To respond to Eddnic's Sept 27 post re: the Barghast it is the first figure I ever coloured. I hadn't discovered GIMP yet and I'd started playing around with 2.5d paper figs. I wanted to see what one would look like coloured so I used watercolours and felt tip pen. Since I scanned him in I have done some work, (like flipping to make the front) but the watercolour and felt tip are still plain to see.
I want to modify the base to have it fold together like the ratman I just posted over at the "beastman and mutant" thread

Hey Afet, I'm no Eddnic, but I did a little rescale and recolour on a first draft of a barghast. I'd like to go back and improve it some more, but I thought I'd post it in case you need a werewolf before I finnish the upgrades. Hi, Cowboyland. Thanks for this! How can I can get a pdf? I can definitely put this to good use. I´d love to see the upgraded version as well.

Eddnic, the base upgrade didn't turn out so I didn't save the changes. I'm swamped with "real life" right now. GIMP doesn't export into pdf. I'd do it if you told me how. C. Doh! I meant to be talking to Afet! and I made a pdf of a wip of a ww (that's a werewolf )

Thanks for the figures! It is mind-blowing how you do this stuff! I downloaded the lizardman awhile back, and will make him soon! The only thing I didn't like is how you made the legs completely from the side view. I'll try to make isometric legs in my next figures and see how that turns out. RIP Dan Wheldon, a great young Indy Car driver who died this afternoon after a fiery crash an the 11th lap of the final race. I follow NASCAR and Indy Car a little, and I would love to show you some of my racing board games. He will be missed.

I've had some success with making small paper shims to go between the layers of the figure to bulk them up. I like the look of it anyway.

I didn't have as much luck curling them to make tubes, though I did try that.
What I did was in the bulkier parts of the legs, arms and torsos, I would cut scrap paper a little narrower than the parts and sandwich that between the front and back halves of those parts. Just to thicken them up a bit.

Just one thickness of card?

I usually would use slivers/shims of the carboard backing from tablets. Arms and legs I'd use one. Torsos would take more.

Next build I'll try that for sure!

I think I might revisit the tube idea next time. I'm not good at edge-edge gluing, so I will need to make some glue tabs, but that's no big deal.
