  1. It’s really great! I can’t wait to come back home and to try to print the “parts”))
    Thank you very much for this paper model)))

    • Thank you, I’m glad you like my papercraft DS9! ;o) It has a lot of small parts, so make sure you score, fold and pre-shape everything properly, and it will much easier to assemble.

      Have fun building!

  2. I have finally end my DS9 paper model. It is so great but small. :)
    I like to send you some photo but I cant find yours e-mail.

    • Yeah, many people are surprised when they see how small my DS9 model actually is. ;o)

      It makes it a bit challenging, but I hope you enjoyed making it! If you want me to put your picture in the hall of fame, my e-mail adress is ninjatoes@home.nl

  3. That`s paper model is beautiful, but I have problem with it. Without step-by-step instructions it is a really hard to do this model, I ask you if you could send me maybe more photos with better quality I`ll by able to finish it.

    PS. Don’t look at my grammar I write from Poland :)

    • For my DS9 model, I drew several small schematics for the hardest parts that may help you, so don’t throw away all the “scrap paper” after cutting out the parts! ;o)

      If you look at the glueing tabs, you will notice they’re all marked with numbers: those numbers are the numbers of the parts that you have to glue those glueing tabs to.

      Make sure you valley fold (. . . . lines) and mountain fold (- – - – lines) all the fold lines properly, it will help you pre-shape the parts and that way, it’s much easier to assemble the model.

      If you are not sure about how to fold a certain part, you can pre-shape and “assemble” it without glue first, and try to see if it fits that way. If it doesn’t, it’s often easy enough to see what part you need to fold differently. ;o)

      A lot of the model is symmetrical, so if you can build 1/3, you can also build the other 2/3 of course. ;o)

      Because my build is already finished, I can’t really take step-by-step pictures anymore aof course, and I’m afraid I don’t really have the time to make a completely new build…

      Even with pictures of what the parts look like finished, you will still need to figure out how to make them look way yourself of course, but if you can tell me (by e-mail please, it’s much easier for me: ninjatoes@home.nl ) which parts are really stopping you from being able to continue, I’ll see what I can do.

    • Most of my Star Trek models don’t have step-by-step instructions like my other models.

      All the glueing tabs are numbered according to the corresponding part to glue onto it, and for some specific parts, I made small “schematics”.

      Other than that, pay attention to which fold lines are valley folds and which ones are mountain folds. Look up pictures of Deep Space Nine or use the ones I made from the finished model to figure out how to fold the parts and glue them together.

      Take your time and have fun building, and I’m sure you can do it! ;o)
