Cardstock Figures

i cant find anywhere suitable to post this, so ill put it here :)

Because of the need for a multitude of figures, and the price they fetch when I paint them on ebay :) I found myself "flirting" with the possibility of cardstock figures (cardboard figures). After finding the ones they expect you to pay for to be pretty average at best, I applied my own limited skills to make my own, I am not an artist, but google image search is pretty good, I started using graphics already available to create my own. Here are some of them (a lot really), but this is not even half of what I have created!

any YES i agree that card cant replace metal, and yes metal is better, but sometimes you find you just dont have the required figures.

does anyone else here use cardstock? if so i am interested to see theirs :) my players are happy with these, they are infinately renewable, we can print more and more :)

thanx :)

cool idea but quick question what is wrong with plastic. You buy goblins for like 40 cents each.

show me plastic 1880s adventurers, plastic cowboys, etc. at 40c each, all available to buy locally if we decide "we need these tonight" :)

They are pretty cool!

Good point. :)

we used to substitute figures "the goblins are 1880s miners" the minotour is... etc. etc. this is easier too :)

Wow these are pretty cool, I printed out a few and like them.

pleased u like them, shedloads more there now, im adding a few weekly too :)

I collect the flats, but am more into Terrain.
Check the Crafter's threads for my link collections.
Pazz, I seen your stuff off EMule!
Like the less cartoon-y stuff, but I spect it would work for BESM.

These work good when I dm for my younger cousins.

yeah i used to use the nick "pazza" to do these, but after 10 years with the nick, i changed it :)

even more added, about 75% of stuff in the directory now, ive done some new doctor who ones too, using pics of the action figures, they look pretty good :)

does anyone else waste their time making these or am i alone in the world lol :)

lol, there are some of us who appreciate you doing this.

If I only had time to even consider doing these.

and theres still a few more to come, then maybe new ones too :)
