Okay I think I have the time to cut them today. This is going to be difficult for me as I'm using 130 gsm matt photopaper. I rarely make my paper models with anything under 200 gsm because I prefer the strength. However I just can not find a photo quality card that thick so all the images just come out dull and really really dark. So for this build I'm sacrificing extra strength to beauty.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the Squadron Nose and Tail Art, as well as your remodel of the Percheron with the extra equipment options. Not to mention the Apsara and all the other Hangar Bay goodies.
Now to find my key to my Craft Robo so I can change the blade setting.
**Update**
This 130 gsm is great for floor tiles that are going to be backed but its not that great for models. I don't know how you guys use this stuff!
Damn damn damn. The cutfiles just are not working. They are off every time. Well I'm pretty irate, I ripped up the batch and I'm going to take a day or two off. No idea why it's not working. I've never had a problem before.

Okay I have got it printed, it's half term so the kids are all home and my time is divided. I hope to have pictures of the model soon!

That's it, I'm just going to have to build myself a Super Crotale IIId with underwing stores. That just hurt!

I'm still using my Craft Robo CC200-20. It got better with the new Silhouette Ratchet Blade instead of the old red, yellow, blue caps.
My question for you guys (just so I can stay on topic) is how is this Silhouette Portrait better than the Silhouette Cameo. The Portrait seems to have a smaller cutting area.

Starship Troopers. I know I have told you this at least a hundred times but I love your bug sets.

I doubt it. UCMViewer 2 and 3 were written a long time ago in a language that was already obsolete at the time, and UCM never really caught on to boot. I don't even have the source code for them anymore, and I can't really provide effective technical support for something that I can't fix or improve. I for one was a big fan of UCM and bought many of the UCM models. I've always found it a big shame that it didn't catch on. It would have been really great for paper miniatures as well.

I'm just excited to see some activity. Between WWG and Genet being so dead this last year I'd started to get out of paper modeling.

I'm looking forward to more of your work as well! I hope you will make more bugs! I love your bug models! More 16 hour war is also something that I absolutely love, some more Trilateral ships to go against my growing collection of Crotale ships! As you know I've been a huge fan since the early 2005!

Also I used to coat the edges of my old Games Workshop card terrain with PVA (white) glue. It strengthens the edges and causes less problems with future use. Just remember to wipe clean (and Dry) the printed sides after treating.

I tried one of those on my CraftRobo and it didn't work at all. The new Silhouette blade holder works great with my old CraftRobo.

It can be cut with a utility knife. Like paper it has an orientation of easy cutting and difficult cutting. Something to do with the fabric of the plastic.

You might also want to look into PVC board. That is what I use for my Terrainlinx. It's made out of PVC Plastic. Very strong and it doesn't warp from glue unless you lather it on like a 5 year old in kindergarten (minus what you eat of course). You can purchase it in 5mm thick sheets.

They could have used horse bows. They would have been small enough. However the range would not have been that long.

Nope. The top DR is Natural DR and the bottom is from any armour placed on the NPC/Monster. However you are right. I did forget to put block on the card

This is why I made these, and plan on making the new Armageddon terrain with card stock as well, oh and I'm half way through making a sci-fi trench system. cardboard-warriors.proboards.com/thread/2914/40k-bastionOh and they increased the Price of The Siege of the Angel's Redoubt. When they first came up it was only £981.00

Yes, I already mined your blog for all GURPS goodness. I may redo my GURPS Equipment sheets now, your design is much more appealing. Only, there appears to be a white line in some of the backgrounds of the character cards. Just below the Dodge, Parry, RD wording. Ugh, I know. It must be something with Illustrator. I even redrew the background from scratch in illustrator instead of the one from Photoshop and it STILL has it, I'm not sure what to do about it. I've only noticed it a tiny bit with the printed cards. I like your equipment cards and I really like the container cards. Also for those of you that are interested you can always do something like this with your RPG cards I've only been able to get up to 30 on the dials. It is a nice way to keep track of Hit Points, Fatigue Points, Mana, or what have you. I wonder if I could design a 2 part dial? Not sure how easy it would be to turn.

I have had Adobe CS2 for years (Can't afford to upgrade, only got CS2 because it was cheap for students at the time) and Adobe Live Cycle Designer 8.0 allows you to import images in the form fields. Although I have the paid version, have you seen this thread? GURPS Example 1GURPS Example 2GURPS Example 3I can't figure out the coding for MSE and many of the members there pretty much have the attitude of "We figured it out so should you" so I just gave up and I now stick with Form Based PDF's. I'm going to be making my GURPS Maneuver cards form based so people can make as many as they want so I will be adding forms and layers to them.

Very nice. You know you can place a Form into your PDF's and if you copy paste the text boxes they will replicate the same information so you could have it so your customers could place their own numbers onto the cargo containers or Company names. Just a suggestion.

Now can we get the "New" button back? I'm finding horrendous to navigate the forum now that it has a new look.

I just rescaled them in Illustrator, I guess I didn't bother to check what percentage I increased them.
