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 
Wow, it’s been five years since I first visited your website and made the twilight princess link papercraft. Just wanted to drop by, check out the website, and indulge in my middle school nostalgia. Have a nice day :D Oh, and thanks for posting those detailed instructions. those were the best.
It’s nice to hear you have such fun memories of making your papercraft Link! ;o) As you grow up, life gets busier of course, but if you like to do some papercraft again sometime, you can find many simple but fun papercraft toys that you can easily do in one evening.
Or you can still do a bigger project of course, and only work on it when you have the time; that’s the good thing about a hobby, there’s no time pressure and you can work on it or put it aside whenever you feel like it. ;o)
Have fun!
sorry its just that Camerupt is one of my favorite pokemon in Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire so i was hoping you can make it soon plz.
btw you have my support and keep up the good work. :)
hey that sharpedo creation was great and can you make a more pokemons like a camerupt
Hi there, I’m happy to hear you liked my papercraft Sharpedo! There are a lot of cool Pokémon, but I definitely don’t plan on “paperfying” them all like the http://www.pokemonpapercraft.net/ team wants (although they seem to have some problems with their website at the moment… :(
Because papercraft is only a hobby of mine, I can’t promise which paper models I will make in the future, or when (even if I do end up making a papercraft Camerupt, you might have to wait a loooong time…! :o( so I don’t want to make a promise I can’t keep…
But the Pokémon is very popular of course, and there are many websites and fans making their own papercraft Pokémon! I can’t remember if somebody already made a papercraft Camerupt, sorry, but keep an eye out and maybe somebody will make it soon! ;o)
The http://paperkraft.blogspot.com/ weblog is a good website to keep checking back to, because they post many of the new papercraft models that are being made, especially Pokémon.
A weblog that is often updated with new papercraft Pokémon just PaperPokés is this one: http://jav-papercraft.blogspot.com/
I’m sorry I can’t help you better than this, but I hope if somebody hasn’t already made a papercraft Pokémon Camerupt, somebody will soon! ;o)
Have fun!
can you adjust the brightness of the fold lines on adult link ? The green part of the clothes, sword, hair and face would be what needs adjusted. I just cant see them! :(
As I’ve already explained here: https://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/2012/11/10/the-legend-of-zelda-adult-link/comment-page-2/#comment-136172 here: https://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/2006/07/19/the-legend-of-zelda-young-link/comment-page-4/#comment-136413 here: https://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/contact/comment-page-29/#comment-136416 and in a few other replies too, I already have so little time to think about making new papercraft models, that I’m afraid I really can’t redo old models too…
So although people are welcome to change the templates themselves to make them better or easier for them, I can’t do it for them.
It can be intimidating to use a graphics program to try and do it yourself, especially if you have never done anything like that before, but you can easily find many online tutorials that explain the basic skills you need, for any software you choose.
Of course it will take to learn, and to do it yourself, but although I understand your disappointment and frustration that I can’t offer you an easy, “ready-to-go” solution, please don’t take it out on all the different comment sections on my papercraft webpage…! :o(
He hasn’t posted any parts for it p.s. Why did George Lucas kill him In the first 20 or 30 minutes of the movie in episode 6?
The papercraft LEGO Boba Fett from Piromodel is available, it’s just one sheet of parts that you can save/download by clicking the thumbnail of the parts sheet on the page. As for the one from Jouzumania, I think he just made it for himself then…
Oh, and Boba Fett didn’t die in Episode VI… ;o) I don’t know if he’ll be in any of the new movies, but his escape is in storylines of books that play after Episode VI: it’s not that easy to kill Boba Fett. ;o)
If possible, can you make a Lego Boba Fett figure, just asking
I do like LEGO and I do like Star Wars (and Boba Fett is an iconic character! ;o) so it is a paper model that I’d like to make.
