I'm just having way too much fun with this! I've made is so the Fortress is modular and can be easily combined with the Bastion. The Octagon end bunkers can be added or remain separate from the structure. New section include transition wall for 45 degree angles, wider walkways for the Fortress.

First Test Build! Epson Inkjet SX200 used on 250 gsm cardstock I normally use a box for internal support but I decided I would try this type of design. It works very well and is quicker than a box build. I have a few more modifications before it is finished.

Adversary for Shaolin Monks would be if you want historical adversaries the Qing Dynasty as they set about the famous destruction of the Shaolin Temples. This scattered the monks and five fugitive monks Ng Mui, Jee Shin Shim Shee, Fung Doe Duk, Miu Hin and Bak Mei are credited for spreading Shaolin throughout China giving birth to all chinese martial arts in all its various forms.
You could also have bandits, Chinese ghosts and demons as well.
Martial Arts Heroes would be another cool set. I could supply a list of names and descriptions if you wanted of Chinese to Japanese heroes both fictitious and historical.

I watch Martial Arts movies all the time. If they don't get released in the western regions I order them straight from Hong Kong or Korea. There are plenty of different types of Martial Art Themes. I will write a quick run down of some of the more popular themes. Modern - Enter the Dragon, Ong Bak, Street Fighter Shaw Brothers - You will notice many movies where instead of wearing the traditional Queue (long braid and half shaved head) they have a huge mop of hair with thick sideburns. This is because the actors would not shave their heads as it made them unable to play modern roles until their hair grew back. 1920-1940's China - IP Man, Once upon a time in China, even Kung Fu Hustle, Fist of Fury ( Cheng Zhen). You get a mixture between western and traditional clothing. Japanese are the bad guys as they have invaded China. Ancient China - There are tons of movies and books dedicated to the different time periods of china, each will focus on 2-4 different styles of martial arts. Spring autumn period is a famous one, such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms or just Three Kingdoms. Lots of video games, classic novels, comics, T.V. and movies based off of this period. Wuxia - by far my favourite. This is the Marvel/DC of martial arts. Here you get some really colourful characters. They can walk on air, study poisons and by ingesting them inflict poisonous punches, LOTS of other things. Some good examples Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon, Hero, Warriors of Zu Mountain (love that one), Butterfly and Sword, Storm Riders and plenty more. so here I've hit on just some of the Chinese ones. Japan and Korea also have a great selection to choose from. Are you going to focus on a specific type or offer a bit of a mix? I can tell you that I would buy a lot of these if you kept making them, but I am a bit of a fan boy!

here is version one of the landing pad. I'm not a big fan of how it looks.

On the larger tower, how is the roof/floor on top supported? It seems to be four pieces in the second image. Interior support structures are being made. Right now it is a static build, but I'm playing around with a way for it to be able to break down for easier storage. The changes I've made include having single and double height walls. The main section is a box design with the extras glued to the outside to give it strength. The walls have a different geometry to the base I need to come up with a gate idea for the walls.

I've made some modifications to my Bastions so it will be slightly more towards looking like the GW version. My last one was too chunky on the bottom. The first two pictures are the first version and the last textured picture is version two skinned with textures from the video game Dawn of War II: Retribution. The new version will still follow the same modular template allowing for walls (which you can't do with the GW Bastion) and grand fortresses. The first three skins will be Imperial Guard, Space Wolves, and Chaos (Black Legion). Here is the white build from Version 1 so you can see that it is very sturdy. Next project is Bunkers, followed by Concrete trenches, Laser Fences, Pringles Industrial/Necromunda complex, and hopefully Capillary Towers. My Ultimate goal is to figure out how to put my paper models into UCM 2 or 5. Expect more pictures soon as I need to get these done for my summer campaign I'm running. I'm hoping to prove that a full paper terrain board can look just as amazing as traditional wargaming terrain.

This is why I never use the trace feature. All my gsd's are done by hand. There are times when doing a spline is appropriate, but when you do the auto trace you get hundreds of extra points, some stacked right on top of each other.
Some of the armor grid GSD's have so many nodes that it just crashes my Robomaster program.

Right now I'm using the paper flight stands from World Works Games PC Battleground I need some for smaller hover units. Should I just scale down what I got or design new ones. How would you guys design paper flight stands? I'm also considering making some for Ebbles Miniatures Camo Marines with the jump packs, but I want them to attach to the jets and look like smoke coming out. How do should I deal with the balancing issues?

I have both sets Hinterlands and Hinterlands Forest (TLX) and some of the trees are slightly different size between the two which is nice as it offers some variation in a forest. I need to get more tiles done, but I have a good start on a forest started.

*EDIT*
Ugh, I built it poorly, it is slightly bowed so the model does not sit flat.
