papercraft figurines

-
I like the ease of customisation and cheapness in making paper figurines for games but, for fairly obvious reason, I find that they are hard to see on large displays unless you're at just the right angle.

Because of that, I've started a bit of experimentation into making 3D paper figurines. below are a few examples made in the past 2 months, all of which about 40mm tall or about equivalent to the 1:43 / O scale.





Their construction, so far, tends to be the same: a carcasse of cardboard over which printed paper is applied.

  Version 2 of my papercraft sentry box with Action Force (3.75 inches) figure for scale. I added some textures to the walls inside and out. The notice board and various signs are separate items so that the sentry box could be easily customized to various lines or real-life countries. Although created with 3.75 action figures in mind, it could be easily scaled up or down for other purposes (i.e. larger action figures or wargaming miniatures) can be downloaded from: Action Papercraft (Facebook group) Paper Modelers
