Kingdom Hearts II Sora by Jan

27-12-2014: Would you believe that this papercraft Sora from the Kingdom Hearts II video game was only the first papercraft model that Jan built…?!

I had to read twice, because he did such a great job! Jan sent two more pictures, to show that it’s not a trick, and that his papercraft Sora looks good from all angles:
picture 2 | picture 3

Because papercraft models can collect a lot of dust, you should really clean them regularly; or you can do like Jan, and keep it nice and safe in a plastic box to prevent dust getting onto it in the first place! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Paper Mario 3D by Beav3rboy

2013-08-10: Here’s an excellent build of my Paper(craft) Mario 3D again, by Beav3rboy! ;o)

“Paper Mario 3D” is actually only Beav3rboy’s latest addition to his papercraft collection though, he has a whole cabinet filled with papercraft models he built!

And it’s a really broad collection too, ranging from a Star Wars scout trooper on a speederbike to Santa and his sleigh and even a Skyrim Frost Dragon, and lots more cartoon and video game characters!

Don’t believe me? Then check out his DeviantArt gallery and see for yourself: link

I just hope he can still find a spot for his new Paper Mario…! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

American McGee’s Alice and more by Bruno

2013-07-16: Everybody knows the story of the cute, young Alice that falls down a rabbit hole and ends up in a wondrous and magical place called “Wonderland”!

But Bruno likes American McGee’s version of the story of “Alice” better, where she is a bit older and Wonderland is much darker and more… evil…

So that’s why he decided to build my papercraft version of American McGee’s Alice as you can see! ;o)

He was a little bit dreading having to do the hands and the fingers because they looked so difficult, but then he was able to focus himself on the job and he managed to finish them!

If you’re impressed by Bruno’s build of American McGee’s Alice, have a look at his DeviantArt gallery, where you can see many other papercraft models he built already, including my own Kingdom Hearts Sora and the Koume and Kotake witches and Midna from the Zelda series: link

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Link, Sora and Yuna by cdncarlie

18-05-2013: This Ocarina of Time adult Link was the first papercraft model where cdncarlie coloured all the white edges of the paper to get rid of the “white lines” on the final paper model.

Despite the extra time it took, she really likes the result and I think you’ll have to agree that it looks really good! ;o)

Ocarina of Time Link wasn’t the first papercraft model cdncarlie built though: two other paper models of mine that she built are Kingdom Hearts’ Sora and Final Fantasy X-2’s Yuna: picture | picture

Yuna is actually an old model already, from March 2009, and at the time, it was the most difficult model cdncarlie did so far!

She gave Yuna away as a gift, but she feels that with all the papercrafting experience she has now (in her DeviantArt gallery, you can see lots more papercraft models she built: link !) she could do an even better job now! ;o)

cdncarlie is a bit of a perfectionist, so she would also like to fix Sora’s Kingdom Key keyblade (it looks a bit crooked) but the problem is that she already gave that one away as a gift too…! ;o)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Sora by Thiago

14-04-2013: This papercraft Sora was built by Thiago, and as you can see in the picture, he did a great job! ;o)

But that’s not surprising I think, because if you take a look at Thiago’s DeviantArt gallery, you can see he’s had lot of practice building other papercraft models too: link ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Sora by Rodrigo (RoderickXIII)

18-10-2012: Rodrigo (RoderickXIII) from Chile built this papercraft Sora from the game Kingdom Hearts 2!

Most parts of paper Sora aren’t too difficult I think, but there are some tricky parts like the hands and hair, but from the looks of it, Rodrigo did a great job!

He says he was very pleased with the way it went together, so I’m happy to hear that of course! ;o)

Together with Alfredo (AlfredxD), Rodrigo set up a DeviantArt account under the name NotNotGuilty, and although right now Sora is the only papercraft model to see there yet, you can also see lots of drawings from all kinds of video games, movies and other things they made!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Yellow Comet Rockets by Florian

17-04-2012: Florian (alias Dornogol) built my Advance Wars Yellow Comet Rocket unit!

The mechanism to move the rocket tubes up and down is quite tricky to build on this unit, and although everything moved fine at first, Florian used toothpicks to lock them in place.

And despite some trouble with the small binoculars, Florian did a great job building the little soldier too! ;o)

He says he’s confident to build more complex models now, and I’m sure he can! If you have a look at his DeviantArt gallery, you can see he already has lots of experience doing paper models and other art projects: link

Earlier, he even built my Kingdom Hearts Sora and Oogie Boogie; you can see a picture of them together with some MineCraft models and Tubbypaws dioramas here: picture

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Sora by LoloStudio

13-02-2012: With almost 100 pieces (95 to be exact ;o) it took Logan almost 30 hours to build this papercraft Kingdom Hearts 2 Sora!

