2023-09-11: Lautaro from Córdoba, Argentina, is a big fan of the Half-Life series and a papercraft enthusiast. That’s why he built my Gordon Freeman papercraft of course! ;o)

I always try to make my papercrafts ‘logical’ to assemble, and  I was happy to hear that Lautaro found it helpful that Gordon was made that way. :o) The hands and the head were challenging though and because Lautaro was tired he didn’t make the crowbar in the end. He also didn’t include Gordon’s glasses, bu t that was because he liked Gordon better without it. :o)

All in all he did a great job I think, and as you can see, papercraft Gordon makes a nice addition to the rest of the shelf. :o)

Thank you for downloading and building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

2023-09-10: At some point I made a papercraft model of  young Link from The Legend of Zelda series, and a lot of people seem to think that it was the first papercraft on my website that I made using the Pepakura Designer tool.

In fact, it’s not even the first Zelda papercraft I made using Pepakura Designer (that was princess Zelda herself ;o). The real first papercraft that I ever made using the computer (before, I just used a piece of paper and a pencil ;o) was the Venetian Motorboat from Tomb Raider II: picture 2 :o)

Why am I telling you about this? Well, because it’s Gwendoline’s newest papercraft build from my webpage! :o)

She actually forgot she already printed it to build it though, and on the second print, the ink ended up a bit ‘iffy’. But I actually think it makes the original textures from the game look more like weathered wood. ;o)

She also gave the model her own personal touch adding a little papercraft ramp of her own for the motorboat to jump from – you know, because Lara has to jump it through a first floor gallery to race it through the shortcut that you spend the whole level opening up to be able to finish the level before the timed gates close!

Which reminds me, Lara: you did clear the minefield in front of the gates first, right? …right?

Gwendoline’s build looks really good with the ramp add-on, and if you look underneath, you can even see an extra hommage to Lara: picture 3 :o)

2023-07-24: Despite being busy with art school, Gwendoline still made time for another Tomb Raider papercraft! :o)

This time, it isn’t one one of my own papercraft Tomb Raider vignettes, but the “Rolling Boulder” trap (and some “Deadly Spikes” at the end of the slide for good measure) by Saschacraft: picture 1 : picture 2 | picture 3 |picture 4

24-04-2022: If you want to see something cool, have a look at the great job that Valentin did on building the papercraft TIE Fighter from the classic Star Wars movies that I made in 2012 already! (I think the black and white cutting mat looks like it is made to land papercraft TIE Fighters ;o)

He says it took him countless hours, but luckily he enjoyed it and I think that really shows on the finished model!

The TIE Fighter is one of those models I made by hand, and he says the markings I made to show where everything goed helped a lot, but in the end it is thanks to the care that Valentin put into building it that the end result looks so amazing of course:

I hope you guys agree with me, and that it makes you want to try out papercraft yourself sometime like Valentin! ;o)

Thank you for buildings a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
