Ninjatoes' papercraft webpage 
How do you print em out on 4shared
All the papercraft models on my website are direct downloads from my personal webspace, so for my own papercraft models, you needn’t bother with websites like 4Shared. ;o)
Other papercraft websites did use 4Shared in the past though, when it was a lot easier to use than it is now…
There have always been a lot of advertisements on 4Shared (and other “free” filehosts of course ;o) and it looks like they’re really trying to push an ad for the Citrio browser now… To get rid of it, use an ad-blocker, or change the zoom-level of your browser window so you can actually see the button to see the “X” close button for ads that fill your entire screen.
Next, on the actual 4Shared page, there will be a lot of big “Download” buttons, but most of them are advertisements again. There will be a line with a couple of buttons “Download”, “Share”, “Add to my account”, and Twitter and Google+ buttons: that’s the “Download” button you want to click.
Close the window that pops-up (it’s just ads again…), and on the 4Shared page, you may have to get rid of the Citrio ad again, and then click the “Waiting time: 20 seconds FREE DOWNLOAD” button (the other ones are ads again, and the “PRIORITY DOWNLOAD” is for paying 4Shared users.
You’re still not there, though…! A while ago already, 4Shared made a change so that you now need to log in before you can download anything from 4Shared. You can use a Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or Instagram account, or you can create a new, separate 4Shared account.
Once you’re logged in, you may have to get rid of the Citrio ad again to get back to the 4Shared page, and you will see that the timer has begun to run, and after 20 seconds, your download should finally start…! ;o)
Then, papercraft models downloaded from filehosts will be packed inside ZIP or RAR archives, which you will need to unpack first with “ZIP” tools that may already be on your computer, or that you can download from the internet like http://www.7-zip.org/
Inside the ZIP or RAR archive will be the parts and/or instructions, often in PDF format, or just simple Jpeg images, but often also in Pepakura PDO format, which you can open and view with the free Pepakura Viewer you can get here http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/download/viewer.html, but which will only on Windows computers though…!
There are many different file hosts that papercrafters use of course, the trick is just to recognize the ads and steer clear of clicking them to avoid dozens of annoying pop-ups. Some filehosts require you to register an account, and some don’t. It’s a good idea to make a separate e-mail account that you can use to register with on sites like 4Shared, so you can keep your main e-mail account safe and clear of spam.
If you have trouble navigating websites like 4Shared that are really set up to trick you to click the wrong link, ask a family member or a friend that is knowledgeable about computers and the internet to help you; they can sit down with you and show you exactly how to work with websites like that and how to recognize the right buttons and links…! ;o)
Here’s a list of papper crafts I’d like to see not to ne a dictator take your time on these. Girahim, white Wolfos and? A dead hand
Hi there! A lot of people often ask me this, but because papercraft is just a hobby that I can only do in my scarce spare time, I really can’t promise anybody to make a specific papercraft model that they’d like to see… :o(
So although I’m a big Zelda fan, and I will try to make many more Zelda models in the future, it might be a long time before I make a new Zelda model, and I can’t promise it will be one from your list, sorry…!
But don’t forget I’m not the only papercrafter that likes the Zelda series! ;o) If you look on http://hyrulepapercraft.blogspot.com/2008/12/dead-hand.html, you can find a Dead Hand made by Xenonray already for instance! ;o)
Another person called Paperlegend also made a White Wolfos: http://paperzelda.blogspot.com/2012/02/ootmm-white-wolfos.html
and a Ghirahim: http://paperzelda.blogspot.com/2012/04/skyward-sword-demon-lord-ghirahim.html but to download those, you need to have a free 4Shared account; a lot of people find that troublesome, but maybe you can try leaving Paperlegend a comment on his weblog or contact him some other way if you can, or try and find it on another website.
I’m sorry I can’t help you better, but I hope you will keep enjoy papercrafting with the many other paper models, have fun building! ;o)
NinjaToes!! Why didn’t I find your blog sooner?! You have no idea how excited I am about this!
First, I have to say that your site is amazing! I have been doing a papercraft as a hobby but haven’t found my niche just yet! Your Lego collection is one of my favorite and I was wondering if you would be so kind and teach how to change the design. (Such as the program you use, or how to build different parts like you have done!). If you would be willing to offer classes, I am sure lots of people will love to see how you do your magic! It would be great to see “behind the scenes” of designing your own Lego :)
Thank you for all the compliments, I’m happy you like my papercraft works! ;o)
Papercraft is only a hobby for me too, so I really don’t give classes, haha… Some of my papercraft models are made by hand, but many of them are also made using the computer, including my papercraft LEGO minifigs.
