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. Hello, Ninjatoes

    I was wandering if you could help me out. I’ve extracted a model from the FF:CC game but my pepakura designer doesn’t open it.
    http://www.mediafire.com/download/rei9mw441xxosxk/Soldier+M2.rar
    I tried to join the objects that are separated but that didn’t work either. I reduced the number of faces/triangles to half, extracted in other formats such as .dae but my pepakura closes as soon as I try to open my file. Don’t know if is just my software or what..
    If you could help me or know someone..please!
    Thanks

      1. That one was made by a person called Ignatius, and I didn’t post the models, I only put up a link to their website; unfortunately, it looks like Ignatius has closed his papercraft weblog instead of leaving the models up, so you should try if you can find a way to contact him, or try if you can find somebody who uploaded them on their own website or something…

        Sorry I can’t help you better than this! :o(

        1. Didn’t find his contact anywhere.. but found some of the models elsewhere. But I still wanted that boat though. And I was unsucessful ripping that game properly.

    2. I think if you put it in a folder *without* the mtl file it might work. Also, try converting the tga files to bmp or jpg. The more basic the better.

      Still, all is not well with the 3D model, really… :o( Ripping 3D models from video games is often not perfect, and it can take a lot of work to fix all the issues in a 3D program first before you should try to unfold it in Pepakura Designer. So it’s important not to skip that step, it’s the most important one! ;o)

      1. Yeah… I’ll arrange the pose and try to simplify the mesh before unfolding.. just testing de file so I don’t waste time with something that doesn’t work. Unfortunately I’m not very skilled with that so the final pdo is a mess..but still foldable..somehow. Pepakura lvl expert for assembling.

        There are methods I could use but involves UV remapping. That I cannot do :(

        But thanks for the help! It worked!

  2. Hello NinjaToes. I’m a paper craft fan and I was wondering if I could get you go ahead to sell some 3D models that I’ve made on my ETSY shop.

    I can’t offer money as I have none, and in my current situation it would be impossible for me to pay for royalties, but I could include links on my etsy page to whatever websites and social media you’re affiliated with.

    Would love to hear back from you.

  3. Hi,
    is there any chance I could download your F-15 (red one) from Advance Wars? Or is it still available somewhere?
    Thank you for your time.

    Reply

    1. Sure, all of my papercraft models are always still available from my papercraft webpage! ;o)

      The Orange Star Fighter is too, but because I made so many papercraft Advance Wars units, you have to browse through the older pages of the Advance Wars categorie to find it with the “← Older Posts” link at the bottom of the pages.

      Here’s the direct link to the download post for the Orange Star Fighter: https://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/2011/03/18/advance-wars-orange-star-fighter/

      Have fun building!

    1. Hi there! Surprisingly, there don’t seem to be as much papercrafts from “The Lord of the Rings” series as you would expect… I do remember a few, like Gandalf: http://noturnosukhoi.blogspot.com/2012/01/gandalflord-of-rings.html (I think you’ll need the free Pepakura Viewer to open PDO files; I don’t remember if they ever finished the other ones they announced?) and a Nazgul: http://papelnaestante.blogspot.com/2011/03/nazgul-lord-of-rings.html and some simple paper toys ones here: http://revistaquem.globo.com/Popquem/noticia/2012/12/o-hobbit-estreia-no-brasil-e-o-popquem-traz-paper-toys-exclusivos-do-filme-para-voce.html

      There are more I think, so don’t give up looking!

    1. I haven’t made a papercraft Panhard armoured car myself, but I think you mean the one that I featured here: http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/2011/10/dl-very-detailed-papercraft-panhard.html

      That one was made by Ervins Ernstreits, who posted the download links for the free versions (there was also a commercial version he made for the GPM-0295 magazine) on this forum: http://www.kartonwork.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13747&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=81

      Unfortunately, as you can see, it was posted several years ago already, and the downloads on the filehost have expired since then… :o( Because it’s not my model, you’ll have to try to contact the creator “ervins” to see if they’re still available (if you search around a bit, you’ll find some pictures of the bottom of the front page of the templates with an e-mail adress:

      Or try to find “ervins panhard” on other sites of people that have uploaded the files to their own websites… I’m sorry I can’t help you better than this, I hope you’ll be able to get the templates!

    1. Hi there! I’m happy to hear you like my Zelda papercrafts! ;o) I will definitely make more of them in the future, but I can’t promise you when or which ones exactly, sorry…!

      There are lots more Zelda papercrafts on other websites too, though; have a look around and I’m sure you will find some neat ones that aren’t too difficult, have fun!

    1. I do like dinosaurs, so my attention is already turned to Jurassic park really! ;o) But whether I will make some real Jurassic Park models…? I really can’t promise that, sorry… :o(

      You can find lots of papercraft dinosaurs online though, like on Canon Creative Park: http://cp.c-ij.com/en/contents/3149/list_15_1.html

      And even some cool fanmade papercraft jeeps, like this one from A l’ombre du pommier: http://alombredupommier.blogspot.com/2009/12/jurassic-park-explorer-papercraft.html

      Or this one from Paulo Marcio: http://pauloomarcio.deviantart.com/art/jeep-wrangler-of-Jurassic-Park-185345302

      Or this one from Racepaper.de: http://www.racepaper.de/street/spezial/star.htm

      Or the cannister that Nedry uses to smuggle the dinosaur embryos: http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/gallery/gallerydetails.php?id=1480

      Or even the entrance gate, made by Papertoys Clemper (the post is old, but the Mediafire link still works):
      https://web.archive.org/web/20111111114226/http://papertoysclemper.blogspot.com/2011/08/welcome-to-jurassic-park-new-jurassic.html

      So lots of neat stuff already, and maybe you can find even more if you search around some more, have fun! ;o)

  8. Chancellor Cole is looking neater than ever! Or… naughtier than ever? Either way, great job on the paper model!

    1. Thank you for the compliment, I’m happy you like it! Hopefully I can pick up the pace a bit, it took so long to finish this one…! ;o)

    1. I haven’t made any papercraft IJN battleships myself, but maybe you will like these websites:

      Has some very cool Japanese navy ships (and more!), including a WW2 aircraft carrier:
      http://papermodel.jp/otona.html

      Has several papercraft navy ships and airplanes as well:
      http://www.geocities.jp/papercraft_etsutan/free.html
      (click the blue squares)

      The people from the MegaMoonLiner Scale Modelling Studio made some cool Japanese Navy ships (and other models!) too; I don’t think they’re available, but maybe you can try contacting them about it:
      https://www.facebook.com/MegaMoonLinerStudio

      And of course there are many more websites with papercraft ships, so don’t give up looking! ;o)

      I hope you will be able to find a cool ship to build, have fun!
