Now that the Advance Wars Orange Star Tank is finished, I think my next big papercraft project will be a Legend of Zelda model again.
It's always hard to choose which idea to do next, and maybe I'll do one or two side projects, but the Legend of Zelda series has so many characters that deserve to be paperfied! ;o)
Updates will be on the "Work in progress" section of my papercraft weblog: ninjatoes.blogspot.com/
Stay tuned and have fun!

Papercraft building FAQ
I often get questions about what kind of paper you should use for papercraft, what kind of glue, what does "scoring" mean, which program you need to open PDO files, and many more.
Although there's really no definitive answer to most of these questions of course, I made a small "Papercraft building FAQ" to help people with the most common questions:

Weblog daily papercraft features
Besides my own papercraft works in progress and releases, you can also find old and new papercraft models made by other people on my papercraft weblog in the Daily Features category!
Ninjatoes' papercraft weblog
As the name says, there are new free paper models to download and build every day!
Of course I don't want it to be a clone of sites like Paperkraft.net so if it's already been posted there, I'll just suffice with a retweet on my Twitter account: http://twitter.com/ninjatoespaper
But since sites like Paperkraft.net focus almost exclusively on new releases, I'll also post old models that often haven't been on Paperkraft.net before (
papercraft Star Trek runabout repaint
Before I started making papercraft models using the computer, I made them by hand, and over the years, some people have used them as the basis to give them a digital overhaul, especially my Star Trek models: http://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/category/star-trek/
And here's another one: the Deep Space Nine Danube-class runabout "Rubicon", this time by Paul McCool, who also repainted the Type-10 shuttlecraft "Chaffee" earlier: http://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/2003/07/23/star-trek-type-10-shuttlecraft-chaffee/
But it's not a mere repaint, Paul did lots of work tweaking and fine-tuning it, which tou can read all about on his own weblog, The Rosco Fil
Hand-drawn papercraft TIE-fighter WIP
Making a paper model is a lot less difficult than a lot of people think!
There are a lot of tools to help you if you want to use a computer (like Pepakura Designer: http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/ ) and you really don't have to be a 3D wizkid to make a 3D model for papercraft!
But papercraft is fun because you can build stuff out of paper of course, not because you get to stare a computer screen all the time. ;o)
So of course it's a lot more fun to just make stuff by hand directly out of paper, and sometimes it's even a lot easier that way. ;o)
Here's how I'm making a papercraft Star Wars TIE-fighter by hand, stay tuned for updates
