; maybe if you explain yourself, you can ask the shopkeeper if you can try out a few pages first before buying a whole pack of paper?
I hope you can find a type of paper that you like, have fun building!
have you seen any dead space 2 or 1 papercraft anywhere?
I’ve seen some, but not much really…
Just a little while ago, this papercraft Marker artifact was released: http://destro2k.deviantart.com/art/Dead-Space-Marker-Desktop-Statue-312284216
Here’s a simple Isaac Clarke paper toy Cubee: http://www.cubeecraft.com/cubee/isaac-clarke
And here are some that used to be available, but that now seem to be removed unfortunately… But usually, if people like them, they will get uploaded on lots of other sites, so maybe if you search around a bit, you can still find them?
Robot Martini used to have their own “Dead Space Briki” paper toy of Isaac Clarke: http://robotmartini.com/community/viewpost/832/
A person called Alclione made a much more detailed Isaac Clarke, but unfortunately, all the posts on his weblog seem to be gone: http://alclione-papermodels.blogspot.com/2011/05/dead-space-isaac.html :o(
The same goes for this 1:1 scale dead Space level 3 helmet and plasma cutter (Pepakura *.pdo files without textures) from Action Papercrafts (he says he used the name “Schofield Tools” from the game when he made it) but the download link is dead now:http://actionpapercrafts.blogspot.com/2009/04/11-deadspace-lvl-3-helmet-and-plasma.html
So mostly dead links that I know of, unfortunately… :o( Like I said though, maybe you can still contact the creators or find them on other sites? And of course, there might be more that I simply don’t know about msyelf, so don’t give up searching! ;o)
if you can, can you make some dead space papercraft???
I’m not really into Dead Space myself, to be honest… And with all the ideas for other papercraft models that I already have, the chance for me to make a papercraft model from Dead Space is not very big I’m afraid, sorry…
ninjatoes have you ever sold your papercraft? because im planning to sell mine. if yes how much money did you get for it
No, I never sold any of my models, because papercraft is first of all only a hobby of mine that I like to do for fun, and secondly, all the models I made so far are based on characters or other things from video games or TV series, so they’re not really mine to sell. ;o)
please can u make a papercraft of L from death note…hes my favourite character…btw your works are amazingg simply the best
I’m afraid I already have so many ideas, that I really can’t promise you whether I’ll make a papercraft Death Note L in the future, sorry…
There are a lot of Death Note fans, and sometimes people talk about making a paper model of it, but for some reasons there still aren’t many Death Note paper models out there yet… :o(
There are some simplified paper Cubees (including L) here: http://animepapertoys.blogspot.nl/search/label/DEATH%20NOTE
Another simple L toy here: http://fav.me/d2vpp0f (looks like this: http://fav.me/d4i6n2e when finished)
There’s a chibi, “nendoroid”-style Light Yagami floating around too, it shouldn’t be too hard to find with Google or another search engine.
And of course there are probably others as well, but I don’t know if anybody made a more detailed Lawliet already…?
I’m sorry I can’t really help you better than this, but I hope you will find a nice papercraft L that you’ll like!
okay so i am building the lego captain knoest right at this moment. i build the thing that keeps the head and the brown thing that he wears (part 16). i do a test to see if it fits knoest’s head but it doesnt plz help. oh yeah this is the same guy that asks for the starfox assault arwing.
Do you mean the holes on parts 35 and 40 (the brown thing that he wears on his shoulders) is not big enough to fit over the the cylinder that you have to make from 16?
All the separate parts (arms, legs, head etc.) are made to fit quite tightly together, so they won’t fall apart all the time.
But because it is only paper of course, you need to use thicker, stronger paper than usual, or else it won’t be strong enough if you take the pieces apart and put them back together all the time.
I always use 200 gsm (grams per square meter) which is about 2.5 times as thick as regular printer, and with that, the parts are strong enough and the holes are just the right size so the parts fit together very tightly.
There are two you can solve the problem: you can make the neck (part 16) smaller, or the holes on parts 35 and 50 bigger.
If you want to make the holes bigger, be careful you don’t cut off *too* much at once and make them *too* big…!
It’s best to trim them only a little bit at a time, try to see if it fits, and if it doesn’t, you can always cut off a little more, try again, and so on until it fits correctly.
To make a cylinder thinner, you can glue the end a little bit over the white of the glueing tab (you will have to trim the top a little bit as well until it fits of course).
To make the walls of a cylinder a little bit wider, colour the edge of the glueing tab in the appropriate colour and then glue on the other end so that it doesn’t completely cover the glueing tab.
It’s hard to explain in words, but with the parts in front of you I hope you can understand what I mean, it’s really not very difficult.
Keep working as precise as you can, because there are a lot of parts that need to fit very tightly together on my papercraft LEGO minifigs, but don’t be afraid to adjust the pieces a little bit if you need to to make it work better.
Good luck and have fun!
thx p.s can you use 160 gsm paper?
Yes, you can use any type of paper you want of course as long as you feel your model is strong enough. ;o)
is pepakura designer and view free if so how can you download it to your usb stick?
Pepakura Viewer is 100% free, so you can use it without restrictions to open and print Pepakura *.pdo files that other people made. You can download the latest version from this page: link (the older versions are at the bottom, but those won’t be able to open *.pdo files that were made with the newer versions of Pepakura Designer!)
Pepakura Designer, that you can use to make your own papercraft models, is not free, but you can try it out first before you decide to buy it. You can download it from this page: link (again, the older versions are at the bottom, but those won’t be able to open *.pdo files that were made with the newer versions!)
In the trial/shareware version, all the unfold functions will work, and you can also print your paper model to build it, but without buying a registration key first, you won’t be able to save the *.pdo file you made and you can’t export the unfolded template to save it.
I remember the old versions (V.1) of Pepakura Designer and Viewer didn’t have an installer so you should be able to run from a USB stick on a Microsoft Windows (neither Pepakura Designer or Viewer will work on a Mac computer) but I haven’t tried it myself to be honest to see if it will work, and like I said before, Pepakura Viewer and Designer V.1 won’t be able to open files that were made using Pepakura Designer V.2 or 3…!
The newer versions all come with installers if I’m correct, so I think they only work if you install them directly on your computer; but if you want to be sure, you can always ask the people from Tamasoft if there’s also a portable version using the inquiry form on the Pepakura website: link
how can you download pepakura designer to a usb stick?
The same way you download it to your computer’s hard disk really; but instead of choosing your hard disk (C:/…) you choose your USB stick as a location (check the drive letter under “My Computer”, it’s different on each computer).
But I think it is not possible to run the latest versions of Pepakura Designer directly from a USB stick: I think they need to be installed on your computer first for them to work.
You can try the oldest version (Ver.1.1d at the bottom of this page: http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/download/designerhtml )
Because it doesn’t have an installer, maybe it will work if you download the file to your USB stick, unzip it, and then run the *.exe file, but I’m not sure (if you really want to know, just ask the people from Tamasoft using the inquiry contact form from their site: http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/user/support_form.php
Don’t forget that Pepakura Designer Ver.1.1.d won’t be able to open Pepakura *.pdo files made with version 2 or 3, and that you need to buy a registration key before you can save or export your work (you can unfold and print with the unregistered version, though)
it is very cool
