The door wings? Yes. My standard way is that they are scored and can be opened (and then locked again with a bar). The other approach would be different separate door elements (open and closed) that you can insert as needed (for gaming).

It's your sketches of rather "heavy" elementals and next to it ad's about weight loss :-)

So instead of the very simple door in the wall as the small gate, I thought of doing something like this instead. How do you like it?

That's great to hear. It seems like this could be a solution for me then too And I am glad to hear I am not the only one with the "muscle memory" problems. Now I just need to make some daily time available for me and keep to practice!!!

Hi Mel, it's so good to hear from you again. I am very interested in this MP22 thing. If money was no issue I would want to get the Cintiq but for now I have to work with a restricted budget.
Whenever I try to digitally paint with my regular tablet I seem to have a problem of not being able to reproduce the movement like when I draw with pen(cil) and paper. I am hoping that with a pen display it will be better as I don't have to look at the screen while my hand is drawing some place else. Did you experience this kind of improved working with the pen display?

First thing I thought was Venus of Willendorf! I think I have to design a buildings line for your minis. I really love them! Also I had a good laugh when I clicked your image open. Look at the ad's the site selected for the heavy figures... Not sure if it has anything to do with your figures, but still funny

Thanks to the reality check of my problems! Sometimes an idea grows in your head and it takes an outside force to squash the bug! Today I have been working on how to connect the wall modules. I have decided to use good old paper clip method. I used that 10 years ago, it is easy to create and the raw ingredient should be available to everyone. The connection is really tight. I glue the side walls a little "inside" the long wall side so that when the clip is inserted it has space to "pull" the two modules together. The connection taken apart. There is a little slot cut into the sides and the base. Detail of the opened up part.

That's good to know sometimes I need the outside perspective! And another prototype .... the big gate (6x4")

First prototype of the 4x2" gate and walls ... and a problem The gate looks fine ... Front view Here I see the mini looks great with the gate but the walls seem too small (because of the base) Problem ... The walls are now 4cm and the height to the roof is 5cm (it looks less on the pic but that's due to perspective). I could raise the wall to 4,5cm. But depending on the pose of the mini (here the raised sword) it still might look too low. If I raise it to 5cm then the wall roof would touch the buildings roof which I don't really like. A solution would be to create a base for the tower and keep buildings that is 5mm. BTW the height of the door opening in the gate house is 5cm and the door wings are 4cm. Am I overthinking this? Is there no problem? Any thoughts or preferences?

okumarts : I have optimized the download for special power users like you, who should not need them, to suppress the instructions But on a serious note, I have tested it and for me it seems to work but in any case I have uploaded the instructions to my site. www.papierschnitzel.com/downloads/Instructions_Bridges_and_Lanterns.pdfAnd if anyone has any other problems please let me know and I will look into it.

Hi y'all, wanted to let you know I have created the new set on OBS. Drivethru link with discount( Vermin King I did not forget it this time and I so hope there are no errors this time ) I have not done this before, but I have included a little discount in the link that is valid for the weekend. Please consider it both a small thank you to the community here ... and a test in case it does not work

I know the problem I have ideas in my head - and a couple of prototypes even - for the next 10 years. Or more, depending on my work speed. Some say, sleeping is overrated But seriously, your work is so beautiful is has to attract attention. So learn to sleep with the kids screaming for more

And he has claws like a Jurassic Park Velociraptor ... I have the scars that prove it!
But back to Kitsune Yokai. I think the fox could make for cool Samurai characters?

I was wondering what animals could represent Samurai and Ninja ... and then tempt you to make some minis Figured the Ninja would have to be rats. But not sure which creature would represent the Samurai best. Cats maybe? Samurai cats, you say? Samurai Pizza Cats?!? LOL I had a more regal and dangerous looking cat in mind ... like ours sometimes

I changed the length of the marks from 20mm to 10mm and ... it works So thanks for the inspiration mproteau (Paper Realms) ! Working on the walls layout today ... not sure if I am imagining things, but it feels like the build time is much faster. Or I just know the model that well

I don't really know why I made the registration marks that size. I guess that was the default. But as I never had any problems with them I did not see a reason to change it.
I think longer marks could help with better alignment than short ones.
I have to observe when designing new models how much space I could "save" when making the mark shorter...

Thank you ignatious Quick jump back to the tower: I was asked about a 15mm version and started compiling an optimized layout for the roof top. I was surprised how well it could be built! I used the auto-cutter and a chopstick for fine tuning the placement of the small parts ... and it worked. Even the details Didn't think I would, but I like it very much built at that scale.

I am guessing, so that when you cut the front you don't have problems with alignment on the back.

Smallest and largest version ... I think I want to add some optional part to make the "legs" of the long bridge sturdier. They are just 2D now and though they seem to work with thicker cardboard an optional 3D addition would be even better!

Besides the planks I have also added the lattice texture for the filled/easy version of the bridge sides ...

Japanese Venice or something

... and the easy version with filled side panels. This is the straight panels version. There is also a wood lattice version. And I have added green to the color variations possible. So much faster to build and edge