In those cases, I start by making a digital 3D model: for my LEGO minifigs, I use Google Sketchup: http://www.sketchup.com/ but you can use really any 3D program you like.
After that, I use a program called Pepakura Designer: http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/ to unfold the 3D model into flat parts. Pepakura Designer is easy to use, and i fyou play around with it a bit you can easily learn how to use it.
Like I said, papercraft is only a hobby of mine, and making a dedicated tutorial would take up so much time, while there is no real “right” or “wrong” way to make a paper model anyway… ;o) I always say: the best way to learn how to make your own papercraft models, is to make your own papercraft models; don’t be afraid that they won’t be good, take your time to keep adjusting them until *you* are happy with it, and most importantly, have fun! ;o)
I also have a weblog where I often feature my “works in progress”, and if you browse through the old posts in the LEGO section, you can see a lot of examples of how I work: http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/search/label/LEGO
Some people remade a few of my papercraft minifigs into other minifigs by opening the PDF files in Photoshop or Gimp (or another image program that can open PDF files) and then simply drawing over the parts so that’s another simple way to make other papercraft LEGO minifigs:

I’m sorry I can’t really give you a step-by-step guide, but like I said, I’m afraid that would just take up too much of my already scarce spare time… :o(
Thank you so much for your reply!!
Those steps you have mentioned are already enough answers for me!! Thank you for taking your time :) — You are right, since this is a hobby it does make me happy while working on it. I will try to make my own though~ Definitely!!
I can’t wait to share your site with my friends!
thx ninjatoes and I would like to meet U one day unless U have Skype???
I’ll be happy if you can use some of my tips for the papercraft models you want to build. ;o)
I really like papercraft too, but really just as a solo hobby on my own occasion in my scarce spare time, so besides my webpage and some social networks, “ninjatoes” never appears as a person or real life or on Skype, no… ;o)
oh and ninja
sorry for messaging so early in the morning and your blacktron II instr is the mtron instr
plz fix
I’m afraid I can’t send you a sample of paper or anything, but
As for the transparant “paper” I sometimes use, that’s actually a plastic sheet, the kind they used for presentations in overhead projectors.
There are different kinds though: normal ones that you can only write on with felt tip pens, but that you *can’t print on*! (the printer ink will wipe off very easily!)
Then there are the printable kinds (the ones you *can* print on) in two types: for inkjet printers or laserjet printers (so which one you need depends on what type of printer you have).
For models that only use the transparant sheets as windshields or windows, you could also use some scrap packaging material though of course, instead of expensive printable overhead sheets…!
And for the LEGO astronauts, the visors are transparant yellowish/greenish, so you can also try to find some yellowish/greenish plastic sheets, instead of buying a blank sheet and printing the colour on it.
Note that you will need *very* glue (superglue/hotglue/on-second-glue/etc, experiment a bit to find what kind of glue works for you!)
The double instructions for the M:Tron and the Blacktron II minifigs is not a mistake: except for the colours, the actual parts themselves are exactly the same, so the two minifigs go together the same way as well, so you can use the same instructions for both of them. (I actually only built the torso for the Blacktron II minifig, and then used the head, helmet, airtank and legs of the M:Tron minifig for the pictures… ;o)
Again I’m sorry I can’t help you personally with finding the paper, but like I said, it’s really just a matter of asking around at the same place where you get your regular printer paper whether they sell thicker paper too, and if you ask for 120 or 160 gsm paper (or ask for “1.5 – 2x as thick as regular printer paper”), I’m sure they can help you (often the gsm is on the package too). Maybe they will even let you try out a few sheets if you ask them and tell what it’s for?
The same goes for “transparancies” (transparant sheets): if you ask for printable transparant sheets in an office supply store or the office supply department of a department store, they should know what you mean, and they should be able to give you the right kind. They can be expensive though, so often they’re only packaged by 5 or 10, and sometimes even separately.
hi ninjatoes I was wondering if you could send me a sample of your paper and transparent paper?? plz reply and if you can plz send me blacktron II with it!!!
thx bye
Hi Ninjatoes
I was wondering if you’re planning to build the LEGO cowl/mask for batman or Ironman, i think that it would be really cool to build Batman or Ironman as a paper model.
