ninjatoes, i know this isnt really about papercraft but it is kindaaaa, nut i was wondering if you could please tell me a link to download pepakura for mac, yesyes i know about wine, but it dies not work on my computer so IF YOU COULD and only if you could, please send a link to pepakura designer for a mac os x. if not it is alright. THANK YOU and have a nice day ;)
I’m afraid the creators of Pepakura Designer/Viewer simply never made a MAC version, and I don’t know if they ever will: http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/user/userqanda.html#q1-1 :o(
I’m afraid I never used a MAC OS, so I can’t help you set up a Windows emulator like Boot Camp, VMware or WINE, but there should be plenty of tutorials online.
For just building Pepakura-made paper models in *.pdo format, you can ask a friend to open them in the free Pepakura Viewer program (or you can do so at school/work yourself) and print them for you (or make a PDF file out of them; if the creator of the model didn’t include separate instructions, it might be difficult to figure out how to build the model though…!) but for making your own papercraft models if you can’t use Pepakura Designer, you could also try making them simply by hand, or with an “unfold” plugin for programs like Blender or Sketchup: https://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/comment-page-127/#comment-21360
I’m sorry I can’t really help you better than this, but Pepakura is a Windows-only program I’m afraid…! :o(
For a craft knife I would strongly recommend getting a Swann Morton number 3 handle and some no 10 (curved) and 11(straight) scalpel blades. These are easily obtained on that famous auction site (E-something!). These blades are much sharper that any craft knife and will cut with greater ease and accuracy, and work out quite cheap so you won’t try to keep using them when they are past their best for sharpness.
Thank you for your suggestion! I think everybody should make their own choice of course, and they can see that a crafts knife doesn’t have to be very expensive to be good. ;o)
im making sora!
I hope you like him! Take your time and have fun! ;o)
can YOU make a clone trooper papercraft PLZ!!!!!?
I’m happy to hear your paper model is turning out so well. ;o)
Although I haven’t made many Star Wars models yet, I’m actually a big sci-fi fan, and I would definitely like to make some more papercraft Star Wars models in the future, both vehicles and characters. But with all the ideas I have, I can’t promise you if or when I’ll make a papercraft clone trooper of my own, sorry… (I’m sure you already know about Noturno Sukhoi who make many papercraft Star Wars models, including clone troopers!)
im using gloss paper and it looks boss THANK YOU SO MUCH NINJATOES!!!!!!!!
I thought to suggest modifying the figurine of Batman to resemble Flash instead. there would be some alterations to the arms, but from there it would mostly be changes in the color instead.
Perhaps one of the figurines of Lara Croft can be modified to resemble Wonder Woman.
I have had these suggestions made to me in fact. The characters Flash and Wonder Woman are quite popular among women.
I don’t know if I’ll ever make an original papercraft Flash and/or Wonder Woman really, so re-colouring and modifying existing templates is a good idea if you like those characters (you know how to do that of course! ;o)
I think there are only simple, “chibified” paper toys of Flash and Wonder Woman right now (although I could be wrong of course! ;o) The details often make the character but like you say, as a start, you can definitely make use of existing templates, yes!
WoW! this is awesome! the tutorial is VERY helpful thank you so much im making one right now!
I hope you’ll have fun building! ;o)
Hii..i really love this site..actually there is a lot of my favorite characters here.. I’m noob..but i wanna try to make some of papercraft. I have downloaded a lot of model here..and it’s FREE!!!thanks a lot..
Btw, is there any suggestion for me which one is the easier for The Legend of Zelda.. this is my first time.. I gonna buy papercraft tools..really exited!!
I wonder when I am able to make wolf link..
I really need ur help in some part of the instruction.. I will be glad if you wanna help me for the certain part of the instruction that I still confuse..thanks!!:D
Hi there! I’m happy to hear you like my papercraft models and are so enthustiastic to try them out! ;o)
For most models you really don’t need a lot of special tools, but I do recommend getting a good crafts knife, a rubber cutting mat, and a good glue.
