Well, I will probably glue an extra layer of card in between the legs and see if the legs will support without the sky between them. If I do these on 110 card, they might support on their own, but I don't want to risk it
Thank you, sir

But I was using the Boston Dynamics robots as my models, and their legs are pretty thin.

These are supposed to be printed actual size, not full page, right?

I went with actual size. Printed up and in my pile

Maybe I should have thrown it into InDesign and exported to pdf like I do with the big products.

That's okay, sir. When it is a gift to the community, you shouldn't have to gift wrap it and put a bow on it.
BTW, since there are three of them, I added 'nose art', though not on the nose. I thought Huey, Louie and Dewey were appropriate

Like Punkrabbitt, I like to flip things on their sides, so I also added bellies If anyone else wants 'legs only', the inner legs need to extend into the body to give them enough strength

Like Punkrabbitt, I like to flip things on their sides, so I also added bellies. I also store things on high shelves, so the underside is frequently visible o.0 It's funny, but that is the first thing I thought of when I looked at the kit. Great minds think alike.

They look great VK. And I love how "well loved" your cutting mat is.

I printed actual size, assuming the page was set as the printable area for both Letter and A4. I'll post a photo of mine with some figures, so you can decide if you want to scale them differently

You must have a different process than I do. I opened a new page in Gimp (2550 X 3300, 300 dpi), then opened this file and pasted into my new page. That yields mules that are 1.5 inches long.

I must be downloading the image wrong. When I paste into a 300dpi .xcf, the whole page is about 1.75" wide.

I use a 7.5x10 page size and work in 300dpi, so that when I create a product package in letter size, various paper sizes can still work. This was saved as the 7.5x10 size. So printing full page will make them a bit big. The model size is 1" wide, 1" tall, and 1.5" long.
