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!

    1. I definitely want to make more Legend of Zelda models in the future, possibly other versions of Link too; but because papercraft is just a hobby of mine, I really can’t promise you when or which ones exactly, sorry…!

      There are lots more papercrafting Zelda fans of course, and there is another papercraft young Link made by Sabidiet (it’s from Majora’s Mask too, though): http://sabidietpapercraft.blogspot.com/2012/07/majoras-mask-link.html

      Keep an eye out on sites like http://paperkraft.blogspot.com/ (or my own weblog with other people’s paper models too of course: http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/) and maybe you will find more!

  2. Can you make a papercraft of Ferrari F1 2012 like the size of you Mclaren F1 I really love and appreciate your work and I know It’s difficult to wok in but I am pleasing you to make a Ferrari F1 2012 like the size of your Mclaren F1 Thank You.

    1. I haven’t made a papercraft McLaren F1 myself, so I think you must have seen it in my Twitter/Facebook feed or on my “update/feature” weblog?

      There are many papercrafting Formula 1 fans, so I don’t know exactly which one you mean, but if you can find it back, you should find the link to the creator’s own website where you can download the model;

      usually there is some contact information or an option to leave a comment so you can ask if they can make a papercraft Ferrari F1 2012 too?

      I hope you can contact the creator of the papercraft McLaren F1 you found!

  3. Hey I love your work of the CR-X! but I dont know if you will make the paper of the honda 88′ hatchback?

    Reply

    1. I haven’t made a papercraft CR-X myself, so I think you saw it on my papercraft weblog: http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/

      Many of the models I show there aren’t my own, but are made by other people; if you like their work, you can always visit their webpage and ask them if they might have made a papercraft Honda ’88 hatchback?

      I do have a lot of links to papercraft cars on my weblog: http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/2008/08/cars-trucks-buses-other-vehicles.html but I can’t remember if I ever saw a Honda ’88 hatchback to be honest…? (you can use CTRL+F to search the post)

      But of course I don’t know all the paper models ever made of course, so even if it’s not there, you can try on other papercraft websites like http://paperkraft.blogspot.com/, or http://papercraftparadise.blogspot.com/, or http://papermau.blogspot.com/ or one of the many others. ;o)

      I hope you can find one, have fun!

      1. Thanks for answer! Well, i’ll search on the links that you gave me, thank you and all the things that you made are awesome! :D

    1. Thank you for the compliments, I’m happy you like my papercraft works! ;o)

      Papercraft is only a hobby of mine though, so I like to make paper models from the video games, movies, etc. that I like whenever I have the time, so I’m afraid I can’t make paper models on demand, sorry… :o(

      But there are lots more papercrafters of course, and on my “WIP/updates” weblog ( http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/ ) I try to put as many in the spotlights as I can, and there are lots more papercraft websites, like http://paperkraft.blogspot.com/ or http://paper-replika.com/ or http://nintendo-papercraft.com/ (or one of the many others!) where you can find lots more papercraft models you might like! ;o)

      Have fun building!

    1. Thank you for the compliment, I’m happy that you like my papercraft works! ;o) I’d love to make many more paper models in the future, but papercraft is only a hobby of mine, so I can’t promise anybody to make the specific models they like, sorry…!

      I do remember that “Blue Dragon” made a cool Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and some Marvel heroes some years ago: http://actionpapercrafts.blogspot.com/search/label/Teenage%20Mutant%20Ninja%20Turtles

      And with all the new movies now, especially the Marvel heroes are very popular amongst papercrafters! (Paper-Replika made several different Iron Man models for instance: http://paper-replika.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=140:iron-man! ;o)

      The same goes for Sonic; I remember a Super Sonic model from Paper e craft here: http://paperecraft.blogspot.com/2012/10/super-sonic-papercraft.html but Sonic is still very popular and you can find many different paper models of him.

