    Gaming Life Counter...

    I was looking through Paizo today and I found this for Munchkin: http://paizo.com/store/byCompany/s/steveJacksonGames/byProductType/cardBoardGames/munchkin/munchkinAccessories/v5748btpy8k87 and thought that a slightly modified version with 4 wheels, to track two people's life would be...

    Ink Refill :(

    You can get a lot of mileage out of even a crappy inkjet printer with decent paper. I strongly suggest Cougar Opaque 90lb cover stock. Despite it's "weight" it's actually stronger and a much finer grain cardstock than the 110lb Georgia Pacific. Don't get me wrong, i use Georgia Pacific...

    Warhammer 40k JetBike / Ing. Spendlik/ scale around 1:16

    I take it you're not doing this in papekura? if so, will you be releasing a PDO file as well? VERY excited about this model! Please keep at it for us!

    Strong papercraft

    I'm going to have to give that stuff a shot! I've done glassing work in the past for car door panels etc. Didn't realize it would saturate paper like that!

    Strong papercraft

    I've been looking for a way to do this for ages. The first thing I can say is that if you're not modeling on Cougar Opaque, 80lb Coverstock; do it now. It's somewhat pricey, but it's far stronger than any 110lb cardstock I've found and the printable finish is immaculate. The other idea that I...

    Ink Refill :(

    My vote is for laser printing to be honest. I'm a very high output user, as far as this hobby goes, sometimes putting through 500 sheets in a week of cardstock. Last year I went through THREE inkjet printers, the last one an Officejet 6500 with a continuous ink system. After that one went, I had...

    Chaging PDF scale of downloaded models please

    I normally just take a measurement of the real model, say if I'm making a paper Leman Russ, open up the PDF in photoshop (you can open up pdf's directly btw) and then select the whole image and move up or down till the size of the one peice I measured matches; the rest matches automatically of...

    1:1 Gundam model?

    A friend of mine is swearing to me that he's seen a company release an almost 1:1 Gundam model somewhere, but my google-fu is either weak, or he was mistaken. Anyone ever hear or find anything about a giant plastic robot kit?

    Designing card models

    Yeah, the hobby definitely needs more designers! Stick with it, don't get frustrated, and invest in a Silhouette SD to make your build prototyping infinitely faster!

    warhammer Land Rider

    Thanks armorman for posting that! A silhouette sd is the current and best version. It's basically a machine that cuts the cardstock for you. Comes with some software, and with a few nifty tricks, I've posted a brief how-to on the site in another thread (I forget where...) you can mass produce...

    warhammer Land Rider

    Wlock Well, I have a craft-robo and have been converting every warhammer item I can get my hands on, if it's a solid model. I was un-aware that there was a papekura tie in with the craft-robo. How does it work Wlock? Any chance I can trade robo-files for yours? ;-D I was actually considering...

    warhammer Land Rider

    You need measurements then Wlock? Accross the top, without the weapon sponsons, it's almost exactly 10cm wide. Front to back, it's almost exactly 17cm long, and that includes track protrusion. It's 6.5cm tall as it sets on a table. The weapon sponsons housing stick out 1.5cm from the side of the...

    My 3foot Galactica attempt

    I just wanted to add that there is actually a tougher, and much better stock to print on for inkjet printers anyway called couger opaque index stock, item 7703. It's actually thinner per sheet than the 220gsm papers say from georgia pacific, prints infinitely better for inkjet printers, and is...
