Hello! Long time since my last post, been very busy... Anyway, here is a prototipe of some vikings I'm working on. 2.5D minis, relaxing pose, same figure with lighty changes, basically all the cloths are on different layers, in order to turn on/off them, and create many soldiers with just one figure. Shields can be glued in 2.5D style or front/back, whatever you may want. critics and sugestions are wellcome, just keep in mind it's a work in progress.

Great Stuff!!! How are the shields attached? (I know "glue" but . . . )

It's very easy. You may see that the left arm it's a bit away from the body (look to the archer on the first picture). You basically glue the shield to the hand and twist the arm (a little cut on the it's needed so the arm can twist) Those minis were printed in 28mm scale, I've not tried this on 15mm scale, but I may do so in the future. This is not needed, as I said before you can put the shield on the back of the arm or in front of the mini, and it looks pretty good either way, but I allways love the idea of converting 2D minis into 2.5D. Of course once you twist the arm you are going to damage the mini a bit, but it's paper so it's not a big deal.

Great idea! I like anything that gives a mini presence from the side or top. It is the only weakness of paper minis (IMO)and cutting and bending the arm doesn't add a great deal of work.

Hi monktaraz. These are really nice paper minis. Bravo! I hope you'll share the finished project. ( Not necessarily for free. Even as a commercial product on RPGNow, eg, is fine. Important is to share the result of a common passion, imho ) OT 1 - Are there colored pdf files for yours terminators and genestealers? 2 - Are your Spartans missing?

I like the clean lines and the way you have the shields worked in there.