      For the Thundercats, I can only remember some simple paper toys from the top of my head: http://cyberdrone.deviantart.com/gallery/36823321 or http://mikedaws.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=%2F&q=thundercats but maybe you can find some more on one of the many other papercraft sites nowadays! ;o)

  6. hey ninjatoes :). Would you mind helping me? I’m having trouble with Twilight Princess Link’s hair. The step by step picture instructions aren’t enough help with gluing parts 62 and 63 to 61. Could you give me some tips on it? I would greatly appreciate that

    Reply

    1. Twilight Link’s hair is basically made from flat pieces that are shaped and layered to create the idea of hair, so it can be a bit confusing I think;

      First, make sure you’ve shaped and glued part 61 just like in step 62 of the instructions of course!

      Parts 62 and 63 are two of those pieces, that you need to glue underneath part 61 to get the layering effect: if you look at the top left side of part 61 (just left of the valley fold line), you’ll see there’s kind of a “chunk” out of it with a 90 degree angle with a glueing tab, that’s the corner where you should glue part 62 to with the small glueing tab sticking out of the right of it (the rest of part 62 doesn’t glue anywhere yet in this step!)

      For part 63, you have to look at the right side of part 61, where there’s a small triangular part sticking up next to a straight edge: simply glue the one glueing tab sticking out on the left of part 63 underneath that straight edge and that’s it for that part! (the rest of part 63 doesn’t glue anwhere yet in this step ;o)

      Shape the parts for the hair to get a nice layering effect and to make it look good against the face/head.

      It’s very difficult to explain papercraft in words, especially parts like these, so I’ve made a little schematic: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/xBXQk3FmGyDaOTeZTLWf8dMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0

      I hope with this explanation and the little schematic it you’ll be able to figure out how to glue these three parts together, but of course I’m afraid I can’t do this for all the parts… :o( But keep in mind how the parts for the hair are layered, and keep examining the parts and the instructions to figure out how the parts should be shaped and glued together (and now you know that layered parts sometimes only glue on in just one or two places! ;o)

      But since you already got this far on a pretty challenging model, I’m sure you can do it! ;o) Good luck and have fun!

      1. Thanks ninjatoes and yeah it was pretty challenging especially with the hands but your tutorial on making small paper cylinders helped me on that. This also helped me slit as well! Keep making awesome papercraft models ;) K.L.

  7. Hi there Ninjatoes!

    Recently, I was attempting to rip the textures of an Ice and regular Keese from Ocarina of Time with Lemmy’s Plugin and failed badly. -_-

    I started out using 1964, and followed many website’s instructions, but it still didn’t work in the slightest. So then I tried using Project64 and then that didn’t work! I tried for days, but I eventually figured out that the websites to download P64 and 1964 I was using had Malware and ultimately corrupted a bunch of files.

    Note my parents have used Avast! Antivirus for years and had no problem, so as you can guess, they were extremely mad when they figured out about it.

    So all I am asking is, can you please give me links to a safe virus-free version of 1964? (I prefer it over PJ64)

    And if you can, I need a bit more help!
    My PC is using Windows 7 64-bit by the way.

    Thanks, and continue your awesome Advance Wars models! ;)

    Reply

    1. I’m glad you like my Advance Wars models! ;o) The great thing for me about those is that I can make them by hand directly with paper, instead of having to do a lot of computerwork first and I don’t need to worry about downloading viruses or malware with files I don’t know…!

      Because the truth is of course, I’m afraid I can’t guarantee you a 100% virus/malware free download location for any files, especially with fanmade files and programs like emulators; they were not made by big companies, and although many fans mean well and just want to share the joy they have with emulators playing their favourite old games again, sometimes they simply don’t know themselves if their file is infected with a virus or a malware… :o(

      Of course you already know that you should always scan any file you want to download with the newest and updated version of your anti-virus and anti-malware scanner, but even then they can’t catch every threat unfortunately, so you should always try to find a “trusted” download location; which like I said is a bit of a problem with fanmade programs like emulators of course… :o(

      There are some “bigger” emulation sites that people trust more than just downloading it from “somebody’s blog”, but it’s still a “download at your own risk!” situation, really…

      I often make a special “system restore point” before making big changes to my system (like downloading and/or installing a file that I only trust 99%) so that if anything goes wrong, I can restore my system to before installing/running the program I just downloaded (just uninstalling a program will often still leave traces of it on your computer, especially if it was malware!)

