Here is another sheet of PC's. I'm now putting each sheet in its own thread in the hopes that people who want to find them can.
There are some notes in the Flickr description

Rather than muck about with the text tool in Gimp, I will try and offer some instructions here. Working from the top down:
Separate dwarf from rest of sheet, fold, glue and set aside.
Cut out big brown "tank." Best to cut small "X's" in the wholes where the jet nozzles go.
Fold "fringe" of "triangles" to 90 degrees and roll tube around them.
Put glue on the "triangles" and on the bit of the tank that overlaps re-roll and clamp.
Roll and glue brassy jet nozzles and glue then inside holes in tank with shinny bit out.
If figure is dry cut him out from the front. Remember to cut down the sides of his neck.
Fold halfway down the neck so the head comes forward and then fold the head back up a few mm above the first fold. This gives the fig a chin.
Curl sides of the head back, tuck down the little flaps that stick out at 45 degrees and then curl the top of the head over everything. You can glue this all in place if you like.
Curl shoulder back and fold down the arms.
Curl the gun and glue the "free" grip to his hand.
Curl the body vertically to make him round.
Crease the legs slightly vertically
Fold the feet up and stick him to the base with sticky tack.
That was probably the most complicated fig.
The other figs just fold, glue and cut out. They all should get chin folds and round bellies. The legs and the feet fold out the same way.
For most the arms fold back.
For the old guy in the breast plate, fold down the white area at the top of his hat so that the "feather" across the top is white on both sides.
His right forearm should be curled so that his sword points behind him.
For the guy with the coat tails: Cut out around the figure and fold and glue the coat tail and legs first.
Trim around the coat-tail and legs. Then fold and glue the back to the front.
Cut out the rest of the fig.
Fold along the horizontal gold line to make the back of the hat and head.
Shape the rest of the fig as described above.
