Keyblade Danbo by Sabi3293

25-04-2013: Look at this cute little papercraft scene built by Sabine from Germany: it’s the cute little cardboard robot “Danbo“, wanting to be a Keyblade wielding hero like Sora from Kingdom Hearts! ;o)

My own papercraft Sora that Danbo got the Keyblade from to play with can be found here, and Danbo himself is a character from the Japanese manga “Yotsuba&!

The cute cardboard robot made his appearance in chapter 12 of the manga and quickly became very popular on the internet, and many people have made their own papercraft version of him!

Sabine says she can’t remember exactly where she got the moveable papercraft Danbo that she built, but she thinks it might be the one made by yuiiwae, who you can find on DeviantArt here: link

And while you’re on DeviantArt, have a look at the other papercraft models that Sabine built in her own gallery, and of course her polymer clay figures and other artwork too: link ;o)

Thank you for letting Danbo play with a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model! ;o)

Young princess Zelda by DanteSagittariKnight

21-04-2013: This wonderful version of young princess Zelda was built by DanteSagittariKnight from Chile!

Even though the picture is a bit dark, you can see how DanteSagittariKnight chose not to make sharp folds of all the fold lines on the templates.

As a result, you get a papercraft princess Zelda that’s a bit more smoother looking, and I think it looks great! ;o)

If you want to see more great things, you can visit DanteSagittariKnight’s DeviantArt gallery, where you can see several other papercraft models that he built, and also the drawings he made: link

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Tomb Raider Legend Lara Croft by Lullaby Blue

19-04-2013: Lullaby Blue kept me up to date (picture 1 | picture 2) on his progress as he was building the papercraft Tomb Raider Legend Lara Croft, and here it is finished! ;o)

To build his paper Lara, he used 120 gsm and the result looks really great as you can see for yourself: picture 3 | picture 4 | picture 5

Just look at how perfectly Lullaby Blue made Lara’s head: picture

I think you’ll agree he really did a fantastic job, and he can be really proud of his papercraft Lara! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Tomb Raider III Lara Croft & quad bike by TR-maniac

21-01-2011: Here’s another Lara Croft built by TR-maniac; this time it’s the Tomb Raider III version on her jungle quadbike riding down a muddy slope! ;o)

And although every Tomb Raider fan knows of course that the quad bike can run over most enemies no problem, TR-maniac decided that Lara mustn’t be unarmed even when driving, so he made his own Dual Pistols for Lara: picture

At first he also wanted to make Lara’s braid, but he found it would be too small to build, because Lara herself had to be quite small to fit on the quad bike

It made some parts quite difficult to build enough already he says, but I think he did a great job!

23-08-2008: There’s only one picture of TR-maniac’s Tomb Raider Legend Lara Croft paper model here, but don’t worry, because you can see a few more pictures of her in his DeviantArt gallery!

At first (being a TR-maniac ;o) he just wanted to have his own Lara Croft statue, but he quickly became obsesed with papercraft and now it causes him some sleepness nights every now and then…

Sorry about that… ;o)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Paper Mario by Lauren

26-12-2010: only a couple of days after I released it, Lauren already sent me this picture of the paper Mario she built: a very fast and a very good build! ;o)

13-10-2010: after taking a break for a couple of months, Lauren decided to make a new paper model again, and I’m of course very proud that she chose my Majora’s Mask Postman! ;o)

07-01-2010: I don’t know if it’s the extra practice or just her talent for papercraft, but the Underworld wetsuit Lara from Tomb Raider Lauren made after that turned out very good too: picture 1 | picture 2 !

And not only that, but Lauren also decided to build young Link and princess Zelda a second time and do an even better job!

31-12-2009: Lauren sent me some pictures of her Twilight Princess Link !