      Most Nintendo 64 emulators were made many years ago, so most of them will be 32-bits, and I don’t know if you’ll be able to find a true 64-bits version (it’s a bit ironic really ;o) but normally, 32-bits programs will run fine on Windows 7 64-bits thanks to the built-in compatibility.

      As for the troubles with extracting the textures themselves, sometimes they are there, but maybe you just don’t recognize them at first; especially “glowing” textures like “fire” and “ice” or interchangeable textures are often just black-and-white when you open them in their original, “raw” *.bmp form.

      I didn’t work on making the games of course, but when I made the Koume and Kotake witches for instance, their “icy” and “fiery” hair was just a black-and-white texture, and I guess the N64’s engine would overlay the ice and fiery glow in real-time during play, so I had to colour my own textures (while the normal textures like Koume’s and Kotake’s clothing were in normal colours).

      The same goes for Link’s tunic: when extracted, it was just black-and-white, and I guess the game makes it green (or red or blue for the Goron or Zora tunic versions) when needed.

      I hope you can understand that I don’t want to tell you “download it from website X and you’ll be fine” and then it turns out that website still infected your computer… :o(

      There are some tutorials on the the Nintendo Papercraft Forums (both the new one and the old one) but even though most people there are just simple Nintendo fans and papercrafters themselves just like you and me and really don’t intend to harm anybody, sometimes they just don’t know whether a website or download is infected with a virus or malware themselves when they mention it…

      I’m sorry about the demoralizing (and even a bit scary…) speech, and I’m sure you already know all this… I hope you can find a good, uninfected emulator you can use, maybe you can ask your parents to help you if they’re good with recognizing sites you can trust more than others, but like I said, I’m afraid I can’t give you a guaranteed safe option…! :o(

  8. Can you please make a Roxas (from kingdom hearts) model

    1. Thank you for the compliment about my papercraft Sora, I’m happy that you like it so much! ;o)

      I’m a Kingdom Hearts fan too, and I’d love to make more papercraft models from the games, but papercraft is only a hobby of mine, and I really can’t promise which models I will make in the future, sorry…! :o(

        1. Nice! Ik had nog niet door dat je ook gewoon Nederlands spreekt, haha! Het is een vrij nieuwe site zie ik? Veel plezier met je website! (en met de papieren bouwplaten natuurlijk! ;o)

          Reply

            1. Elke dag met een nieuwtje komen is ook moeilijk en veel werk natuurlijk, dus als het niet lukt, dan geeft dat natuurlijk niet, zo lang je er maar lol in blijft hebben! ;o)

              Ik ben blij dat je m’n papercraft website zo leuk vindt, er zijn er natuurlijk nog veel meer, met bouwplaten van allerlei video games! ;o)

              Have fun!

                1. Hoewel veel van m’n eigen bouwplaten (en die van anderen! ;o) over video games gaan, is mijn website niet echt een tech/video game site, het is echt een papercraft site; als je een keer een mooie post hebt over papercraft (zelf gemaakt of gebouwd of ergens gevonden die ik nog niet kende) dan kan ik er wel een post over maken op mijn weblog: http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/

                  Of als je één van de bouwplaten van mijn eigen website hier hebt gebouwd kan ik hem in de “hall of fame” zetten, dan zet ik er altijd ook een link bij als iemand een eigen website heeft natuurlijk!

                  Reply

                    1. Prima hoor, als het maar echt iets te maken heeft met bouwplaten en niet alleen over video games in het algemeen kan ik het wel via een post op mijn weblog linken!

                      (als het maar niet over scans of downloads van commerciële (niet-gratis) bouwplaten gaat natuurlijk hè; het is leuk om gratis dingen te downloaden, maar dan wel écht gratis bouwplaten van de originele website, zoals die van de League of Legends “Snowdown Showdown!” ;o)
