Awesome-azing as always!

Kudos for meshing two ideas using that pop up card style usually seen in greeting cards and bringing it to the Carstock terrain genre!
Looks like you need to use a thicker stock or design some supports...
Cheers & Keep up the good work!

I'm liking the concept. That extension gives some visual interest.
It would give the table a more realistic, less symmetrical, organic cluttered look with more stuff like this.

Good stuff. Will make a damn fine centerpiece to an RPG story. Or a nice objective to fight over in a more tactical simulation. Either way it will be the attention grabber on a table full of buildings and scenery.

Love the look of the new tiles. They remind me a lot of Advanced HeroQuest (which is imo a great thing). Nice looking monster flats too!

My thoughts:
Small kits 1-2 pages? ($3-$5) Medium Kits ($4-$8) Large $8-$15
some basic examples:
Cabin $3.00 w/Interior $5.00 Ruined Long House $4.00 Warehouse $4-$5 Widows House $7.00 Chapel $12 Any of the Gates/Inventors House $15
I might suggest 80lb Cover Stock(eg.Hammermill) as its more rigid, a brighter smoother substrate. It's perfect for buildings that have large flat areas like buildings as it is far likely less to warp. Costs are comparable to #110lb cardstock. Works fine in the silhouette.

Awesome...looking forward to this...
Another one that might be nice to have a Clapboard texture set for that Steampunk Western setting...

Lovely skinning on the Ebbles vehicle too! Shades of BladeRunner me thinks...
Hope this set really expands the Titan line. It has promise.

Excellent Eddinic!
You make some wonderful paper figures! Please keep up the excellent work. That White Dragon is definitely the culmination of a lot of practice and skill. It is surely one of they best/proper looking paper dragons I've seen!

Hey Dave,
Use the >Color Range under the Select Menu. Then use the Eye Dropper to select color range and you can then adjust the "fuzziness" level of the color selection. It's pretty good for color removal like that old filter did. I use it quite a bit daily at work.
If you are still getting a white edge on things you can also use the Matting>Defringe or >RemoveWhite under the layers palette.
Hope that helps.
There is also a way to do it using the Channels (it's fairly simple). Copy layer, make a new channel, paste it, invert it. Select. Go back to layer and delete. That will remove the whites.

I was like most in assuming a hexagon or other flat faced conical shape would be easier to build. But in actuality you increase the difficulty exponentially by having to make sure you cut/score all those extra edges close to perfect so that it assembles with some even/symmetry. I've found it twice as easy to mess up than a strait up circular shape. But cylinders are deceptively simple to assemble. And require less cut strokes. The only real aid for cylinders is knowing to curve the paper with either a pencil, Xacto knife handle or other dow. And first sliding it over the edge of a table corner to help promote the initial curve.
I totally agree on the size of this model. And the level of abstraction is right on par!

Mels (Ebbles) game GunCrawl is more or less an tactical escape game system. Since you are trying to complete objectives and escape to a specified area. He's got a lot of refinements, ideas and implementation that involves simple stat-ing of any figure/model /weapon/monster in your collection. A simple random map generator, scenario builder and coop game system. Of which is easily converted to a coop~competitive game system if you were to say be out to escape, but it's every man for himself. It's open enough to accommodate a Game Master (Warden in your case) .... so it's another something to look into... not trying to overwhelm you or anything... he also has a nice tile system (version 1 has more variety in map pieces, and is the sand box system).
The idea of using a card deck for a variety of mechanics is one I heartily advocate.

Not exactly like that. sounds cool. There are a couple of games in existence that share the theme and some ideas (ironically all share the same WW2 theme). There are three board games : Escape from Colditz (WW2 Prison Break) Escape from Colditz Caslte (Another WW2 Prison Break but other than the name and idea are not related to eachother). This one requires you to collect items and avoid patrol zones in an abstraction of a Nazi held Castle Prison. The other one which has a timer, escape, search & locate feel to it is the newer Hour of Glory by WarmAcre. Which is an excellent example of a lot of things done right. Raising the alarm, stealth, etc. I recommend picking up the print an play version if just for some fine game implementations. Look forward to seeing what you come up with. ~F ps. Oh and there is the "Futuristic" themed Star Wars:Escape the Deathstar which looks like a variant of Sorry with a fee additional wrinkles.

Yes thanks Dave you do high quality textures and nice easy build models. It's a nice mix.
I know every one of you designers is feeling a bit of the pinch from the Recession and well the general idea that you can really only sell an individual model once to a person. So I appreciate you trying to get a larger demographic. Just beware the price drops! Keep it (imo) in the $2-$5 range for a majority of your models. And a little more for the bigger individual models. So you have some breathing room.
But you know best. And I'm just preaching to the choir anyway...! LOL
Keep up the great work.

A well and truly excellent paper miniature. You are getting very good at these. The pose is superb. I'd like to see a little more separation to emphasize the head though.
Great work man!

Apparently it works under water too. Make sure the glue you use is also Waterproof. cyanoacrylate...or some such. ~F

I bought a book full of paper craft boats that are intended for use in water. I'll double-check tonight to see if there is any info on what type of paper it is. Though I have a feeling it's just coated.
In the mean time I see no reason why a double-triple coated acrylic varnish covered sheet of cardstock would be water-resistant at least for a few sails. Longer if not completely submerged.

The level of detail you are achieving now is really impressive. You could assemble some dioramas and put your work in some galleries. Seriously good work.

Outstanding work Eddinic!
All of the work you've shown and released has had me rethink what can be convincingly done with paper figures at the hobby scale.
If you were to put together some (more) nice photos and package these up you could be making a little profit from your labor...
Better yet, if you could get some of these pre-cut...
~Fl0yd
ps. I am in the middle of a big (90cm) build of a Getter Robo One paper model. But when I am finished I am going to build a dungeon scene with your figures and I'll post some photos...
