13-07-2007: Justin Kraus, a fellow Dutchman, sent me this picture of Majora’s Mask that he built.
Beware not to stare into its eyes too long, or you too may become mesmerized and fall under the spell of this evil mask…
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
25-06-2007: “Sawasdee krub”, or: hello there! It had been a while since anybody sent me a picture of their “Going Merry” so I guess it was due again. ;o)
One Piece still is a very popular anime, in Thailand as well: Bee sent me this picture of the “Going Merry” he built in front of a Thai One Piece comic.
It took him two months, and I think he did a great job! Here’s another picture.
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
19-06-2007: Charles French from Arkansas, USA, assures me he did eat and sleep every once in a while building my models, but his build times really are amazingly fast!
He built the Zapper in 2 weeks, but adult Link in just 5 days, and young Link and the King of Red Lions in this picture in just 4 and 8 days, Majora’s Mask in only 30-45 minutes and Princess Zelda in 2 days.
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
12-06-2007: Evil masks are now turning up all over the world, even in Denmark at the home of Stephanie Loitz!
Luckily for us, she is working hard on building Link and Zelda to take care of this threat. And with ChokipetaKOBO’s Four Swords Link as back-up, we *should* be safe I think. ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

29-05-2007: It took Lin Kiat from Singapore only two hours to make this Majora’s Mask as his first papercraft.
It seems the evil powers within the mask have taken over a UHU glue stick! I don’t think the world is in any immediate danger, though.
But wait a minute… Was the Moon always so close to Earth..?
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
26-05-2007: Toni Allen built my young princess Zelda, Majora’s Mask and Link models, as you can see. But wait, there’s more!
Not only did she make some nice display stands, she also made a Navi (the little fairy that guides Link in Ocarina of Time) out of a blue pom-pom, a little copperwire and some shiny fabric.
Here’s a close-up of Link and one of Navi, and here’s one of Princess Zelda.
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
19-05-2007: Tom also built some other paper models that can be found on the GotOrioN.com website: picture 3 | picture 4
16-05-2007: hailing from the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, Tom ‘Meatloaf’ Broadwood has sent me his picture of the Blue Moon APC he built!
The little guys on top of the tanks are without a doubt the most difficult parts of my Advance Wars papercraft models, so Tom did some experimenting to build them like stuffing the inside of the head and wrapping it with sticky tape: picture
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
08-05-2007: a little while ago, I was contacted by Adam Norton, who works as a freelancer for GamesMaster Magazine, “the UK’s best-selling multiformat videogame magazine!” ;o)
He wanted to ask me a couple of short questions for a small interview for the section “We Really Love Games” (featured in the May 2007 issue no. 185 on page 55). He sent me a copy and for those that don’t live in the UK and still want to read it, I was allowed to scan it to show it here.
What can I say? I just Really Love Games. ;o)
15-04-2007: Angelo made me aware that in step 73 on King’s instructions, it says to “cut slits in part 90” but that should be part 91 (it’s not the only mistake in the numbering I made, but you’ll find that out yourself when you build it. ;o)
He managed to build wolf Link in just two days and the King of Red Lions in one week! And just to prove to you that I’m not the only paper model designer out there: here’s a picture of the many other paper models that Angelo built.
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
11-06-2008: Zac sent in another paper model he built, or rather two of them: Ocarina of Time Link & Epona. This time, it took him just two days to build both! ;o)
My newest Link model fits on Epona’s back of course, and by coincidence I found out that he fits on Wolf Link’s back too. And thanks to Zac, I now know that he also fits on the back of a dragon! ;o)
18-03-2007: Zac built this young Link in just four days, and he did a great job I think!
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
26-02-2007: It’s only been a week and a half since I uploaded my new wolf Link papercraft model to my site, but already I received this entry for the Ninjatoes’ hall of fame. Thore must have been working on it 24/7!
I don’t know if you can tell from this small picture, but it’s the version with lines. It’s much easier to build than the lineless version, and because most of textures are quite dark anyway, the fold lines aren’t really dominant.
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!!

