Final Fantasy models and Batman by Stephen

02-12-2012: In the picture above, you can see the first 2 papercraft models Stephen ever made: my Kingdom Hearts version of Final Fantasy VII’s Cloud Strife and my The Animated Series version of Batman!

They’re not the only papercraft models he made, though:

• Here’s a picture of Final Fantasy VII’s Red XIII (made by Kaizo)
• And here’s a picture of Final Fantasy VII’s Sephiroth (also made by Kaizo)

Stephen did a great job building these papercraft models, and I think he’s a big Final Fantasy fan, so these are probably only the tip of the iceberg! ;o)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ (and other people’s!) papercraft models!

Clock Town Schnauzer by Jose (R15ABRAHAM)

26-11-2012: This cute paper dog is the Schnauzer that’s always chasing Link near the Clock Tower in The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask!

It was built by Jose, but because Jose doesn’t speak and write English very well, he made a very funny mistake at first in the description of the picture: he called it the dog from Clown Town! ;o)

But actually if you think about it, it’s not *that* strange a mistake, because some of the people that Link meets in Clock Town really do act like clowns sometimes…! ;o)

If you want to see some other papercraft models that Jose built, you can check out his DeviantArt gallery here: link

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Legend of Zelda models by Sean Fogarty

28-11-2012: You can never have too many papercraft Links, Sean must have thought! ;o)

From left to right in the back row you can see a few Links from my own papercraft webpage:

• Super Smash Bros. Melee Link
• Twilight Princess Link
• Ocarina of Time adult/Menu Link
• Majora’s Mask young Link

And in the front row, you can see two papercraft Links made by Chokipeta as a bonus gift in the Japanese Nintendo magazine Dengeki some years ago:

• Wind Waker Link
• Four Sword Adventures Link

But even though they’re all from different games, as you can see, they’re getting along very nicely! ;o)

14-11-2012: Another group picture of papercraft Link(s): picture

This time it’s Epona Link, Melee Link, and the new Menu Link that I only finished a few days ago!

Epona Link and Melee Link are models that Sean already built earlier, and he only needs to do a few more parts on Menu Link and then he’ll have finished all three regular adult Links I made so far. ;o)

05-11-2012: Now here’s something you don’t see in your average Zelda game…: picture

Ocarina of Time Epona Link, Super Smash Bros. Melee Link, and Majora’s Mask Link have killed a big wolf and are planning to eat its head…?!

But hopefully they will realize that the wolf is actually wolf Link, the alternate form of Twilight Princess Link (“Um, guys…?”) and refrain from eating him…! ;o)

18-10-2012: Sean told me about the new papercraft models he made earlier, and here’s a picture of his 2 favourite models: picture

You’ll recognize them as Link from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Auron, from Final Fantasy X of course. ;o)

They’re both characters that don’t take any nonsense, so it’s a good thing Sean did such a great job building them! ;o)

Update 14-10-2012: Sean tells me he has been quite busy, building two of my most challenging papercraft models (which both happen to be Legend of Zelda models) namely Super Smash Bros. Melee Link and wolf Link!

He also built the black mage Lulu, from Final Fantasy X , but of course he’s still a Zelda fan, so he also built Majora’s Mask and a Spirit Tracks Phantom, from the Paper Zelda website. ;o)

Update 18-08-2012: Sean has been busy building Sora, Cloud and Auron as well! (he tells me Auron is his new, favourite papercraft model! ;o)

Videos of Sora are already on his Youtube channel again (video 1 | video 2) and more videos are on the way! ;o)

Update 12-07-2012: Sean let me know that he made two other papercraft Zelda models besides the two already mentioned!

Before making Twilight Link, he already made Zora armor Link, and after young Link, he also made Oni Link. ;o)

He uploaded a new video of those two here: link

Don’t forget to check out his other videos, he has some tips on building young Link too! ;o)

11-07-2012: Sean told me about a video he made of the papercraft Majora’s Mask young Link that he built!

Here’s a screenshot of it, and the full video can be found here: link

But wait: Sean built Twilight Princess Link too! ;o) That video can be on his Youtube channel as well: link

That one took him about 4 days to make, and I think he did a great job on both of them!

