Yuna (gunner dressphere) by Errant

30-11-2008: It took Errant about 9 hours to build this Yuna papercraft model out of cardstock.

Although he found some of the smaller parts on the hands and head difficult to make, he must have enjoyed building it, because he’s thinking on trying Rikku, Auron and the “Going Merry” as well!

I guess he’s gonna be busy for a while ;o) but I’m sure it will be lots of fun!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Super Smash Bros. Melee Link by Crownflame

24-11-2008: On her DeviantArt page, she tells it took her “SOOOOO long too make!”

But then again, it *is* the greatest thing ever… ;o)

Crownflame made my other Zelda models first, so she already had some experience building this. You can tell, too, because it is a terrific build, which even made the school newspaper!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Zelda models & Sword of the Phoenix by Vivek Mahendra

22-10-2008: Only 9 years old, Vivek Mahendra has no trouble making paper models like my Sword of the Phoenix, or Majora’s Mask. The Thwomp block can be found in the Mario section of Nintendopapercraft.com.

Building wolf Link proved more difficult, but Vivek managed to build that one as well! You can see a picture of it here: picture.

Anybody can build a paper model, as long as you have fun doing so! ;o)

Zelda models by Brandon

20-09-2008: Brandon from Florida (USA) is the first to send me a picture of my Midna model!

For now, Midna is sitting on a wooden bench, but Brandon is planning on building wolf Link as well for Midna to ride.

Midna is one of my newest models, Brandon also built some of my “oldies”, Like young Link and Majora’s Mask.

Have fun building wolf Link, and I hope it turns out just as great as these three!

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Link & Epona by Kristelle

17-09-2008: A little while ago, Pierre Janin sent me some pictures and links to build threads of the Final Fantasy models he built.

The papercraft fever must be contagious, because his girlfriend Kristelle also finished one of my paper models now: Epona & Link. And just like for Pierre’s builds, there is a build thread for Kristelle’s one as well at the French speaking Forum en Papier.

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Kim Possible by Russ

03-09-2008: Russ from Toronto, Canada, had built plastic models before, but never a paper one. And if you browse Russ’s favourites in his DeviantArt gallery, you can see why he picked my Kim Possible model to be his first. ;o)

Because he didn’t have any cardstock handy, he printed Kim on photo paper.

I don’t know if that’s where the shine comes from though, it may also be from the fact that he coated it with Microscale’s Liquid Decal Film to make it waterproof (although I still wouldn’t take it swimming of course!)

It was his first paper model, and it looks quite well I think. I’m also happy to hear that “there were no major dramas during construction.” ;o)

Russ wants to try again with thinner paper to make the seams less obvious so I wish him all the fun!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

King of Red Lions by Louise Roberts

30-08-2008: It took Louise almost 2 weeks to build my King of Red Lions model, and it provided her with hours of entertainment she says.

She had to reinforce the mast with a chopstick because the sail ended up being too heavy, and she has a tip for anyone who wants to build King, namely to print the sail on regular light-weight paper instead of cardstock.

If you want to see some more pictures, check out Louise’s Melon Cheesecake blog!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Zelda models by Andrea Hulme

30-08-2008: Andrea Hulme from Dayton, Ohio (USA) read about my site in the Nintendo Power Magazine and decided to build some of my models.

She did a great job on my King of Red Lions, but because the mast was beginning to bend under the weight of the sail, she used a fishing line (picture) to keep it from falling on Chokipeta’s WW Link!

To top it off, she also built my young Link and Majora’s Mask. It took her a while, but she had fun doing so!

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!!

Zelda models by alikakadri

16-01-2009: of course alikakadri just *had* to build my Schnauzer as well, but somewhere she made a mistake and somehow it ended it up in a sitting position, looking up at the ceiling: picture

She thought others might like to build a sitting Schnauzer as, so she tried to re-create what went wrong: picture 1 | picture 2 | picture 3

19-09-2008: by now, alikakadri has built almost all my Zelda models! ;o) Here’s Midna on a Rubik’s Cube, Midna Riding wolf Link (nice job painting wolf Link’s “beard”! ;o), Fierce Deity Link (repainted from another papercraft model) and here’s a group shot.