The only thing is, that I have *so many* ideas that I’d still like to make, that I can’t promise that I will ever get around to doing them all, or which ones I will make, and which ones I just won’t have time for… :o(
I do know there are other people that already made a papercraft LEGO Boba Fett before, though! ;o) Jouzumania made one: http://jouzumania.deviantart.com/art/STAR-WARS-Boba-Fett-Lego-Minifigure-447917757 but I think he made it just for himself…? But maybe I’m wrong, so be sure to check out his newer posts on Deviantart to see if he made an update to release the parts?
There is one that I know for sure is available though, from Piromodel: http://piromodel.fc2web.com/lego/lego_boba/lego_boba.html
I’m sorry I can’t definitely promise you to make a papercraft LEGO Boba Fett, but the truth is that even I don’t know yet which paper models I will make in the future…! ;o)
Heeey.. ^_^” I just wanted to ask if you have a DeviantArt account.
Excuse my english >.<
Yes, I do have a DeviantArt account: http://ninjatoespapercraft.deviantart.com/ ;o)
I’ve made many of your papercrafts, may I upload pictures of them? ^_^
Yes of course you may! ;o) You are free to show the papercrafts you built on your own website or blog, or on a website like DeviantArt.
I do have a “hall of fame” on my papercraft webpage here: https://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/category/hall-of-fame/ but people can’t upload their pictures there themselves, I have to do that myself.
Sometimes people do both, upload their pictures to their own website and also ask to be in the “hall of fame”. Then I can link to their own website if people want to see more pictures, because I usually only upload one or two pictures in the hall of fame per model and sometimes people are so proud of their paper model they make lots more! ;o)
Hi NT! How’s it going? I was just wondering how long does it usually take you to finish a papercraft? Like say, your Lulu model from Final Fantasy. Also, how are the insides of your projects so neat and, well white?? Mine are always caked in smudged glue :P
It’s difficult to give an estimate how long it will take to build one of my paper models, because for me it’s much easier of course because I know exactly how the parts should be shaped and be glued together already. ;o)
Also, I never really finish building a paper model in one sitting (unless it’s really small and simple of course) and I always have the television on in the background, so I often get distracted. ;o)
So when I’m building a model like Lulu, I think it will take me about a week, working on it a couple of hours or so every evening, while watching some fun tv-shows. Put your work in a safe place when you feel you’re getting bored of cutting paper for the day, and then you can pick up next time when you feel like it again. That way it might take longer to finish, but it stays fun, and the result will be better. ;o)
The “trick” with glue is: don’t use too much of it! ;o)
If you put a lot of glue on the glueing tabs, the glue will get pushed out from under the parts when you press the two parts together, and it will mix with the printer ink on the parts and make a mess… :o(
Only put a small amount of glue on the glueing tabs, and then spread it out with a piece of scrap piece paper you can cut from the template leftovers or something like that. That way the glueing tabs will be “tacky” to glue on the next part, but it won’t make a mess.
The best way to keep your paper models clean, is to take your time of course, and if you get any glue or anything on your fingers (like when you’re doing a white part after lots of black parts…) be sure to wipe them off! ;o)
I hope these tips help, have fun building!
Oh that was fast, hi! Thanks, you’re really helpful :D Cool, it usually takes me twice as long… Hey I watch TV too! That is, if you count watching on a computer…?
So, put just enough glue to work? Like a flat little smear? What if you need more time to try and squeeze the tab into position?
( Nice smileys :o) )
Oh and uh this is kinda minor but I think there’s a flap missing from part 62 of wolf link
Well like I said, don’t worry about speed: it’s better to take a little longer and get a better result than rushing it just to be done faster… :o(
How much glue *exactly* you should use is really something you have to work out from experience. It’s best not to use too much glue, but like you say, you also need some time to move the parts in the exact right position. So just like with most things really, it’s a matter of finding the right balance.
I think you’re right about the missing glueing tab on part 62 of wolf Link, I think I overlooked it when making the templates… Luckily like you say it’s a minor fault (instead of forgetting a whole piece for example, or forgetting to mirror them when needed… ;o) and with papercraft, it’s easy for people to add an extra glueing tab if the creator of the template forgot one of course. Well spotted though! ;o)
Hey! Im having trouble with the king of red lions part 76 is really tricky to put in the hull without it caving in on me. Do you have any tips? Iwould really appreciate that
Wow, if you’re at part 76, you’re already very far! ;o) So I hope you will be able to get past this point and finish your papercraft “King of Red Lions” to your liking!