It’s difficult to say which models are the easiest, because what’s easy for one person, might be difficult for somebody else, and even “simple” models can have some tricky parts. But if you take your time and pre-shape and fold the parts properly before you try to glue them on, you should be able to figure everything out I think.
If you’re not sure how to fold a certain part, try it without glue first, to see if it fits that way and if it looks like the instructions. That way if it doesn’t fit, you can always change it and fold it a different way (you can only either fold a fold line up or down ;o)
Most people that built my Zelda models, say they started with Majora’s Mask or princess Zelda, or even young Link (but it’s a bit tricky to attach his cap to his hair). Most of my newer models aren’t too difficult I think, but some of them from Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, have separate fingers that are quite small!
I think the most difficult ones are Super Smash Bros. Melee Link, wolf Link, and the King of Red Lions, because they have some very small parts. You can probably tell by looking at the parts and instructions which models would be very difficult, and which ones are easier for you.
I’m always happy to try and help people who are having trouble, but of course I can’t help everybody all the time, so I help you’ll be able to figure most thing yourself with the instructions and your own logic thinking of course. ;o)
Here’s a good papercraft building tutorial for beginners, it explains the most basic techniques very well (although I don’t recommend using your finger to apply the glue…): http://www.yamaha-motor.co.jp/global/entertainment/papercraft/howto/0002.html
Take your time when building a paper model, and I’m sure you’ll be amazed at the things you can make already!
Have fun! ;o)
where should i get a cutting board?
I was able to buy a rubber cutting mat from the same office supply store where I get most of my office supplies. Usually, big department stores or even toy shops will also have a “crafts department” where you can probably find craft knives, glue, cutting mats and all kinds of other crafts supplies too.
At specialized hobby or crafts stores they will normally have cutting mats too of course, but specialized stores are usually a bit more expensive, and a cheap rubber cutting mat from a department store or toy shop is usually just as good. ;o)
If you can’t find it in the shop, ask the people from your local department store or toy shop if they sell rubber cutting mats, or where you could buy one.
You can also look around online in webshops of course, but I hope you can find one at your local toy shop or department store. ;o)
Ok. so i love your site. Ive made just about all of them at some point or another…I have even downloaded pepakura and metasequa so i could make my own paterns, but im pretty fail at figuring out the metaseq program. Im wondering, and really really hoping, if you could maybe do the “Dr. Horrible” characters…Dr horrible, cpt hammer and penny primarily… Maybe could you please? ^_^ Pretty pretty please ^_^
Thank you for the compliment, I’m glad you like my paper works so much! ;o)
Making a paper model from scratch, can be very difficult, especially if you want to make a famous character… I’m afraid I really can’t promise you which models I’ll make in the future, and I must admit that I don’t really follow Dr. Horrible, so the chance is not very big, sorry… :o(
The only Dr. Horrible paper models I know are these paper toys from Spitefuls: http://spitefuls.com/papercraft.html
They’re just simple paper toys, so they’re not very detailed or anything, but that’s what makes them so cute I think. You probably already found them, but so far, they’re the only ones I can remember from the top of my head…
Is ok, at least you have other fun stuff! Oh? And if you have netflix? I strongly recommend Dr horrible, its on instant queue. Or watching its first tv appearance on oct 21 (?) on the CW ^_^ Lol
And keep the fun times coming! You do rock for that!
Hello! Sorry for my bad english ^^ i’m french . I love papercraft and yours are very beautyful i have do the pirate of LEGO and the result is amasing. I will downloading the knight
Thank you for the compliment, I’m glad you like my paper LEGO minifigs! ;o) If you already did captain Redbeard the Pirate captain, then many of the parts for the Black Knight will be familiar. Some of the new parts like the dragon feathers are a bit difficult, but if you take your time, I’m sure you can do it! ;o)
Have fun building!
