There are probably lots of people who can make these look good, but my fat banana fingers would not stand the test. Lots of glue, paper, blood, sweat and tears all over my cutting mat but no identifiable figure. They do look good though Maybe paper mache is an idea!

They look interesting, all right. Definitely be something to feed to the Silhouette/CraftRobo though. And it's probably an adventure gluing the tabs in place.

They look nice, but I don't have the tome or dexterity.

28mm..... wow. I am impressed anybody can assemble those in a fashion that they even represent a bipedal figure.
Kudos to the designer/builders.

I just got my order this morning. (The patrolling Ranger). Doesn't look too terribly difficult. Let you know after I build one. One thing I do recommend, do not use 110lb card~stock. At this scale a thinner stock <60lb would be more than adequately sturdy. There are 15 parts in total. 7 Represent the figure. -(1 volume makes the torso) -(2 volumes makes each arm) -(1 Volume per leg-feet) -(head is 1 volume, helmet 1 volume) 7 are packs, helmet, gear(rifle). -(the rifle is the only 2d piece) And one represents the Base. The bottom is not enclosed. I might recommend a thicker stock or at-least doubling up on the top face. ~F Ps. I can see how these could be simplified even more without loosing detail. Some of the shapes are enclosed volumes, where they don't necessarily need to be. The Helmet for example could be more of a hollowed shell. The arms could be made flat shapes without taking away from the overall depiction. <- sort of how Mel did some of his small armoured Marines.

good luck, where does this stop and start becoming origami, maybe a flat paper figure with added decoupage would be more effective as a mass production concept, Al

I dislike origami for this concept. Decoupage to a certain extent would work. I've done that with Terraforce Marine Backpacks(also adding a few aerials) and the guns. It worked well for that. (I'll dig out some comparative photos and post them here).

I can see a use for the enclosed volumes however- you could create different parts and customise the figures. Swap helmets around and so on.

Way too complicated for me.
I'm still struggling getting my regular paper minis assembled and based.

They look cool.. I had something similar for fantasy when the old paperworlds site was up but I realize that it was to much time and effort for mass armies but as a character model it would be good.
I did put two of them out and I was working on different casters but I never did release the rest.

I think your all insane for even trying to build these. Maybe I'm just jealous because I know I can't with my fat deathgrip fingers. I'm incredible heavy handed with models, so all these little parts are next to impossible for me, although the designs are quite cool. JIM

Well, this Sunday I finally got around to making one of these. I worked with two pairs of tweezers and special little glue applicator that I carved on the end of a popsicle stick. I was easier than I thought it would be: Cheers, Attachments:

nice work Afet! I really need to cut these out and make them... I wish he had made the dashed lines a softer hue so it wasn't so apparent (especially) in the face folds...

Very interesting, and definitely for those into the love of papercraft. For me, the time it would take would almost rival the time to paint a metal fig.
Kudos to Afet for the artistry!

I´ve also suggested that the helmet does not need to be a closed object, and that it might actually look better and be easier to build if it were open and fit over the head, like a real helmet.

... special little glue applicator that I carved on the end of a popsicle stick... I use an old 0 or 000 paint brush (or fine detail brush for those familiar with Citadel paints/brushes) for my glue application. As an aside my figs have none of the fold lines mentioned... Tirick
