Hmm, I have three files that came through Paperworlds in late 2006 that match those links, I believe they are Shaungamer88 mods of Gwindel's work, fronts only. (click picture to download)

Kane those Zilla Terrarium Liners are neat. I had not even thought of something like that. Are they soft and spongy? Or are they more like those green scouring pads for cleaning metal pots and such? As an aside, would anyone like to buy Medieval Set 1/2 way down this page? ~F I like the sea monster. ;D

Werrewolves and shapeshifters from Paperworlds....? I probably have them on my hard-drive somewhere, I'll see if I can find them and repost them if I do.

Nice work on the cavalry, some of my all-time favorite miniatures ever there. Yeah, a different blade might help your wrist. Those short beefy blades like you have in the picture is what I use for chopping out foam-core and heavy matte stock, not figures. I agree about your assessment of the Elf Army too, just a few heroes and a war machine (chariot?) and they'd feel even more than complete.

It's spring, find a nice comfy seat on the back porch in the sunshine, bring along a drawing tablet and a pencil, then set your laptop on top of them while you surf the net. ;D

I like the corner covers, makes 'em look beefier.

Looks like a Titan missed and the giant sword's downstroke clove the building. Then he kicked it in the corner in frustration. Looks huge.

Niiice. Like the soft lighting on it too. Did you have any problems with the tower base?

I use mine to keep in touch with old classmates and to play Farmville. Actually, my daughter plays Farmville, my farm is just an extension of hers really. Too much work otherwise.

Hence my suggestion of a Crayola "Marker." I use the watercolor ones to color the Imperfect People original art so I agree with you. The pencils get used only occasionally for highlighting or doing weapon blades (gray pencil). Dryw the Harper Someday I'll learn to read more better and stuff. ;D

The most accurate ones are the ones made by Jabbro using his Inkscape trace method. Mine are a bit...looser...in their tracing. I just make sure to get my trace templates set up to be inside the black borders of the figures. I haven't had time of late to do anything fun, like print and cut a Fox army (stupid FCC regulations, grumble, grumble) but I'll let you know when I do and if I run into any GSD difficulties. We need a clapping hands icon for presentations like this, bravo sir! Bravo.

I personally don't like the wax from crayons, but watercolor markers can also give some very nice results.

That's the one I use, and it has been absolutely awesome! ;D ;D I highly recommend it. Scout around a bit though for the best price.

I picked up this and the Halfling house, like 'em a lot, but I don't feel the ground-tile footprint has the appropriate texture for these models. The footprint is your standard brick base, do you have plans for something more rural/agrarian with the next barn release?

Thank you squirmydad! Exactly what I need to know, I really appriciate it! I did come across something about the reg mark plaement - Mel seems to suggest there's a bug in Pepakura's US Letter size handling, I don't know if that's related. There's lots of good info about using the CR (and appearently th SD) here: melspapercraft.weebly.com/us-letter-paper.htmland here: www.ebblesminiatures.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=136Thanks again. Now I have to buy a Silouette... And an undead army... And a Elven army... Is there a bulk discount? ;D I've read all of the Ebbles thoughts and tutorials previously, it's funny that Tamasoft had no answers but refers people to knowledgeable end-users like Mel. Mel got tired of Pepakura's shortcomings and helped write this unfolding program; Ultimate Papercraft 3D which has built in RoboMaster support right from the start. I believe the bulk discount is that all sets are $1....

Report; Short answer is yes, it works. Check your configuration settings between the dialogs to make sure everything matches for the placement of the registration marks. the CraftRobo software looks at distance from the origin for the placement of the first mark and then looks at the distance between all the marks. The Pepakura viewer plugin places the marks based on distance from paper edges. The viewer does print multiple pages with the registration marks on each page. I used Cutepdf to make a pdf from the Pepakura plugin and that did give me a nice multi-page pdf with registration marks on each page. However, the viewer only handles portrait layouts, not landscape. That what you needed to know? Eric

I'm dl'ing the trial version now and I'll give it a whirl. Funny that they are charging $15usd fro the plugin when the Robomaster software itself is free.
What I've been doing with Pepakura is using the 'Export as DXF' option and then loading the dxf into Robomaster. I do my final layout of parts in Robomaster, then export a pdf of that layout so I can do my texturing in Photoshop.
I'll get back to you on the plugin.

I like those Fox Pikes. I know it's not on your list, but those leather jerkins make me think of the other word that goes with Pike...do you have any Fox musketeers planned? ;D

Squirmy those look pretty nice and should make for some interesting variety. Are you planning on doing one of each colour? Actually I'm planning on making all of the Terra Force sets in all of the additional colors.

Thanks. I believe this will be the final look of the Urban Camo Terra Force troops; I need to print a batch and make sure the lighting contrast on the gradients is good. I've got a good workflow in place now to get the TF color conversions rolling, I should be able to send the basic troops page to Jim tomorrow and then get the special weapons going.

I like it a lot. However... I think you can put the ties on the sode without the detail becoming cluttered. I think you need to pull the sword arm up a little, due to the flat perspective it looks like the sword is resting on the helmet. Nice dynamic pose and the shadowed eyes do work well for menacing.
