They look GREAT! The "full sized preview" shows me nothing, but the alternate preview gives me a good idea of what's in there. Any specific reason you've chosen not to use a color figure on the product thumbnail? Regarding cutfiles... it doesn't look like you've included regmarks on the pages, have you? The only set that makes me nervous about making cutfiles is the orc tribe - it looks like it as narrow left/right margins compared to the other sets, and it might be outside the safe cutting area.

Thanks, went for the b&w as i felt it stood out more in the crowd. Sorry Nowt = no , did not do any cutfiles this time or layers just to keep things simple as its the first time i have put stuff up and not sure how rough a playground it is yet. Also trying to figure out away of going on amazon kindle with a "covert mobi to pdf" approach. Still feel such a noob at this looking at the sheer volumes and quality of the stuff folks on here have up. 8r

As long as there is an ok margin (.5" might be enough on left and right, but I prefer .625" on the sides and about 1" top and bottom...) then we as a group can help out with cutfiles. If there isn't enough margin then there are still some clever tricks we can play, but it makes everyone's life harder...
I have some png files I can share with you for a sample layout of reg marks that work for both A4 and letter sized pages, if it would help.

That would be really appreciated, had many incidents of minis getting half cut and cutlines merging with others etc. I always end up trying to cram to much on the page =). 8r

Too many on a page? I think that is a scots thing, we all know paper doesn't grow on trees.

That's how it has always been. I personally don't like all the open space on many models I download and build, and usually find a way to put 'detail' parts in the gaps. But I don't have a cutter. Cutters need a little extra space to operate

Magic, the cutting area file is very helpful. All of the main sets go over the area, the human set i think would squash in but the rest no chance. Demo set as mproteau says would fit. Never considered print on letter size, so used to a4. Also something i wanted to ask, how do you add a studio file as rpgnow is a pdf upload ?. And are cutfiles worth adding, i mean do many folks have cutters ?. " I think that is a scots thing, we all know paper doesn't grow on trees. " lol for sure. Soooo much to learn, one thing for sure I learned is free is very popular =). So thinking of a way to build the next batch around a much larger core free set.

Zip up your PDF with your .studio3 files and let people download that. I don't know whether it's worth it to you or not to make the cutfiles yourself. Making the files cutfile-friendly (and both letter- and A4-size paper friendly) I think is really worth the effort. You can always go back and update your product with cutfiles if it's not something you want to do right now, or you can probably find someone skilled enough with making cutfiles to help you out. I can't speak for him, but I'd be willing to bet that mproteau (Paper Realms) would whip up some cutfiles for your sets, if you formatted your products to make it a little easier, and dropped him a PM asking for help.

Thanks for the offer,like learning to do stuff like this, got the basics down i think. Its just the cramming stuff in and adding a 2mm offset, more like a jigsaw puzzle =). Link to a stripped down version of the demo set with two different cuts, would appreciate if you had a look. drive.google.com/file/d/0B0ILcboyDVtFbjFMMHQ0bmxwcjQ/view?usp=sharing

8rad - I saw your sets inter alia on WargameValout and I wonder how your stand/base are made. This is a new idea in your performance? Or maybe I'm in the wrong.

I was not going to put bases but at the last minute the idea came to me. A glueless stand, works fine with glue of course. Its quite simple really , three folds in the center of a rectangle of paper to create a flap. Then 2 cuts divide the flap into 3 flaps. Once placed in the stand of the mini holds it all together using the friction of card on card. 8r
