Comments:

This was an enjoyable model to build that actually turned out to be taller than I had expected. I suggest (in contrary with what I did) that you use the smooth papercraft technique when building this model. That should improve the overall appearance of the finished model. Personally, the only problem I have with the design of this model is the fact that the head, body, arms, tail, legs and feet are all separate pieces that have to be attached to one another. This takes a bit of quality away of the finished model, since it does not look like one complete "solid" model (especially at the neck). The advantage of this, however, is the fact that you can build the model with a more "personalized pose".

This is another great model by Ninjatoes that is very enjoyable to build. What amazes me the most is the fact that  this model is able to stand on its own - this just goes to show you once again what a great designer Ninjatoes is. The template of this model is a good example of the effective use of alternating glue tabs, where the glue tabs are on both sides of the pieces that connect to each other (like a zipper). This makes the model easier to build and it also improves the appearance of the finished model.

Comments:

The biggest problem with this model is that the template is very crowded, since all 33 pieces are squeezed onto one page. This can make the building process a bit frustrating. A general problem with a dark-coloured model like Dialga is that if you use the colour overflow function of Pepakura Viewer, it is difficult to see the real edges of the pieces when you cut them out. On the other hand, if you do not use this function any white edges (caused by imperfect cutting or gluing) will be more prominent against the dark colour of the model.

This model turned out quite well considering that it was my first papercraft model. Mario is well designed and not that difficult to build. The most difficult part is closing the spherical head, therefore I closed it at the back of the head to hide any imperfections. To get the best result I suggest using the smooth papercraft technique when building this model. If you like Mario and you like papercraft, I definitely recommend this model.

This is a great model by the Paperpokés team that is not that difficult to build. It might be a good idea to glue a weight (like a coin) on the inside of the bottom of the tail (on which Sentret stands) to ensure that the model stands upright.

Unfortunately there are no instructions for this model, which might make it a bit difficult to assemble. Also, this model could have been designed much better (e.g. the way the parts are connected as well as the appearance of the model). It's disappointing that a not-so-great model was created for this great character.

This is quite an interesting model that does not take very long to assemble. The model that I built is a recolour by Scott Schaller of the original model designed by Jonny Chiba. Even though there are no instructions, it's not difficult to figure out how to assemble the model.

Like all the models by Ninjatoes, this model is well designed, and the instructions are complete and easy to understand. This results in an enjoyable building experience. Because the model is relatively small, I used 80 gsm paper (120 gsm would also work).

I really enjoyed building this model. It is well designed and relatively simple to assemble. I would recommend building the head and the front of the body first, then the back of the body and then closing the model at the bottom of the body. This way you should have enough space to attach all the parts before closing the model, as well as hiding some imperfections that could result when closing the model.

Although the only "instructions" are some reference pictures taken during the building of the model, it's actually quite simple to assemble. The finished model also makes a great addition to any papercraft collection (or just to display it on its own).

This model is well designed and it turns out great if you just take your time while building it. I used 80 gsm paper (120 gsm paper would also work), which makes the small parts easier to assemble.

This model is quite challenging (partly because it wasn't unfolded very well), but if you follow the instructions carefully you should be ok. Since this model is 37cm tall, I would recommend using 120 gsm paper to ensure that it is sturdy. If you want to improve the appearance of the finished model, you can print black blocks (created with graphics editing software like Paint) on the back of the pages over the wings and the fins at the side of Cell's head.

GotMiley2 created a template for the green Pepakura Dragon that you see when you start Pepakura Viewer. The template can be downloaded here.

Comments:

Most  of the information that you need are included in the instructions. Unfortunately this model wasn’t unfolded very well (especially the feet). There are also some important tabs missing that you need to make provision for when you cut out the pieces in order to assemble it successfully (refer to the instructions for help in this regard). Another disappointing thing about the design is that there are “missing parts”. This causes openings at the bottom of the body, the bottom of the feet, the tip of the tail and the tip of the horns. There is an advantage to this though – it makes the model easier to assemble. I would advise you to cut out the wings and the arms so that there are no white edges around them, since that will just improve the whole appearance of the model.