One other thing, you are not going to share the actual 3D model of your legos right? I mean the actual 3D file, by the way which program do you use the make them Sketchup or Max?!?!
Any way, your models are really fantastic, i’ll build reallysoon some Lego Starwars for my kids
Thank you to exist and to share your models with us
Although there’s a good chance I’ll make a papercraft LEGO Batman and/or Iron Man (and lots more! ;o) minifig, I really can’t promise you that it will be anytime soon, sorry… :o(
Because most parts are pretty simple, I use SketchUp to make the 3D parts for my papercraft LEGO minifigs, because it’s very easy to make simple geometrical shapes with SketchUp. But it can be difficult to make more complex shapes… (but I guess that’s the same for each 3D program)
If you browse through the LEGO section on my papercraft “WIP” and features weblog you can see the “works in progress” updates and examples of the papercraft LEGO minifigs I made so far: http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/search/label/LEGO
But you’re right, I’m afraid I don’t want to share the “raw” 3D files I used to make my first papercraft LEGO minifigure (there are so many things that I fixed afterwards, that they’re not the same as the parts on the final templates, so they wouldn’t fit together if I used those)
Because since the basic parts (arms, legs, torso, etc…) are the same each time, I don’t keep unfolding the 3D model for each new papercraft minifig I make of course! ;o)
I just change the colours of my earlier models in Photoshop, and you can do the same if you want to make a different version (some people already did: http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/2013/04/papercraft-lego-batman-bane-minifig.html ;o) The ghost for example has nice, blank parts to use: https://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/2011/08/19/lego-ghost/
And then for the new parts, you just have to make sure they fit the old parts, because they are the same size every time of course. ;o)
I’m sorry I can’t promise you to make a papercraft LEGO Batman or Iron Man anytime soon…! :o(
Hi Ninja
thank you so much for answering me … and so quick, thanks for the advise, the links, everything, I am a novice with G SketchUp, but I’ll give it a go
Keep up the good work
Have a nice day
Ru
Good friend! In the first instance I would like your headshot works are very good, then I would like to inquire if you have templates of the anime “Medabots” or you know where I can get them.
Since already thank you!
Thank you for the compliment! ;o) I’ve made many different papercraft models myself, but no Medabots yet. But I do remember a person called “storml” did make some in the past, you can find them on their DeviantArt page: http://storml.deviantart.com/gallery/
I don’t know if there are many papercraft Medabots, and these are only the few I remembered from the top of my head right now of course; but if you search around you might find some more! ;o)
Have fun building!
can you make ashe and rasler papercraft ? please?
Although I’m a big Final Fantasy fan, I’m afraid that I really can’t promise which models I will make in the future or when; papercraft is only a hobby of mine, and I simply don’t have the time to do specific requests for other people, sorry… :o(
I’m sorry I can’t help you…! :o(
Hello ninjatoes. I just started (yes i know im late XD) playing kingdom hearts 2, and i wanted to do a papercraft project related to it. I have done many of your models, and i LOVE them. So, i wanted to build a kingdom hearts Mickey mouse model, and the first one came up on deviantart but it did not include a download. I was hoping that you could either make a Mickey mouse KH2 model, or send me a link.
Much Appreciated, keep up the good work.
Oh, I’m usually late playing the “newest” games too, haha… I’m sure the papercraft KH Mickey is the one from http://touchfuzzygetdizzy.deviantart.com/gallery/12741790 ? I’m afraid I don’t know if it was ever released, or whether TouchFuzzyGetDizzy ever sent the templates to the people asking for it on his DeviantArt page so anyone else might have them…?
His last update seems to be from a while ago already, so I don’t know if he’s still active as a papercrafter…? So I’m afraid I can’t help you there; and I also can’t promise you to make a papercraft KH Mickey myself… :o( I’d like to make many more papercraft models of course, including from Kingdom Hearts (because I really like those games too ;o) but papercraft is only a hobby of mine so I don’t always have a lot of time to work on it… :o(
I’m sorry I can’t help you better, but I hope maybe you will find a way to contact TouchFuzzyGetDizzy or that you will find another paper model you’ll like! ;o)