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Batman Returns Batmobile by Sunny

24-11-2012: Sunny sent me a whole set of pictures of the papercraft Batmobile that he built from my papercraft webpage!

The unofficial name is the “Keaton Car“, because Michael Keaton played the role of Batman in the two movies (Batman and Batman Returns) in which this version of the Batmobile was used.

My original papercraft Batmobile was hand drawn and coloured with a black marker, and I made it so that the cockpit roof and the jet engine could be removed, as shown in this picture made by Sunny: picture 2

Because the Batmobile is all black of course, the “white lines” you often get on papercraft models from the edges of the paper, can become extra visible, as you can see in this picture: picture 3

Although Sunny didn’t mention it explicitly in his message, I think he found a great solution to that by painting over his papercraft Batmobile with black paint, because in the other pictures, you can see no more white lines and the whole model looks a single, smooth black, just like the real Batmobile! ;o)

picture 4 | picture 5 | picture 6

So that’s a great job building his very own papercraft Batmobile, and a great inventivity from Sunny!

Update: Sunny sent me some more pictures of the building process of his papercraft Batmobile!

I always find it very neat to see other people’s papercraft projects too, how a bunch of 2D paper sheets transform into a 3D paper model. ;o)

As you can see in Sunny’s pictures, you really don’t need a lot of tools to build a papercraft model:

picture 1 | picture 2 | picture 3 | picture 4 | picture 5 | picture 6

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Sora + Zelda models by Angélique

23-11-2012: Angélique showed me this picture of my papercraft Sora that she built, taken on top of her keyboard synthesizer!

Maybe Sora is a bit confused, because a keyboard is completely different from a keyblade of course…! ;o)

Because Angélique normally builds much bigger papercraft models, Sora was a bit more challenging than she was used to, but as you can see, Sora turned out really great nonetheless: picture 2 | picture 3

And now you are all probably dying to see all the other papercraft models built by Angélique?

Well you’re in luck, because she made a whole site dedicated to her papercraft hobby: Papercraft Lilik ! ;o)

If you look in the Zelda section there, you can see a few more of my papercraft models that Angélique built, like Epona and Link, Midna, young Link from Majora’s Mask, young princess Zelda and Twilight Link, but be sure to visit the rest of Angelique’s papercraft weblog as well to see all her other models!

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ (and other people’s! ;o) papercraft models!

Zelda models by Ray Tha Man

22-11-2012: I made a few papercraft Links before, but this is the latest one (Ocarina of Time adult/Menu Link), built by Ray Tha Man! ;o)

As you can see, it turned out really great! Ray also built my King of Red Lions earlier: picture

The figurehead was the hardest part on that one, but it looks very good as well! ;o)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Skyward Impa by Lisa

20-11-2012: Lisa from Germany built my papercraft young Impa from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword!

Lisa’s paper Impa turned out really good, but that’s probably because Lisa is so creative: you can see lots of her paintings, drawings and other projects in her DeviantArt gallery: link

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Aluminium can Batmen by Bob Penikas

11-11-2012: The London 2012 Olympic Games Coca Cola can Batman that Bob made served as a prototype for this second version, made from Guiness beer cans.

With the experience he got from building the prototype Coca Cola Batman, Bob only used one layer for Batman’s cape and made this one a little bit bigger (9 5/8 inches instead of 7 3/4 inches): picture 2 | picture 3

As you can see, the black Guinness beer cans are very suitable for making an aluminium can Batman!

The gold coloured utility belt was made from a Michelob beer can, and the skin tone of his strong, masculine jaw came from an A&W Root Beer can again.

Bob had only just finished his Guinness Batman (literally!) when he took it and his Coca Cola Batman to a meeting of the Southern California Area Historical Miniatures Society (SCAHMS): picture 4

As you can see, the SCAHMS meetings are an event where you can find lots of great miniatures made from all kinds of materials, and Bob tells me got some very good comments on his aluminium can Batmen! ;o)

31-10-2012: Remember those aluminium beverage can papercraft models made by Machaon I told you about a while ago?

Well, those pictures inspired Bob Penikas to make his own aluminium can Batman: picture 1

Bob’s version is made out of London 2012 Olympic Games Coca Cola cans, an A&W root beer can for his skin tone jaw, and a Miller’s beer can for his utility belt!

