This is link to listing of Japanese paper model sites.
Some of them have been posted here before, some are dead and some are new to me.

If you come across any good models , please post the links.


There are TWO steam locomotive paper models for download here. Also links to page showing how to build them.

Ooops. I see now that this is link #4 on your website - Kami-Mokei. I also see that link number 14 is to a series of Japan Railways models, which includes the old bullet train - perfect for finishing off my Tokyo Station model. Thanks!

By the way, I have had some luck ordering models from this source - he corresponds in English, but the shipping and weight can be tricky. HobbyLink Japan: Japan Culture | HobbyLink Japan. and search on Papercraft

Thanks, John.

Kami-Mokei is a superb site. I think you could spend a lifetime exporing it. I believe that Master Yu knows the people who run that site.

Kami Mokei means "Paper Models," but (although I can't find the posting just now), I recall Master Yu telling us that with different characters for "kami" it means (phonetically) Modelling God or Superior Modelling. It is certainly true that "kami" can be spelled 紙, which means "paper," or 神, which means "god," or 上, which means top or upper or superior.

I took a look around the HobbyLink on-line catalogue.
There are things there that range from odd (plastic food), to weird (cult monsters) , to items I should not mention on a family oriented site.
And they do stock a lot of "papercrafts"

Where else could you find plastic gyoza?
