i really like your lego models and was woundering if you have tought about a batman or one with boy hair?
Hi there! I’m happy to hear you like my paper works! ;o) I do plan on making more papercraft LEGO minifigs in the future, but I really can’t promise you which ones, sorry…
If you’re Batfan, I did make a cartoon version of Batman once before, you can find it here: https://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/category/miscellaneous/batman/
Could you recommend a papercraft project plz? i need a new one, the helmet was actually really hard without instructions like the ones you make, so do you have a papercraft recommendation? thanks
It’s really impossible for me to say what kind of things other people like and don’t like of course, and what they find difficult or easy… :o(
If you have a video game or series you like, you can try looking for paper models of it: there are many papercrafters with their own website or weblog nowadays, or you can browse through sites like http://paperkraft.blogspot.com/ or http://www.papercraftmuseum.com/ (or my own http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/ of course) or one of the many other papercraft link collection sites.
After you’ve downloaded them and have a look at the templates (sometimes they’ll even show a preview of what the templates look like, or in the case of PDF files, you can see them before downloading), you can usually tell quick enough if it looks easy or not to try out. Especially paper models from video games are made with Pepakura Designer nowadays so Mac users can’t open or print them unfortunately, so you’d have to find a site that has PDF files or JPG files (sometimes in compressed file archives though like ZIP or RAR so you can’t always tell beforehand unfortunately).
Even when there are both Pepakura PDO files and PDF files for people who don’t have Windows, many people treat the Pepakura PDO files as instructions, so if you’re on a Mac, they won’t have made separate instructions, but again, it’s different for each site of course: sometimes the paper models are simple enough to make without instructions, or sometimes people made simple instructions in another form.
Big, official company sites like Canon Creative Park: http://cp.c-ij.com/en/contents/1006/ or Club Epson: http://www.clubepson.com.au/papercraftmania/download.htm or Yamaha: http://www.yamaha-motor.co.jp/global/entertainment/papercraft/ usually have a lot of models in PDF format with instructions, but they are usually not from famous video games or cartoons of course.
Sites like Paper-Replika also have a lot of different paper models in PDF file format ranging from simple to more difficult with instructions: http://www.paper-replika.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=7&Itemid=200144
Or you could even try Japanese sites like Kirin Beverage: http://www.beverage.co.jp/fun/papercraft/ or Nifty Kids http://kids.nifty.com/handmade/index.htm or one of the many others, because usually the instructions are in the form of images so you don’t really have to know Japanese to understand them. ;o)
There are some people that also make picture instructions like I do, for instance I know that Sabiediet made step-by-step pictures for his version of young Link: http://paperzelda.blogspot.com/2012/07/majoras-mask-link.html and but I dont remember everybody of course, and a lot of sites do have step-by-step instructions but the models are *very* difficult, like Uhu02’s paper models: http://uhu02.way-nifty.com/die_eule_der_minerva/036.html …
But I think if you take your time looking around, you will be able to find a lot of paper models that you might like and that are not too difficult; have fun!
Thank you very much. i will try out the links!!!!
THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH A GOOD RESOURCE
Hey I saw your work and think it is untimly awesome. I was wondering if you could come up with a couple of sephiroths. The kingdom hearts version where he has kind of a bat like cape and the ffvii sephiroth. Im a big sephiroth fan and would be a bigger fan of yours if you could do that. I hope you will. Thanks for reading. ^^ -Inzi
I’m a big Final Fantasy fan, so a papercraft Sephiroth to go with my Cloud is definitely on my to do-list, but I can’t promise you if/when I will get around to it (I really have too many ideas to do them all, I’m afraid… ;o)
Other papercrafters like Final Fantasy too of course, some years ago Kaizo made a bunch of papercraft FF7 Sephiroths: http://kaizopapercraft.blogspot.com/2008/12/sephipalooza.html
There are some more detailed papercraft Sephiroths out there already too, like this one from Pepabysmal: http://pepabysmal.blogspot.com/2010/07/sephiroth-dissidia-final-fantasy.html
Maybe if you look around a bit, you’ll be able to find more! ;o)
Have fun papercrafting!
Hi! i was wondering, if you could make a dragon, from skyrim…? if you can thats awesome, if not its ok… thanks a lot ninjatoes for being such a great resource!