Bob suggests making him a bit taller than the original to make it easier to make the small parts like the fingers out of aluminium cans instead of paper.

Some parts had to be patched more than he’d like, even though I personally think Coca Cola Batman still looks great! ;o)

Another issue that arose, was that using two layers of aluminium for the cape (front and back) resulted into it being much too heavy and Batman tumbling over: picture 2 :o(

To keep everything together, Bob used Loktite Stik’n Seal Original Waterproof adhesive, but if you know a better alternative, he’s open to suggestions! ;o)

I think Bob did a great job on his Coca Cola Batman, and it’s great to see people inspire each other like this! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model (out of aluminium! ;o)

Cloud, Auron and Batman by amerakat

04-11-2012: In the picture above, you’ll of course recognize Cloud Strife (from Final Fantasy VII / Kingdom Hearts) and Auron (from Final Fantasy X).

They were both built by amerakat and as you can see, he did a wonderful job!

It was not the first papercraft model amerakat built though; that was Batman. ;o)

Because amerakat didn’t have any new papercraft tools yet but just used the simple tools that anybody usually has lying around, it was a little bit difficult he says, but after a few hours, his papercraft Batman was finished: picture

And he liked it so much that he decided to keep papercrafting! ;o)

In amerakat’s DeviantArt gallery, you can see some more papercraft models that amerakat built so far, and also his wonderful pencil drawings: link

It’s definitely worth a look, so be sure to check it out! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Epona & Link by Rijali

05-11-2012: Rijali from Indonesia sent me this picture of the papercraft Epona and Link that he built!

He even scaled down the templates a bit by printing them on A5 paper instead of A4 paper!

He says he found it easy to build and when it was finished, it looked great!

I have to agree with him when I see the picture, Rijali really did a great job building Epona and Link! ;o)

Here’s a picture from the other side: picture 2

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Batman by Henry Dig

29-10-2012: Henry Dig from Vietnam built my papercraft Batman, The New Batman Adventures version!

He did a great job, which is not surprising because he has lots of experience building papercraft models!

In his DeviantArt gallery, you can see a (*much*) bigger picture of papercraft Batman, and lots more pictures of other papercraft models he built: link

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Paper Mario by Papercraft Indonesia

14-08-2012: Papercraft is very popular in Indonesia (no doubt for a large part thanks to the Paper-Replika website! ;o) and here is more proof!

This picture of my papercraft Mario (and several other papercraft models from various websites! ;o) was posted by PapercraftID (Papercraft Indonesia) some time ago on their Twitter account: link

Although the hands weren’t finished yet in this picture, Papercraft Mario already looks really good I think! ;o)

If you want to see more of PapercraftID‘s pictures, you can look up their Twitter account with posted images here: link

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!

Aluminium can Batman by Machaon

16-10-2012: A few days ago, Space sent me a message about somebody who made lots of paper models, including my papercraft Animated Series Batman.

Out of aluminium beverage cans.

Made from different kinds of cans to get the colours just right, aluminium Batman looks fantastic I think!

I was able to contact the person who made it, called Machaon, and she agreed to be in the hall of fame here. ;o)

If you want to see more pictures of aluminium Batman though, you should really visit her Akikann Kurafuto weblog here: link

And be sure to check out the rest of her weblog (link) and her other craft website (link) too, because Machaon has made *lots* more papercraft models with aluminium cans, from teddy bears to Pokémon, all kinds of animals and lots more!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes aluminium papercraft model! ;o)

(if you’re inspired to do the same, do be very careful of course, because a paper cut is nothing compared to the cuts you can get from a thin, sharp piece of aluminium…!)

Link & Epona by Raylene

12-10-2012: Raylene uses the name legendarydragonstar on her DeviantArt page, because she really loves dragons!

But as you can see, she really likes the Legend of Zelda too! ;o)

She built my papercraft Epona + Link, and she did a really great job too because as you can see, they both look great!

You might be wondering why they both look so blackened, but maybe that’s because they’ve just had a close encounter with the fiery breath of that purple dragon in the picture…?

Still though, I don’t think Link would ever run away from a dragon like that!

