Oogie Boogie, Homer and Zelda models by Khalid

30-05-2011: Another picture of Khalid; he has built quite a few paper models already! From left to right, they are:

• Kyle Broflovski from South Park (made by Paperinside)
• Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas
• young Princess Zelda from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
• Twilight Link from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
• Zora armor Link (ZaL) also from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
• Homer Simpson from The Simpsons

Who knows what he may built next! ;o)

20-05-2011: Khalid is a fast builder! While he was waiting for me to post his pictures of Twilight Link, he already made another paper model: Oogie Boogie!

Here are two pictures of both of them together: picture 1 | picture 2

And here’s but also one of Oogie Boogie alone: picture

Although I did make Oogie Boogie a bit easier to build than Twilight Link, Khalid must still have worked pretty fast to finish it so quickly! ;o)

18-05-2011: This papercraft Link from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was built by Khalid.

Khalid had some trouble to get the small fingers right at first, but as you can see in the picture, in the end he really did to do a very good job on them, so that Link can hold his Master Sword and Hylian Shield!

He showed me several more pictures, including these close-ups of Link’s upper body and head: picture 2 | picture 3

So luckily, Khalid didn’t give up on making the fingers, and I think he can be very proud of his papercraft Twilight Link! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

American McGee’s Alice by Jean-Pierre

17-05-2011: Jean-Pierre made this nice little Alice in Wonderland diorama with my American McGee’s Alice model and the Queen of Hearts from the Constructing Wonderland website.

Here’s another picture of Alice by herself: picture

I included the Vorpal Blade in my model as Alice’s weapon of choice, but the croquet Mallet that Jean-Pierre made for her is another one of the deadly weapons she can use, many of which can be found here.

The boney American McGee’s Cheshire Cat is still on my to do-list to paperfy, but Jean-Pierre made a simple standie that looks pretty good with Alice too: picture ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Paper Mario by Aaron Mears

16-05-2011: Aaron found some time again to do some more papercrafting this weekend, and he decided to build my 3D Paper Mario!

The picture was taken in computer class: Aaron’s classmates (and his teacher ;o) are always very impressed whenever he brings with him another one of his builds! ;o)

09-05-2011: After all the Zelda models that Aaron built earlier, this time he made an Advance Wars unit!

Although he never played the game, he liked the look of the Orange Star Fighter I made recently, so he decided to printed it off and and build it! ;o)

His pictures really show the scale of my papercraft Advance Wars units, most of them easily fit your hand: picture 1 | picture 2

This has its advantages, of course: for instance, you don’t have to invest in expensive Anti-Air units and Missiles anymore, since you can just pluck enemy Fighters from the sky should they be foolish enough to attack you: picture ;o)

04-08-2010: We had already seen Aaron’s wolf Link, but now he also built Midna: picture

Although I really made her to fit on the back of wolf Link, Aaron tells me she is also quite comfortable on the armrest of the chair that he made himself: picture

20-12-2009: Aaron’s thirst for Zelda models is far from satisfied yet, as he also built Hero outfit Link now! Here he is together with Zora armor Link, and here’s a picture of it alone.

22-10-2009: Two new models by Aaron Mears! The first one is princess Zelda, and the second one is wolf Link. Aaron has been working on them off and on all during summer break, and a month into school. So that’s how many Zelda models already? Well, you can see in this groupshot!

01-07-2009 Aaron promised me he’d send some new pictures, and here they are! The first one is a rebuild of young Link that he did earlier. I guess he just wanted to make it *perfect* (and now he also repainted the sheeth to make it look like the blade of the sword! ;o)

The second one is Fierce Deity Link. You can see another Fierce Deity Link in super deformed style in the picture, it’s a repaint of ChokiPETA’s Four Swords Link and can be downloaded from here.

The final one in this update is my newest model, Zora armor Link. I’m very glad to see that most people find it relatively easy to build, and the results like this one are usually great as well! ;o)

09-06-2009: More paper Zelda models from Aaron! This time it’s the King of Red Lions. And Aaron also built Josh Darrah’s Great Sea Base! (picture)

17-05-2009: I guess Aaron forgot to mention he also built my Epona & Link models! ;o) You can see them here, together with young Link and another Link from a different papercraft creator (which you can download here). If I remember correctly, it was made with Tenkai, the predecessor of Pepakura Designer.

And that concludes the random trivia lesson for today. ;o)

10-05-2009: Aaron sends me a few pictures of the young Link papercraft model he built. The small treasure chest he’s trying to open in this picture, can be found here (but it’s probably just another Small Key again, that you can only use in this dungeon… ;o)

Aaron also built the Clock Town Schnauzer model from my website. When Link is transformed into a Deku Scrub, it growls at you and attacks you, but after Link is transformed back to normal, the both of them get along just fine, as you can see in this picture.

The last picture shows that when Link is not playing with dogs, he likes to play King Arthur and pull swords out of stones. If you want to try yourself, you can download the template for the Master Sword and pedestal here.

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

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!