Hi there! Because I have so many ideas for paper models and I can only make them in my spare time, I really can’t promise you which ones I will make in the future I’m afraid… :o(
But in the case of a papercraft Skyrim dragin, somebody made one you some time ago already: http://daishi.elementfx.com/index.php?open=papercraft
It’s very detailed and difficult to build, but maybe you’ll like it? I hope so anyway! ;o)
thank you : )
Oh! hi, so, that papercraft looks difficult, so i may do it later…. but i am building this one…… it doesnt seem to hard : ) thank you:
http://tektonten.blogspot.com/
Yes, I think the one from Daishi is really quite difficult too… If you like dragons, there are many papercraft ones to be found online if you look around a bit, some very simple and some very difficult, and anything in between of course, but not from Skyrim I’m afraid…
But I’m sure with all the paper models available nowadays,you can find one you will like to build, have fun! ;o)
Do you use the Pepakura program? I started doing papercraft with your designs and I loved your step by step pictures, but I have found that using the Pepakura Viewer program makes it so much easier to see where each piece goes together in a 3-D view. I was looking to do the King of Red Lions and looking through your instructions seems a little confusing. I was wondering if you had a way to view it with Pepakura. Thanks for all the cool papercrafts :)
Hi there! ;o)
Many of my papercraft models are simply done by hand, but for my paper models like the ones from the Zelda series I do use Pepakura Designer to unfold them.
But because of the way I make them and I always copy+paste the fixed parts of several Pepakura *.pdo files into one paper model and I do a lot of last fixes and finishing touches in Photoshop after that, there are a lot of things that aren’t in the Pepakura *.pdo files…
So although I do use Pepakura Designer, there aren’t really finished, complete *.pdo files for the paper models I make and I only release them as complete PDF of Jpeg files that have all the fixed and complete parts.
The King of Red Lions really is quite tricky model, especially the figurehead; in my Picasa picture albums there are some schematics and 3D views that might help you, you can find the links to them in the King of Red Lions post (the numbered links): https://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/2006/08/21/the-legend-of-zelda-king-of-red-lions/
But it is still a difficult part! Be sure to take your times, and make sure you don’t forget any folds and that you fold them the right way (up or down). Fold lines can be difficult to see on the printed version (or maybe you are even building the version without lines) so often it helps to check the PDF file on your computer to see if you didn’t forget any fold lines.
Then if you’re still not sure you got it right, you can try fitting the parts together without glue first, and sometimes if it doesn’t fit correctly, you can see what you did wrong that way, and fold the parts the correct way without having to print a new sheet because you already glued it together…
The King of Red Lions is a challenging model, but if you take your time (don’t feel bad if you have to leave it alone for a while because it’s getting too annoying because it’s so difficult…! ;o) I’m sure you can do it!
I’m sorry I can’t really help you better, but I hope that if you keep trying, you will be able to figure out the difficult pieces so you can build your own papercraft King of Red Lions!
Have fun building!
So… i was one during if you could make a small papercraft figure, but make him completely blank… just with lines. Because i would like to have a paper craft, but kind of like draw on it to make my owlish……?
when i download the finn, and jake, it opens the folder, but there are no accual templates : (
I tried the Mediafire link, and the templates do seem to be there when I unzip the ZIP-file… Maybe you’re confused by the *.png image files? They look a bit like an unfolded Finn & Jake, but they are only textures, not papercraft templates!
The papercraft templates are the *.pdo files, and there’s a version with fold lines (“- con lineas.pdo”) and a version without fold lines (“- sin lineas.pdo”). You can open *.pdo files to print with Pepakura Viewer (you can download it for free here), but Pepakura Designer will only work on Windows computers… (there’s no Mac version I’m afraid, if you’re using a Mac computer…? :o(
I hope you can find and open the *.pdo files! (if you’re not on a Mac computer…!)
: ( ima mac user
the second link is weird….. it is spanish, and there are no acual print outs?
Halelulah! (i dont know where the j goes XD) Thank you so much. i will most likely use the second link! thanks!
I’m glad I could steer you in the right direction! ;o)
There are lots of papercraft sites in foreign languages on the internet of course, but navigating websites really isn’t that difficult even if you don’t understand the text:
If you move your cursor around, you will see it change whenever you hover a link (don’t forget that images can be links too!) and then normally you can check the status bar at the bottom of your browser window where that link will take you.
The X3darts site two download links actually, just below the word “Download” in red: one option if you want to use the Mediafire download site, and the other option is for when you want to use the 4Shared download site (that one needs you to have account thre, though…)
Can you make finn from adventure time? sorry i keep requesting stuff, but i cant find a good finn template, there are only the wierd blocky type templates :(. its fine if not :)
Yeah, of course there are the official Cartoon Network Adventure Time papercraft toys (link) and many fans also made their own simple paper toys!
There are also a some a bit more detailed paper models already, like the one from X3d: http://x3darts.blogspot.com/p/downloads.html
Or of course last year’s Paperpokés April Fool’s model: http://www.pokemonpapercraft.net/2012/04/adventure-time-papercraft-finn-and-jake.html ;o)
They’re a bit more detailed than the simple paper toys, so maybe you’ll like them if you hadn’t found them already? I’m afraid I have to give you the same answer as always: although I really like cartoons, movies and video games, I really can’t promise which models I’ll do in the future, because even I don’t know which ones I’ll make yet…! ;o)
