I was originally wary of posting progress of this project here, partly as I hate duplicate threads and I know many (if not all) of the likely interested parties are on 'both' sites. The other part is due to the future commercial nature of this project, and I know in the past (before my time) that was a problem here.
However, 'both' sites have since become a bit of a home to me, and so it seems unfair to post progress 'there' and not 'here' and to upload files 'there' that are not available to the members who are only 'here'. That said, I have completed the first stages of a figurine set that I call 'Paper Protagonist'. While largely it is intended as a commercial project, my first releases (and many more in the future) are based on proprietary works, and thus are available for free.
The concept is an interchangeable fully poseable and inexpensive gaming model that retains many of the detail and qualities of a plastic or metal figurine of that scale, while being repeatable and model-able in virtually any pose. I had originally conceived only of 1:50 scale (close to the 'standard' 35mm scale), but due to repeated requests will offering releases in both 1:35 and 1:50. I've uploaded the first two models (ARC Pilot and Alliance Pilot) now here, but I've included some progress shots for your perusal.
I do hope that you enjoy. I will warn in advance that the websites linked in the instructions and the layout files are not yet active, but I expect to have them up within the month. Please feel free to PM me or post here with comments or questions regarding assembly.
Enjoy!
Sean