But he says it was worth it, because he’s very happy with his paper model! ;o)

If you want to read a bit more about it, or see the nice Baby Peach (made by Sabi96) that Logan also built, have a look at LoloStudio’s DeviantArt gallery: link

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Kingdom Hearts & Zelda models by Joshua

30-10-2011: This time, Joshua sent me a group picture of all the papercraft models he built so far! From left to right they are:

For some of the models, he used a technique called “edge-colouring” to get rid of the white lines you get from the thickness of the paper.

It’s a little bit of extra work of course, but as you can see on his paper model of Cloud, the result is great: picture

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

25-10-2011: It took Joshua 15 hours to build his papercraft Kingdom Hearts Sora, and I think he did a really good job: picture

It isn’t the first papercraft model that Joshua built: before Sora, he also built Link and Epona (so that’s actually two models ;o) and now he’s building Oogie Boogie, from Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas (and Kingdom Hearts).

I think maybe it’s for Halloween? ;o) But I’m sure it’s also because he likes the Kingdom Hearts game (because it really is a great game! ;o)

Thank you for building this Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Sora by Josh LedBread

09-05-2011: After 26 hours of papercrafting, Josh can finally sit back and admire his work!

He built Sora as a gift for his girlfriend, whom he introduced to the amazing worlds of Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, making her a fan as well! ;o)

So he really wanted to do the best he could! For the best effect, Josh used a technique called edge-colouring, using markers to get rid of the white lines of the paper.

He didn’t have all the exact right colours, so he says the edges pop out a bit more than he’d like, but I think it looks pretty good: picture 2 | picture 3

He also scored the fold lines with the back of his X-Acto knife where he needed to make sharp, crisp folds. This made folding those parts much easier, for example the hair: picture 4

I’m sure any Kingdom Hearts fan, old or new, would love a Sora to put on their desk, so I hope Josh’s girlfriend will enjoy his gift and appreciate the hours he put into it for her! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Sora by Esteban

05-09-2010: Another Sora, this time from Esteban from Germany! It was a tricky build (especially the tiny fingers he says ;o) but he did a great job nonetheless!

There are two more pictures of Sora in Esteban’s DeviantArt gallery: picture 2 | picture 3

Sora is not the only paper model he made, though, so don’t forget to visit the rest of his gallery as well! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Sora x2 by Riet Papier

15-08-2010: On Riet Papier’s YouTube channel you can see a wonderful little papercraft Christmas village, but her weblog shows that she also really loves making dollhouses out of paper and carton!

But of course once you have a dollhouse, you need dolls to live in it. And for a paper dollhouse, what better dolls than paper dolls? ;o)

So Riet decided to download and build some papercraft figurines. But of course, they had to match her dollhouses, so after making a regular sized Sora, she also made a mere 8 cm tall Sora!

I hope he likes tea: picture ;o)

There are more pictures of Sora and his fellow residents here, and lots more pictures of Riet’s dollhouses on her weblog, so be sure to check it out!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Sora by Andre Giovanni

26-07-2010: Andre tells me not to mind the mess on his desk, but I’m sure everybody will be looking more at his great build of Sora anyway! ;o)

09-04-2009: Earlier, Andre was the second person to send me a picture of their papercraft Cloud model (although he was hoping to be the first… ;o)

But first or second, it still looks a very good build! It can be a bit confusing to figure out how to glue all the hair parts together, so Andre included an extra picture to show how well he did it! But that’s no surprise, because we can see in the background, he has had lots of practice! ;o)

It looks great Andre, I hope you had fun building!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Kingdom Hearts 2 Sora by Kupo

01-07-2010: building this Sora was a lot more time consuming for Kupo than building chibi Sora (second picture from the bottom in this post) but judging from the pictures, it was worth it! ;o)

22-05-2010: Kupo has been really busy papercrafting all kinds of models since last time, besides building American McGee’s Alice, he also expanded his Blue Moon army with a Stealth Fighter and APC: picture

And that’s only a fraction of the new models that he built! You can see many more of them of them on his own weblog here, including some close-ups of Alice, and some papercraft projects of his own; be sure to check it out! ;o)

08-02-2010: When you’re done gazing at the two robots and Kupo’s hand-made Pokéball in this picture, what do you think of his Neotank build? I think it looks pretty good!

He even made a video showing how the legs move with the mechanism inside: link

Kupo also built several of my Zelda models (picture 1 | picture 2) and as you can see, he likes building all kind of models from other people as well, so check out his weblog (and works-in-progress-blog) to see all his other builds!

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Sora by Carlos Gomez

04-06-2010: only a few days after I released it, Carlos already sends me a picture of Sora!

08-04-2009: Carlos strikes again! This time not with a Zelda model, but with his favourite character from his favourite RPG, Cloud Strife! You can see the picture here: picture 2

18-09-2007: the first picture that Carlos “Charly” Gomez (“MasteR”) from Mexicali (Baja California) in Mexico sent me, shows you what a big Legend of Zelda fan he is!

He built not one, not two, but all of my Zelda models, which include some of the most challenging ones I have to offer.

It took him something like three months, but from what I can see, it was definately worth the effort!

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
