You're from France you say? Well then... Bienvenue sur le forum et le garder frais.

Zathros that made my day, lol. Yep, guilty as charged. Lol I finally broke down and used some ultra heavy cardboard and carved and cut it into shape. So far it's holding up but I won't hold my breath.

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...

Welcome to the fold. I've been here off and on so I'm technically new and technically old. Good to see new talent come into the mix.

I hear that I'm playing Warmachine and Flames of War currently and some old friends are trying to get my back into Battletech. Now I wished I held on to my assault mechs. Meh... I wished I still had LIVE to play ME3 and I'm a huge fan of the series. I don't play online but I was playing Call...

Welcome to my world. Work, education and family (albiet not in that order) got in the way and it sucked up a lot of my build time. Family comes first indeed and all the best.

His spirit is walking on the moon now....retracing his steps on the surface. I wasn't even born yet during the moon landing but I think that generation of Americans was blessed with the most historic moments of mankind and there will never be another like Neil Armstrong. I will always look...

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...

At least yours didn't die as molten slag like mine did. wall1

Not to step on anyone's toes here but the "purists" have a lack of an imagination. :rolleyes:

More often than not I'll cut on the line but in some very intricate parts I'll cut a little outside the line so it gives me a buffer zone in case I frak it up. Cutting out parts to me is the most demanding part of any project as I'm sure it is for everyone else.

I believe I'll use the second method because it sounds as if it would be more consistent than the wood glue. Thanks!

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...

At the height of my modeling capabilites before the fire I sometimes used up to 8 different types of paper thickness for one model. My salvaged designs and concepts will remain classified for now but I can tell you that you'll get better results using a large variety of paper thicknesses...

Hm where to start... Enemy Mine The Last Starfighter Blade Runner Firefly (and Serenity) Battlestar Galactica (revisioned) Fifth Element The Day the Earth Stood Still (original) Battle Beyond the Stars Cowboys and Aliens (a recent collection) Star Wars Titan AE Ice Pirates Stargate Outlander

I would definitely play wargames with paper miniatures when resources are scarce.

No. I do not.

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...

As the saying goes if life gives you lemon then you should make lemonade and if life gives you heartburn, put away the hot wings. Ok I made that last bit up but seriously I think in the end what doesn't grind us down only makes us stronger in the end through human perserverence and divine...

Friends and Family is the reason I'm not some head case going off the deep end not sleeping in my car. Also my faith helped coping with having all that work destroyed because I was about to go a little nuts. On a much brighter note I have managed to pick up some odds and ends and some handme...