07-09-2008: alikakadri’s latest build is of Epona & Link, and she did a great job painting them again I think! ;o)

28-08-2008: Super Smash Bros. Melee Link is probably the most difficult model I made, and for alikakadri, it was even more difficult!

She could only access the internet at the public library and print a few pages in black and white, so printing the 100+ pictures of my instructions wasn’t really an option, so she decided she would try it without them!

I already added a lot of guides on the template, and it was a big help for her, but I can imagine it must still have been very difficult! But she did a great job building it, and she even painted it by hand to give the black and white prints these nice colours!

A really great job! ;o)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

T-Rex trophy by Wildman

21-08-2008: It’s a nice idea of course to make the T-Rex trophy lifesized; the template I provided will let you build it at about 10.5 cm (4 inches) long from neck to nose.

Wildman found out that the T-Rex “Sue” at the Field Museum in Chicago, has a skull of 5 feet (over 1.5 meters) long…

Update: Wildman sent me the files for a 400% version (624 kB ZIP file). On 10 pages, he has included the parts for the small version on the blank spaces as well. You can see a picture of his own 400% build here.

One Piece “Going Merry” by Joanna James

17-08-2008: Joanna James from Malaysia built this “Going Merry” for her boyfriend, who is a big fan of the One Piece anime.

It’s a very nice thing to do, because he doesn’t have the time to do it himself – and he’s just not very good at building stuff (her words, not mine! ;o)

It’s the third paper model she made for him as a gift, and this one took her three days. I’m sure he appreciates any gift from his girlfriend, but maybe this one even more!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Link & Epona by Rose M.

14-08-2008: Rose M. from Pueblo (Colorado) was looking for some Triforce earrings online when she found my website and thought it might be fun to try one of my papercraft models.

She built my young princess Zelda model first, but wasn’t satisfied with the result. But I think she can be proud of this Link & Epona; even her cat thinks so too! ;o)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Final Fantasy models & “Delta Flyer” by Pierre Janin

05-11-2008: Pierre Janin did it again! ;o) A new picture and build thread thread from Yuna this time!

30-08-2008: Here’s a new picture and build build thread from Pierre Janin’s latest build of one of my models: Auron, from Final Fantasy X!

14-07-2008: Not only did Pierre Janin from Switzerland do a great job building my “Delta Flyer”, he also documented his progress in a build thread over at Le Forum en Papier with good pictures showing step by step how he built them.

He did the same for Rikku (picture here). The forum itself is in French, but luckily the pictures are in English. ;o)

Besides being fun to watch, build threads can be quite useful if you’re building the same model and are having some trouble. If you want to see more of Pierre’s completed models, you can take a look at his own Darktrooper page.

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Link & Epona by Quetzal

07-07-2008: Spending a whole week building a Link & Epona papercraft model as a gift for a dear friend and then discovering you took the pictures with a camera for which you don’t have the cable to connect it to the computer anymore… ;o)

That’s what happened to Quetzal from Queens, New York. These pictures were taken with a different camera while viewing the pictures on a television screen.

The other picture is just as fuzzy, but his friend liked the gift so we know the model turned out really nice!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Super Smash Bros. Melee Link & Auron by Matthew Stevens

06-06-2008: My Super Smash Bros. Melee Link model is a very challenging model with a lot of small parts, but Matthew Stevens from Northwest Washington did an awesome job building it: just look at the detail in the face!

It took him 3 months, because he only worked on it off and on. Auron took him about a month to build, but judging by the results, I think it was absolutely worth it, don’t you? ;o)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Wolf Link by Tristan Levine

06-06-2008: Since she had nothing better to do anyway, why not build a paper wolf Link, Tristan Levine from Washington, USA, thought?

And time how long it took: 22:15 hours to be exact, spread out over one week.

It was her very first encounter with papercraft, and it turned a bit wobbly. It still looks very good, though, and now it can spend the rest of its days on top of Tristan’s Wii.

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
