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. Hey, just wanted to say keep up the good work. I made my first papercraft of your zelda twilight princess link model years ago when I was in middle school. Glad to see you’re still doing papercraft. Cheers.

    1. Yes, although I don’t have a lot of spare time anymore, I do still love papercraft, and I definitely want to make new ones when I can! ;o)

      It’s great to hear that you remembered my Twilight Link, I hope you enjoyed building it, have fun and all the best!

  3. Hi Ninjatoes, Dont know if you remember myself, but i redesigned one of your Lego models some time ago into Captain America and also Bane from Batman?
    I was wanting to ask if you had any plans to potentially try and design a Batman to go with your collection? As it would only require you to design a new helmet as the rest of the body could simply be re-drawn???
    With the film being out and friends knowing about the models i have made in the past (All my models have been gifted to multiple children within my family and friendship group!) I am being asked if it would be possible to make a Batman!!
    Redesign of the body would be easy, but i have no skills or abilities when it comes to designing new parts for the models.
    Your help and advice would be appreciated

    Kind regards

    Charles

    1. Sure I remember you! And I’m happy to hear your friends liked your redraws! I get asked a lot to make specific papercrafts, including a LEGO Batman. ;o) And you know I’m a big LEGO fan ánd a big Batman fan, so I’d love to make one, but papercraft is only a hobby of mine, and especially lately, I’ve been really swamped with other things, so I hardly have any time at the moment I’m afraid to make new papercrafts, because it really does take me a lot of time… So I’m afraid that I can’t promise you that I will be able to make a LEGO Batman anytime soon, sorry… :o(

  5. Hey Ninjatoes! Im currently building wolf link, and im having trouble with parts 49-64. Do you have any tips or perhaps a schematic to help? Thank you and keep making awesome models!

    1. I’m afraid I don’t have a good tip or good schematic to make it easier, sorry… :o( Only some general tips:

      Firstly, because the teeth are so small, I really recommend having the PDF file open on your computer screen so you can zoom in on the parts: the teeth are small, but each of them has several folding lines that you need to score and fold that you probably can’t see very well on the printed versions!

      Secondly, I think it helps if you “imagine” the shape the teeth need to be in your head: most of them will need to be a 3, 4, 5, etc. sided pyramid shape (a few teeth are different, but if you fold them properly and follow the arrows (and “trial-and-error” a few times, sorry…) you can get it right! ;o)

      Focus on one teeth at a time, and firstly, score and fold all the fold lines and make sure you don’t forget any of them!

      Then look at the arrows on the template, and follow the ones that point to the part itself first: usually it will tell you which glueing flap you need to glue to which edge to get the required pyramid shape.

      It’s difficult, because the parts are small and the shapes are difficult, but I hope you can do it! ;o)

  7. I love this site. I am glad you keep up with it. I found you a couple of years ago. Actually longer than that because I built the cylon raider 4 years ago. Due to the lack of time, I don’t get to build much, so it is nice to come back here and download more models.

    I have wondered, just how in the heck do you make these? I can’t even imagine how you would begin designing a model from scratch.

    Anyways, thank you for sharing your precious works.

    1. Thanks for being such a long time fan! I still enjoy papercraft very much too, but like you, I don’t have as much time to enjoy it as much as I used to. ;o)

      I think when it comes to creating my papercrafts, I can break down the papercrafts I make into 3 types:

      1) Sometimes I make them just by hand, directly on a piece of paper (and then I break them apart and scan in the pieces for my websites and to build the final version). My Advance Wars series, Batmobile, Going Merry boat from One Piece, and even the Tie-fighter from Star Wars are made this way. And I actually find this the most fun way! ;o)
      If you browse through old posts on my weblog for when I made the TIE-fighter of Advance Wars papercrafts, you can see some examples: http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/search/label/Star%20Wars and http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/search/label/Advance%20Wars

      2) But when I want to make a papercraft from a 3D video game, I try to start with the actual 3D model from the game, because it has the textures, and that way I’m sure it has the right shape and proportions so it looks close to what you see in the game. I like that especially for “old” video games, like my Tomb Raider and Zelda 64 series, because they are quite “blocky”. ;o) But also my Final Fantasy series and other papercrafts started with the actual video game models. For popular games, you can often find tools made by fans that let you extract the 3D data and textures, but to make it into a papercraft model, you usually still need to tweak them a lot in a (free) 3D program because otherwise game models won’t be very suited for papercraft… Once you’re happy with the changes (it’s important to try and unfold them “in your head” already, to imagine how you would build them) I unfold them with a great tool called “Pepakura Designer”: http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/download/index.html
      You can see some examples of how I change the game model to a papercraft model in the work in progress section on my weblog too: http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/search/label/Final%20Fantasy

      3) The third type is almost like the second type, except that I start the 3D models from scratch. I usually use SketchUp to make the 3D models from scratch, because it’s easy to use and 3D models for papercraft don’t need to be very difficult. I made the Nintendo Zapper gun and my LEGO minifigs that way for example. You can see some work in progress including how I break down the complex shapes into simpler ones to make them easier to unfold in Pepakura Designer on my weblog again: http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/search/label/LEGO

      Have fun papercrafting! ;o)

    1. Thank you for the compliments, I enjoy making papercrafts! It’s only a hobby though, so yeah, unfortunately I can’t always spend a lot of time on making new ones. :o(

      Final Fantasy is a very popular series though, and many papercrafters made papercrafts of the characters, like Kaizo, who made many FF7 papercrafts that you might like: http://kaizopapercraft.blogspot.com/search/label/Final%20Fantasy%20VII

      The Last In Line and Fezco weblogs are two more that I can remember from the top of my head right now that have a lot of FF papercrafts:

      But keep searching and I’m sure you will find more, have fun! ;o)
