    1:270 Starfighters

    Alright. I'm not quite ready to call this a return from my sabbatical, but I was absolutely possessed with the idea for designing and these and so could not resist. After finally setting up my worktable again, after a long spring and summer without, I laid out my Fantasy Flight X-Wing game...

    TCF Gaming has a new site!

    While the site has not moved, the entire site has changed, most dramatically with the complete removal of the store, and the recreation of the CMS front end that was driving it. What does this mean to you? Every paper model I have ever released is now available, for free. This was not an...

    Modular Hex Game Elements 1:1000 Scale (WIP / Release)

    I'm moving this from the Hex Hill thread as this ongoing project is migrating from terrain to game set pieces in general. I'll keep a separate thread for actual game pieces (Mechs, Tanks, etc), and reserve this thread for all buildings and 'terrain' in this scale. For those of you new to...

    1:1000 Scale Battlemechs WIP / Release

    Inspired by the success of my test 1:1000 scale Catapult I wanted to make more, but there are very few good sources for multi-angle pictures of Battlemechs. I tried my hand at a few, and I even have some 'armour' in that scale I am quite happy with. However, I was not happy with the results of...

    Union-class Dropship (Battletech) 1:1000 scale

    I am a man of a 1,000,000 projects, so no guarantees on when this one will finish. However, I've taken a fancy to the idea of making a game-scale Battletech dropship. There is already a good paper model of the Overlord dropship available here. However, I'd like to try my hand at the smaller...

    Modular 3d Hex Terrain (Hills)

    I honestly cannot say how/why the pique to design strikes me, although this one was clearly influenced by my discovery of the rerelease of the FASA Battletech rules, and the pending Mechwarrior MMO. As the title states: Modular Hexagonal 3D hills. Obviously this is designed with Mechwarrior in...

    Valkyrie - New Model (WIP)

    I will be the first to admit that I have a terrible track record with project stalls, but apparently my muse wants me to design one of these (for the moment anyway). I looked over the kits available: Flarebaffled's is awesome, but without an interior or a UV map I don't want to build one...

    New Project: Starship: Corridors

    I have finished the design on a new project: Modular Starship Corridors. This is the first part of a larger set, which will eventually include basic rooms, level changes as well as context specific room sections such as a bridge, shuttle bay, etc. I also intend to design static elements for...

    WWII Pilots - Posable, Multiscale

    I'm breaking this design thread off of the main Paper Protagonist thread, as several members who may have not had an interest in prior projects in the Protagonist line of figures may in fact be interested in this new design. This also allows me to fork design comments and suggestions...

    Aratech 74-Z Speeder Bike and Scout Trooper

    I've had this project partially planned for several years now, predating most of my releases over the last year. I had a few fitful starts, and had shelved the model until very recently. While this thread will eventually contain progress data on the Scout Trooper pack, for now here are progress...

    17th Century Naval Cannon

    I've aluded to this project in other threads, but as it is very close to completion I think it a great time to show some teaser build shots. This (like most of my models) will be available in 1:50 and 1:35 scale, and will eventually be accompanied by an appropriate British Naval crew. The...

    Paper Protagonist - Female - WIP

    (I apologize in advance to anyone who is on the same various forums I am one, as this is a copy posting on all) I've had this figurine in the works for as long as the male protagonist; I in fact had a prior prototype (I won't show it here), designed and tested at the same time as PPM 1.0 (the...

    Posable Courser (Warhorse)

    I've been getting the bug to design this for a while, but until recently I was a little intimidated by the complexity. However, I (think) I have a solid design concept and will work on that while building test parts for the first Man At Arms expansion. Still very WIP obviously, but the...

    1:50 and 1:35 STAP Repulsorlift

    Like the B1 and OOM droids, this is a previous release not readily available anymore. I've rebranded this and released a 1:35 version, but otherwise this is identical to the release originally found at swminiatures.com (now defunct). If I were completely honest with myself, I really designed...

    B1 and OOM Droids 1:50 and 1:35

    I originally designed these in 2007, and initially made them available only in 1:50 with 1" bases. The were the first of my fully poseable paper figurines, building on what I learned with the Stormtrooper 'Paper Soldier' design. I've repatriated them into my IMS line of figures (R2 was the...

    1:1 Dingbot

    I've received permission to distribute my model of the Dingbot Prime character from the webcomic Girl Genius. Shown below are some highlights of the design/build process. The full thread can be found at PaperModelers...

    Model Of The Week: Imperial Guard Armour Builds

    Inspired by Silveroxide, I've decided to start a build record of the paper model's I'm building to support my (as of yet) burgeoning Imperial Guard army. I currently intend to focus my $ efforts on Infantry and use solely paper models for the Armoured elements, with the intent to match at least...

    Modular Terrain

    I'm not certain exactly where this belongs, as I could have easily been put into the Diorama area as well. I just finished the prototypes for a design I've struggled with for the few years or so. The original concept was a set of fully modular boards for use with wargaming, but there is...

    1:50 Star Wars Astromech

    Alternate title: "Why Tirick has not been working on the B-Wing" I started designing this little guy in October (has it really been that long?), initially as a part of a planned (and yet unrealized) mod of Paper-Replika's ARC fighter. Like many of my projects it got shelved once I'd built a...

    Paper Replika T-47 Snowspeeder (rescaled + pilots)

    What you see here is a rescaled (1:50) build up of Jules Perdana's T-47 Snowspeeder, (which can be found at http://paper-replika.com/) with pilot figures of my own design seated in the cockpit. It has been several months since I finished the base build of this beauty, and its been waiting...
