    No one cares about infantry

    I have grown tired of some of the latest trend in RTS games coming out more focused on tank (or vehicle) spamming than having a well balanced force of armored vehicles, infantry and army aviation aircraft. Is it just me or is this trend creeping into the miniature tabletop genre as well...

    Something crazy

    Since it isn't cheating or considered heresy by another thread I posted a while back to use materials other than cardstock I am toying with the idea of melting down aluminium foil to be smelted and poured into a cast. I do have access to a small ceramic oven of sorts to melt used aluminium...

    A late Thank You and Apology

    First off I thank you for the Happy B-Day but I also owe many of you an apology for my absence and falling short of meeting expectations (if there was any to be had). It's been near impossible to find free time anymore and this is the first time I've checked my email in six weeks. Alas my...

    Scaley Armor effect

    This is a rather weird question but I've been here long enough I doubt that is anything new coming from me. :mrgreen: Anyway... I like a time effecient method to make the effect of hexagonal "scales" on the armor of a vehicle I'm working on for a friend. Since I do not print out my models...

    Mechs versus Tanks

    I like to dig up an old argument in science fiction that is about the most contested debates on the internet since Russian armor fan boys versus Western armor fans. (For the record the Israeli Merkeva 4 is the best tank :mrgreen: ) The only difference this time I like to exclude anime mecha...

    Making a Canopy

    I've been working on a method of creating transparent canopies for aircraft by melting clear plastic bags on a mold and installing them on my model. I've built a 1:87th scale of a German Heinkel HE 111 WWII Bomber and I've been trying out methods of making the bullet shaped canopy around the...

    A Quarter Century

    25 years... 25 years is a long time and even more so it's an age that I didn't think I'd see. I'm thankful for the b-day email from Zealot forums, thank you all. To some of you 25 years isn't all that old but considering the ups and downs I'm wondering what the next 25 years will hold for...

    Scale-tastrophe

    In wargames in general what scale would you prefer to play with? I know most mainstream game are either in 15mm (Flames of War) 28mm (Warmachine/40k) and 25mm (Warhammer Fantasy)I've been looking at 20mm as a medium but isn't wholly popular these days in wargaming. 15mm maybe something I...

    Would it be cheating...

    If I were to use thin steel wires in a card model? As a purist (in the hobby sense) I find it difficult to do this one particular project without the convenience of nine thin steel wires for this model to spare me a few hours of frustration and hard work to use cardstock for consistency sake...

    Fears abated

    I was worried this site was dead until I logged on and wouldn't you know it's still alive and kicking? I've been pretty busy lately and since the economy is about to puke again and between taking care of family and making ends meet I'm at a interim where I got more time on my hands again to...

    Raging Rivets

    Well I at last reveal my Archilles Heel in the matters of making paper models. Since I'm delving into some Steampunk style stuff (no thanks to my Warmachine obsession of late) I've been at wits end trying to find a very practical and economical solution into putting rivets on my card models...

    Back to Square One with some ideas...

    It'll take some considerable time for me to get the wheels rolling again since a lot of my work has been destroyed. I have not given up on my most ambitious project as of yet and that is to make a really unique and awesome tabletop game completely compatible with paper/card minis. I believe I...

    Only Ashes

    I fell off the grid a month or two ago and I have to say I've gone through some serious ordeals in my absence. Apartment fires tend to happen often enough that it affects you eventually when you least expect it. So much lost and my most ambitious projects destroyed in a blaze that has set me...

    In hopes of posting my projects...

    ...it all goes down in flames. For some reason the digital camera I'm using is putting pictures in a format that this website that even imageshack won't recognize. And here's the strange thing, I have everything in JPEG but for some reason it won't open in a normal image viewer on my computer...

    I am making a Wargame

    I have played wargames since I was a kid and for the past 4 years I have been working on my own wargame, writing the rulebook and even making my own models...the usual routine. However I'm just curious if a wargame can get somewhere if there is enough attention drawn to it. See I build my own...

    Water Quenching

    That's right you read the thread title right; water quenching. Now some of you are scratching your heads and thinking "what in blue blazers is he babbling about?" Well I made a little wild discovery this week that dipping lightly glued parts into warm water for a moment or two then...

    Legal issue

    I know there are several threads related to this topic but this is a different question a little more direct. What would be an infringement if say I made models from a game series such as Halo and started to sell them on ebay, would that be an infringement? Here is the catch though I...

    Small Model Dilemma

    I lack the fancy computer tools that many of you have to build your models so I have to do 99% of my models purely by hand. That being said I have tried at card modeling 3D card model infantry, not 2D or that 2.5D, fully 3D for wargaming. Building vehicles is pretty easy but something...

    I wiped my feet, may I come in?

    I'm Experimental Designs or just call me ED. I have been modeling with paper since I was a small boy and it's been a hobby that I have continued off and on in my later years. Recently I have been trying to incorporate my talent into wargaming but this attempt has not been without its...