17-01-2007: As you can see, it’s another Star Trek model: the U.S.S. Defiant NX-74205, built by Nathan Dumont from England.
It’s actually the redraw version with improved textures, done by Bill Perry. My original version has “watercolored textures”, and although I actually like the effect, the redraw version looks really great as well.
Nathan has his own website about all kinds of stuff at http://www.nathandumont.com/, and he has uploaded a few more pictures of his paper Defiant there.
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
15-12-2006: another boat, but this time it’s the King of Red Lions from the GameCube game the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
It’s built by Red Yoshi, and it took him no less then three months! Not 24/7 of course: it’s best to take breaks in between when you’re building a big papercraft like this one to prevent yourself from going crazy…
The Link figure you see isn’t mine, it was originally designed by ChokipetaKOBO as a free gift in the Japanese games magazine Dengeki Cube (now Dengeki DS Style).
Red Yoshi started making his own papercrafts on the Nintendo Papercraft blog!
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
19-08-2006: Robin Munsterman from the Netherlands expanded his Orange Star army with the Green Earth, Blue Moon and Yellow Comet Troops. They don’t really seem to get along though, as you can see in this picture…
Luckily, before the fighting began, Robin was able to take a picture of the complete lineup. ;o)
12-07-2006: I get e-mails from all over the world, but it’s extra fun to know that people from my own country are enjoying my papercraft models too! ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
16-06-2006: with all those “Trekkies” around, I was wondering when somebody was going to send me a picture of one of my Star Trek models they built.
Well, here it is: Deep Space Nine, built by Martin from the Czech Republic. The photo was taken with a mobile phone, but it still looks better than most of the pictures I took with a regular camera… ;o)
Thank you fo building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
07-06-2006: One Piece seems to be an immensely popular anime: the “Going Merry” is also the model that people send in for my hall of fame the most.
This one was built by Cecilia Sanchez Alanis from Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Here’s another picture and here’s an even more detailed view. I really like the pictures because they show how an ordinary piece of blue plastic makes for an excellent sea!
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
26-01-2006: This Advance Wars army was built by Sebastien from France. Not only did he do a great job assembling all those units, but he even took the time and effort to modify them!
Now the characters can leave their vehicles and they can fight on Infantry units: picture 2 | picture 3
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
13-09-2006: The picture is a bit blurry, but you can still make out a Blue Moon MD Tank, built by Max Bolingbroke from the United Kingdom.
The amazing thing is, he used an ordinary Pritt Stick to build the model! Anyone who has used a Pritt Stick before will know what an incredible feat that is! How did he do it? In his own words:
“With difficulty, and huge amounts of glue.”
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
09-08-2006: I guess it was just a matter of time before somebody built Majora’s Mask to full size to try to take over the world…
Obviously, such a big size mask needed to be reinforced with cardboard to prevent it from sagging.
Next to it are a smaller Majora’s Mask and young princess Zelda. The models are all so shiny because they’re coated with glaze.
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
09-08-2006: Well, here are some more amazing builds: Chris from England claims to be “a bit of a Zelda fan”, but I say anyone that builds two Links is more than a bit of a fan!
Actually, one of them is made from regular printer paper, and the other one using cardstock. Can you tell which is which?
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
01-11-2006: You know, I seem to get a lot of e-mails lately from natural papercraft talents. I myself started off with some very simple paper models and slowly developed the skills to make more sophisticated models.
But take Flynn for instance; his first papercraft was a simple car, but for his second papercraft, he chose my “Going Merry”. Not the simplest model available for free on the web, but he did a very nice job as you can see in this second picture.
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!!

29-06-2006: I got a message from Pete Michaud; he writes for Nintendo Power Magazine and he is a big fan of Ninjatoes’ papercraft webpage!
Well… Actually he just told me he built my Orange Star MD Tank… But he had a lot of fun building it, and he did an article about it in issue nr. 207 (September 2006) of Nintendo Power Magazine!
Well… Actually they were a little cramped for space, so he just mentioned my papercraft website in the “Community” section (page 89 “Origami Wars”: picture). But still: my name is in print in an official Nintendo magazine!
Well… Actually not my real name – just my papercraft alias.
…but that’s still very cool of course! ;o)
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model! (and featuring me in your magazine! ;o)
01-09-2006: Weasel tells me he made this Majora’s Mask entirely with packing tape, not a single drop of glue.
I think that’s quite a feat: I mean, if I had to do this with just packing tape it would look, well… “different”…
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
01-09-2006: Here’s another Link, built by Jacob Shultz. He has made a small website of his own, including an origami gallery where you can find another picture of Link and one of Lara Croft’s red snowmobile as well!
The Triforce in the picture is made out of LEGO bricks. You know, I really think LEGO should talk with Nintendo about doing a LEGO Zelda series. I’d definitely buy those!!
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
31-08-2006: Benjamin Hall from Nottingham, England created his own fiery backdrop for the Majora’s Mask he built, and a Hyrule Castle courtyard for young princess Zelda.
Unfortunately, because he had to use just ordinary printer paper and a Pritt Stick, many of the glue tabs are already letting go… Nonetheless, he tells me he had fun building the models and that has earned him a place in the hall of fame!!
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

07-08-2006: It’s official: when I retire, I’m gonna live in Tyrol! Just look at the beautiful rooftops, sky and green hills in this picture!
Oh, and you also might want to take a look at the paper Link that Cosimo from South Tyrol (the Italian part) built. An amazing job, it looks even better than my own one! (but that’s not really *that* amazing, though… ;o)
I’m pleased to see that it’s actually buildable for you guys!