Do you mean the hull caves in when you try to put on part 76, or that part 76 itself caves in?
If the hull caves in, I don’t really have a good tip, sorry… :o( Only to be careful, and don’t use too much force! Glue together the front of part 76, then apply a good amount of glue to the glueing tabs, and then gently push it in place on the white area on the deck of the boat.
If part 76 itself caves in, maybe you can cut out some “reinforcement” strips out of some cardboard? maybe one of them down the center is enough, and/or maybe you can add two more from the cornerpoints as well?
One side of the strengthening ribs needs to be as high as the center front of part 76, and for the other side, you can measure the height of the white area. And for the length you can measure an imaginary line from the center front to the opposite edge of part 76. Take your time to make the strengthening ribs the correct shape, because the inside of the hull is a bit slanted/sloped of course!
It’s difficult to explain in words, so I made a little schematic in my Picasa webalbums, and hopefully then you will understand better: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ZA7CRtcioFgsxc5mTmzSu9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink
Make sure part 76 is strong enough, because it will carry the weight of the mast and the sails, and they’re quite heavy…!
If you read about it, you will know that many people needed to strengthen the mast on the inside (putting cardboard or even chopsticks in it ;o) to prevent it from buckling under the weight of the sail. It’s best to make most parts from thicker paper, but maybe to keep the weight down, you can print the sail parts on normal, thinner paper? But even then, you might have to reinforce the mast, if you haven’t built those parts already.
I hope these tips help so you’ll be able to finish your papercraft “King of Red Lions”, good luck and take your time and have fun!
Can you post the PDO files instead of PDF? And the lineless version of the models… Thank you!
Although many of the papercraft models I made are created with the help of Pepakura Designer, the PDO file is never the finished version; after unfolding, test building and correcting the model sometimes multiple times, I gather all the separate fixed and correct parts and make one Photoshop (raster image) file with of them, and that’s really the only version of the paper models on my webpage… (I make them into a PDF files so they’re easy to share online)
“Lineless” versions only exist of some of my older models: they were made with Pepakura Designer v.1, which only let you use black fold lines (or no fold lines). But since Pepakura Designer v.2, it’s possible to choose any colour you want for the fold lines, so you can “blend in” the colours of the fold lines with the colours of the parts (sometimes even if they’re very visible in the PDF file, they will blend in much better in the printed version; if they’re still too visible, you can use a coloured pencil to colour over the lines).
So for me, it’s much easier now to make just one version, with fold lines that blend in with the parts’ colours (otherwise I’d have to make all the same fixes twice in Photoshop on the lineless and lined version, and it saves half the webspace from my webhost ;o)
I’m sorry to have to disappoint you on both questions… If you really want to build completely lineless models you can look on other papercraft websites though, I know some people still use that method, and then they’re usually PDO files too! ;o) (if you have PDO files that aren’t protected with a password, you can use the shareware version of Pepakura Designer (without having to buy a registration key) to get rid of the lines and print the models as lineless versions as well! ;o)
Ok… I specially wanted the T-Rex head of Tomb Raider. I’m a little bit upset. :( Thank you anyway.
Did you want the PDO file to make it bigger? You can still do so by opening the PDF file in a program like Photoshop or Gimp, and then scaling it like a regular image.
A person called “Wildman” did the same, and he even sent me the “400% version” to share with others: https://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/2008/08/21/t-rex-trophy-by-wildman/ (you can see a comparion picture of the original and the bigger version here: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/lnMII-dDbPc6A1WaJsxxhdMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0)
Keep in mind that Tomb Raider 3 is a relatively “old” game though, and the textures were only 16×16 or 32×32 pixels big…! They’re already scaled quite a bit on the original version, and the bigger you make the paper model, the more the textures get stretched as well.
