    Thousand Sons

    Haha I suppose that'll do the trick. I just use my ruler.

    Thousand Sons

    Yes. I'm mostly following some templates from Jim Bowen and Dsin Zdan. I've taken the templates from Jim's intercessors and Dsin's rubric marines and have traced them out, then modified them by hand. I follow a process similar to welding if you think about it. I'll place a template down and hold...

    Super cool Tie model. Great work and what a wonderful Tie you've decided to create. You should make a Tie Reaper. They might be my favorite version. Totally logistical and built to support troops.

    Thousand Sons

    A project I'm working on is crafting my own Thousand Sons in Jim Bowen's style. Also a big thanks to Sdin Dzan at ChibiUniverse paper for inspiration. Check out his work on Facebook if you haven't and send him love and support. More will come with varying armor schemes.

    heavy flamer

    Looking over things, I see Jim Bowen's Terminator has a a good heavy flamer. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_k_YPZUAy-aI9I5T_ZX9EFquWZc9aQnK/view?usp=drivesdk

    Modeling for dummies

    I love using a compass. I thought myself how to make a perfect oval for oval shaped bases. I’m thinking of going back to that and recreating templates by hand. I can’t draw something as clean or perfectly colored as I could in a computer but there’s benefit of flexibility and freedom with a pen...

    Modeling for dummies

    I haven’t used any programs. Probably would like to make things like Jim Bowen’s Blockhead 40K minis. Pretty much just think of branching off of this template with my own ideas for models and weapons, possibly different posing. Can’t see myself getting too complicated yet but I’m just barely...

    Modeling for dummies

    I’ve seen this too. Love the Vitruvian man. Da Vinci was truly a genius. I’ve kinda drawn up some stuff to follow these rules but nothing incredible. I might give it a go again. My prints mostly come from my local library but their printers have been spitting out bad prints so I might consider...

    Modeling for dummies

    I have a been fascinated by researching model sizes and dimensions. For about six months to a year I’ve been interested in paper modeling 40K models and just finally getting into building minis. Going into this I have thought of human anatomy and how to draw proportionately. The rule I’ve...

    Modeling for dummies

    What are your thoughts on scaling properly? One worry I have is drawing something and having it come out too big or too small. I was talk with Jim Bowen and he said he uses CorelDraw, and mentioned Inkscape being free. My goal is to make this as cost saving as possible while still maintaining...

    Modeling for dummies

    Hi all. I wanted to post here to seek advice for designing models. What should I do to put my ideas on paper? Is there software I should use? Should I just draw something and cut it out to see if it works or can I go about this in a better way?

    Introduction

    Hello. Glad to be here. Wanted to introduce myself. My name is Clay and I am primarily interested in Warhammer 40K paper crafting so I can build models that are functional and congruent with the standard scales of the game. Although this is my primary goal, I am also partial to crafting anything...