Although the thinner cardstock she used made it a bit more difficult using the little slots and tabs on the head, I think it looks great! Here you can see it in anticipation for the New Year’s Day fireworks! ;o)

18-10-2009: Here’s a very nice build of Lara’s Extreme Depth Suit (although Lauren couldn’t find a suited transparant sheet to make the helmet visor, the opaque versions looks pretty neat as well! ;o)

And Lauren must be a Simpsons fan as well, because look who we have here: it’s Homer Simpson himself! ;o) And something totally different, but also a great build: she also made my new Final Fantasy Moomba doll!

21-06-2009: I only just uploaded my newest Zora armor Link model two days ago, and Lauren already sent me some new pictures of her completed ZaL! And I know what you’re thinking, but it doesn’t look rushed at all! picture 1 | picture 2 | picture 3

13-04-2009: another non-Zelda model from Lauren, it’s my newest Cloud model. She glued on the legs last so she could work out a good balance, and although she says the hair and fingers gave her some troubles, you wouldn’t say so from just the picture I think, anyway. ;o)

20-01-2009: Lauren revealed to me that Ganondorf and Epona & Link weren’t the first models she made: she also did Fierce Deity Linkyoung princess Zeldayoung Link and Majora’s Mask, Midna and wolf Link, and (surprise! ;o) a non-Zelda model as well, namely, Lara Croft.

18-01-2009: I think we got Lauren pretty well hooked on papercraft now, because so shortly after Ganondorf, she also made Epona & Link (see the picture here) in just 2 days, and she’s already planning the next one! ;o)

14-01-2009: The first pictures Lauren sent me, were of her Ganondorf model, and it was very good one!

She told me she had a lot of fun building him, but I also think you can also tell by the quality of the build! ;o)

It’ll probably come as no surprise to you that Lauren is pretty creative: if you have time you should check out her Deviantart gallery with lots of nice computer paintings including several from the Legend of Zelda!

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Lara Croft & young Link by Gabriel Guerrero

05-05-2010:  Before he made Lara in her wetsuit from Tomb Raider Underworld, he already built Lara Croft in her Tomb Raider Legend outfit.

Here are two pictures of the two Lara’s together: picture 1 | picture 2

09-04-2010: Gabriel Guerrero lives in México Distrito Federal (Mexico City), one of the biggest cities in the world!

But he proves even people in *huge* cities like México D.F. can find the time to enjoy building a paper model!

Here’s a picture of Gabriel’s Lara, in her Tomb Raider Legend outfit, and here’s one of young Link.

You can see that he’s very creative too: the sword in Link’s hand is his own adjustment to my model that he downloaded!

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Tomb Raider diorama by Elso

10-07-2009: for those of you who don’t want to have to sign up to see how Elso made this wonderful diorama, he kindly made a seperate gallery where you can see the rest of the pictures: Elso’s Photobucket

08-07-2009: Maybe you already know Elso from his life sized papercraft Terminator endoskeleton build on his weblog, but I didn’t know he was also a Tomb Raider fan!

You can see he has been very creative with my Venice motorboat and great white shark, and several of Sascha’s papercraft models as well (that swimming Lara is actually Sascha’s “Dead Lara” – but with that shark so closeby, I guess that’s only a matter of time… ;o)

He explains how he made this diorama at the Spanish speaking Modelos de Papel forum, but you have to be a member to see it… But after seeing this I’m sure you have lots of ideas of your own as well! Here are some more pictures for inspiration: picture 2 | picture 3 | picture 4

Indiana Jones by Guillermo Molina Mueses

09-12-2007:  Guillermo set a new record! ;o) Kim Possible, built in just 3 hours!

15-11-2007: I only uploaded my Indiana Jones model a couple of days ago, and already I received this picture from Guillermo, after he only started working on it yesterday!

03-11-2007: Guillermo proves again that he is a very fast builder: he built this papercraft Lara Croft in only 1 day!

02-11-2007: So there’s fast, and then there is fast

Guillermo Molina Mueses from the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean built this Rikku in only 5 hours, and Auron took him only half a day to build!

What’s more, he has only been building paper models since April 2007, and he has already built many models, as you can see on his own Bongo Papercraft blog.

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
