One Piece “Going Merry” by Jon Leslie

 

Jonathan Leslie is what you call a “space enthustiac”. He has his own website, The Lower Hudson Valley Paper Model Giftshop, where you can download a lot of nice science fiction and space papercrafts (it’s also the d/l mirror for the Defiant redraw).

Jon has a lot of experience building all kinds of paper models, and this time he built the “Going Merry”.

 

The rigging is made by soaking thread with “cyanoacrylate glue”. This hardens the threads and bonds them together, as you can see in his “Going Merry” WIP pictures.

 

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Orange Star MD Tank by Pete Michaud (Nintendo Power)

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, for those who are interested). But still: my name is in print in an official Nintendo magazine!

Well… Actually not my real name – just my papercraft alias.

Oh well. ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model! (and featuring me in your magazine! ;o)

Majora’s Mask by Weasel

 

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!

Young Link by Jacob Shultz

 

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!

Majora’s Mask & young princess Zelda by Benjamin Hall

 

 

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!