(although I do have to note, that the game-Link that always goes straight after fire-breathing dragons isn’t made out of paper like this one of course… ;o)

In Raylene’s DeviantArt gallery you can find several more papercraft models she built, and don’t be surprised to see a few dragons! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Cloud by Sotong Kring

14-10-2012: Sotong Kring just keeps building and building, it seems! ;o) Here’s a new paper model built by him already: Cloud Strife!

From this angle, you can really see how huge the Buster Sword is: you wouldn’t want to run into that if you were Cloud’s enemy…

Another great build by Sotong Kring!

13-10-2012: A few days ago, Sotong Kring sent me a picture of the paper Mario he built, but now he showed me two new pictures of models he also built!

One of them is Underworld Lara, and Sotong Kring took a beautiful picture of her: picture

Lara seems to have made it out of the shark infested waters, and is now making her way through the jungle in search of some ancient temple ruins…

And the other one is a T-Rex dinosaur, who seems to have already met Lara (seeing as it is already feets up: picture ;o)

Two more great builds by Sotong Kring!

10-10-2012: Sotong Kring tells me he’s a fan of my blog, because he can find many papercraft models through it.

And as you can see, one of the paper models he found, was my very own papercraft Mario: picture ;o)

I think Sotong’s paper Mario looks really wonderful, and from the looks of it, Mario himself is pretty happy with the job Sotong did too! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Cloud and young princess Zelda by Mr Trollen

13-10-2012: Mr Trollen sent me a new tweet saying he has a problem… He’s gotten addicted to papercraft! ;o)

Maybe it’s the fumes from the glue…? All I can say though, is do take a break every once in a while, and don’t forget about your other hobbies and tasks! ;o)

In the picture you can see Cloud that Mr Trollen already finished last time, and Snorlax and Hatsune Miku are done now too!

And there’s even a new model that he built since last time, young Princess Zelda!

We wish Mr Trollen the best with his new addiction, and I hope he can find a good balance between building paper models and the other stuff he likes/has to do…! ;o)

04-10-2012: Mr Trollen tells me on Twitter, that Cloud is the first Ninjatoes’ papercraft model he built, and I think it looks really good: picture

In the foreground you can see a papercraft Pokémon Snorlax from the PaperPokés website and Vocaloid Hatsune Miku from Seisaku Diary in progress.

If Mr Trollen does just as good a job on those as he did on Cloud, they will definitely turn out great as well!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Oni Link versus Twilight Link by Samuel Herrera

02-10-2012: Samuel Herrera made an absolutely amazing stop-motion video of Fierce Deity Link battling Twilight Hero Link: video link

It turns out, Fierce Deity Link en Twilight Hero Link are both after the same treasure, and when they finally meet in the final room of the Sacred Living Room Dungeon, they fight to decided who gets the “ultimate” prize… ;o)

Of course paper models are no action figures, so it’s not so easy to make a stop-motion video of them, but Samuel did a great job!

For Zelda fans, there are lots of recognizable sound effects and visual effects, and although it must have taken Samuel a lot of time, you can really see he must have had a lot of fun making it! ;o)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models! (and making a video out of them! ;o)

Linebeck by Joost

29-09-2012: Joost from the Netherlands built the papercraft Linebeck from The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass you see in this picture!

He says there are some white lines from the paper on the back of his Linebeck figure, but that does not take away that he did a great job building it!

The most difficult part he found was the small pluck of hair on top of Linebeck’s head, but from the looks of it, he managed to build it just fine nonetheless! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Star Trek U.S.S. Voyager by PinkieDraw

20-09-2012: A fellow Star Trek: Voyager fan from the Netherlands built my hand drawn papercraft U.S.S. Voyager starship!

I think PinkieDraw did a great job, but that’s not so surprising for such a creative person: just take a look at the drawings that she made in her DeviantArt gallery: link

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Young Link by Jack

28-08-2012: Jack finished this papercraft young Link a few weeks ago, but he hadn’t sent me a picture yet until now.

And I’m glad he did, because it looks really nice! ;o) Here’s another picture, from the back this time: picture

Jack’s understandingly very proud of it, he even says it’s one of the best papercraft models he made so far! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
