I would like invite on my new siate. New scale (40mm)! New look of figurines! New ideas!

They look good, but 40 mm doesn't fit with anything I already have. Printing at two pages per page would still set these up as being a bit large for 30 mm. Does the 40mm scale seem to be an up-coming popular scale?

I know that this scale is not most popular. Not only I want spread 40 mm but in this way figures are more visible for me. I learn so forgive me. I would like apologise all who like 30 mm but this size is for me too small. I must request you about reducing this yourself. Maybe in the future I change to on 30 mm but not this time. Sorry.
In the plans, I have many projects (new and refreshed) suited to this scale. It will be plenty to choose from.

These look terrific, pavaro! Thank you for sharing them. The 40mm scale is no trouble to print them at 75-80% to get them to the size I want, as I may rearrange them on the page anyway. Having them already set up head-to-head does make it easier to set them up for basing in @reivaj's flatter style which I use. I love that you included a mother-and-child figure, they are extremely rare, but are great to have as NPCs. The only other paper mini like that I know of is by Dryw the Harper - and that's because he's covered just about everything! I also really like the animals you've included in the "hunter & prey" set. The only thing I might note, is that while "cereals" is technically correct, we more often use the term "grains" to refer to the growing plants and the harvested seeds, and save "cereals" for what we eat at breakfast in a bowl with some milk  |

pavaro: I like the animals especially with the hunter set; the alert hound with the raised paw is particularly wonderful! It'd be great to have some additional poses for some of these creatures - standing with heads up on-alert, and running, say - and maybe some more hunters, like a dog handler with a horn, someone with a boar-spear, maybe even some (flying?) birds for the archer to have a shot at? Or perhaps a falconer. And in your spare time from that... The only thing I might note, is that while "cereals" is technically correct, we more often use the term "grains" to refer to the growing plants and the harvested seeds, and save "cereals" for what we eat at breakfast in a bowl with some milk This is a cultural thing though, I suspect. In Britain, we wouldn't use "grains" in this way, just "grain" for the seeds (before sowing and after harvest, or when feeding to animals - hens, say). Growing in the fields, they'd be called "cereal crops" collectively, or the specific type, such as wheat, barley or oats, would be named.

I hope that new name will be reflect set. Forgive me for my foreign language. This is old set. I wanted refresh my first projects. I'm having new approach to the sketches which are drawn without major restrictions. Earlier I used different criteria and this it was bad. In my workshop is waiting on implementation many different projects. Soon greater portion of the news. pavaro: I like the animals especially with the hunter set; the alert hound with the raised paw is particularly wonderful!

You have good ideas. I must consider execution subset. |

The dry stone walls are interesting pavaro, but the textures are perhaps a little flat. It maybe worth using more shading in places, even to filling-in some of the smaller spaces, to give a better impression of depth. Also, it would be good to have some different kinds, not just with different stone colours, but showing the different styles of wall-building. Many dry stone walls have capstones set up in a different way, for example, plus some have pillar-stones set up at gateways, or steps jutting out from the walls. The Wikipedia Dry Stone page has a few helpful photos of such field walls, mostly from Britain, for example, and there are a couple of drawings and some information on the English dry stone walls here, but perhaps the most useful basic item from the British Isles is this PDF leaflet on the Scottish dry stone walls. Plus of course, there are many examples to choose from other countries as well; coming from the UK, I know the British ones better, naturally! It could be worthwhile experimenting with some 3D models too, as the natural vertical tapering to many of the walls would give them equal stability as free standing miniatures, without the need for an attached base. |

You have a right again. The fact that I had not thought about the depth of tone. The effect would have been better. This set is very old hence such and not another look. But I must consider and this hint. Thanks for links and materials.

FANTASTIC!!! I might be interested in trying something a bit inspired by FDG tiles:
1) cut 1" foamcore holes in a 6" swamp tile. Anywhere on the tile would work, I suppose, but following the typical four spots that FDG uses seems like a smart move.
2) Use same technique as FDG to create cardstock covers for the hole.
3) Using a cardstock cover like in #2, cut a slit in it at some angle.
Now, if the plants are designed like standees with a small tab at the bottom, it can slip into the cardstock cover to stay in place, and you have removable bits of scenery that you can move around or remove and store flat.
If the cardstock isn't sturdy enough to hold the plant in place, attach the cover to the 1" foamcore that was removed and cut the slit right into the foamcore. That should be plenty sturdy.

I may do just this for trees and such. I should be able to take a WWG tree from the Hinterlands set (for example) and make it slot into a 1" square on the tile. Seems much easier for storage for me than all these trees I have on my shelf...

Actually watched a movie the other night which had a skirmish scene set in a marsh - Wolfhound, a Russian version of Conan, which also draws on Russian, Slavic, and Nordic folklore. It was really good! You can find it on blue ray sometimes, but it'd be nice if they stuck it on netflix...

Thanks for response! Maybe I will try to share this set but I must do additional elements. I thought about grass in in various sizes. FANTASTIC!!!

This reminds me of a Kickstarter I just saw, for resin terrain. There are base plates with 4-5 depressions in them, designed to hold scenery elements like rocks, crystals, trees, gravestones, etc. |

The marshes - What you think about my new idea? Can be useful for cardboard world? These are brilliant! I love the reeds and dead tree set in the marsh itself. The variant reed groups, large down to single clumps, would set up really well as reed-beds along the edge of rivers and streams too, with open water "pathway" mazes to the bank, for example. Different heights or sizes for the reeds would add to the effect. If you were thinking of adding a fantasy touch, maybe some glowing marsh-lights, like will o'the wisps, ignis fatuus, could be prepared, as if hovering above one of the smaller clumps of reeds? Although these would work as simple "flat" terrain items, I'd be inclined to use them set slightly below the surface of some open grass tiles (basically, cut out a hole to fit in the grass tile, and glue the marsh piece underneath, then mount onto card or foamboard as usual). That could be taken as a hint that it might be good to have some grass tiles in a similar style, of course |

But at the beginning I wanted to do "the marsh of fantasy" with different effects. Your ideas are helpful and can give magic look. |

I was converted to on new scale and new base! Welcome my brothers and sisters. The base and scale are used on the forum for a long time. For me it is the newness. I did more the new figurines, what you think about it? LINK |

pavaro: Well, it was perhaps inevitable you would feel the need to succumb to the 30-millimetre-ness of so many other paper minis and models But the advantage with larger minis is they will often scale down very well and quite easily, so maybe it will not be so hard to "shrink" your earlier models? It seems there's a lot of new items to appear as downloads from you, which is excellent. I especially liked the vignette of the horse towing the log. Be good to have some heavier draught horses, and maybe some draught oxen, later too. And for the other images, the deer among the trees look really good for something photographed on a table-top!

Probably not I have anything what would worthy to compete. :/ I really like that you have figures that fill in a space that is often overlooked. You have a wonderful depiction of family life that would add depth to role playing environments. The photos you have involving your bits of scenery (like farmers in the fields, or animals in the woods) are really wonderful. Without understanding a word of what's on your website I have really enjoyed browsing what's there. |
