Fantasy Paper Miniature Models

Inevitables

2012-02-14T03:10:00.000-08:00

The inevitables are a group of constructs which enforce some aspects of universal laws, and I find their design pretty cool! So, I end up making almost all of them, 5 from D&D and 2 from Pathfinder. They are now available at the following links:

Long time no update!

Ok, this time I have another dragon to offer - the diabolical red dragon, perfect boss for many campaigns!

Also, there are two other figures, namely beastman and werewolf. These two figures were released in Onemonk's forum and they are now collected here for the sake of completeness.

Also, thanks for all of you who have left message here in my blog. For some strange technical reason, I still have not figured out the way to reply in my own blog. Anyway, thanks for your support, and here comes some of my response to questions raised:

1) Tutorial for making NPCs or other figures.

Well, it would be useful to have such tutorial. However, I am not good at writing and for the time being, I am afraid I cannot come up with anything very useful to help you. Anyway, I think if you want to make your own NPC, you can modify my models such as change colour, swap body parts and weapons. With more modification experience, you can start changing the face, weapon and armours by cropping from fantasy pictures, etc.

2) Building instruction

Again, this would be essential, but I am afraid I cannot produce something useful shortly. However, here are some advice for building small figures (this was extracted from my message on Onemonk's forum):

Due to the small scale you are going to work at, you would need tools to do the folding as our fingers are simply too large for such tasks. A pair of tweezer will help a lot! It will also help in gluing small parts together.
A cutting mat is the second tools that I would recommend. It will help to make precision cutting much easier. Scissors are good for curves, but for small parts, cutters with cutting mat will make cutting much more precise and easy.
Also, I found that for small figures (i.e. human size or smaller), building them in cardboards does not make them stronger, and they are much more difficult to work with. I would prefer thinner paper, or even ordinary paper.

I hope this would help.

2.5d characters and NPCs

2011-11-28T20:33:00.000-08:00

Well, I think I have created quite a lot of monsters! It is time for me to make a few characters and NPCs. All of the figures in this set are 2.5d and they require minimal glueing. You only need to glue the cloak for the wizard and thief. They are now available at:

http://www.4shared.com/document/TpycR9tm/2_5d_PC_and_NPC.html

Blue dragon

2011-11-13T18:34:00.000-08:00

This is a modification of an earlier attempt to make a white dragon. New textures and colour have been applied to make this blue dragon.

http://www.4shared.com/document/GnqcOvim/blue_dragon_for_share.html

Stay tuned, for more dragons are coming soon!

A few more strange monsters...

2011-11-03T03:47:00.000-07:00

This release contains two more golems (wood and ice) and one large piece (cyclop). Also, some rather strange creatures, such as the cherub from the Doom game, and the finger mage from Diablo 2, are included. Two DnD creatures, xorn and roper, also appear in this series and they should find good use in cavern encounters. Finally, a psychic elemental, a being of chaotic psychic energy, also makes it way to the prime plane.

They are available in three files:

Xorn, Roper, Doom Cherub: http://www.4shared.com/document/gO6zOg5C/xorn_roper_cherub.html

Cyclop: http://www.4shared.com/document/LopSJRTR/cyclop3.html

Psychic Elemental, Wood Golem, Ice Golem, Finger Mage: http://www.4shared.com/document/iU629vas/psychic_wood_ice_golem_finger_.html

These are the golems I have created so far. You may say that I am a golem lover.

Air, Fire, Water, Earth Elementals!

2011-10-06T22:07:00.000-07:00

With powerful elemental magic, creatures from the elemental realms are now summoned to aid you in the conquest of the fantasy world!
They are now available at: http://www.4shared.com/document/P5x0zphQ/elementals.html
Enjoy!

Notes

Thanks a lot for the comments!

For the bases, I have just uploaded a page with three different sizes:

http://www.4shared.com/document/SZu2Djbl/bases.html

Actually, it is from Scarecrow's Elder Thing paper model on Onemonk's forum. The model is available at:

http://cardboard-warriors.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=scarecrow&action=display&thread=1226

The Elder Thing is the first 3d paper model I have ever built and it is still gracing my bookshelf. To match with this very first model, I have used the base for my subsequent projects.

Building notes for Air Elemental

The air elemental is made of two parts, the upper stormy cone and the lower cylinderical body.

The upper cone is formed from two cones (the circular discs), one with texture inside and one with outside. Then the two cones are glued together to form the upper part. Finally, a few cuts (less than 1/3 of the cone's radius) are made along the white stormy lines to make the storm more life-like.

The lower part is basically a cylinder with the upper side bigger than the lower side. Then apply glue to the edge of the upper side and glue the upper cone to it. Finally, apply glue on the lower edge of the cylinder and mount the model to a base. Enjoy!

More 2.5d minis - werebat, tengu, zombie and more

2011-09-22T23:27:00.000-07:00

My further attempts at creating 2.5d minis. They include the following monsters:

Lizardman

Mummy

Werebat

Tengu

Zombie

Boneclaw

Kappa

Stringless Puppet

They are now available in two files:

http://www.4shared.com/document/EX0dSNCW/boneclaw__zombie__tengu__kappa.html

http://www.4shared.com/document/K-nP45vt/lizardman__puppet__werebat.html

Except the tengu which you need to glue the wings (which should not be an issue), and the lizardman that needs attaching the shield (again not difficult), all minis in this series do not need gluing of small parts.

Samurai, Death Knight and Mind Flayer

2011-07-19T03:26:00.000-07:00

Long time no update! My latest creation include a great eastern warrior that could be used as player or NPC and two models on the villian side. Hope all of your enjoy building them!

Plant monsters

2011-05-26T20:56:00.000-07:00

In the world of fantasy, plants are not just plants and trees are not just trees. For the unwary adventurers, a simple looking flower can be the last thing they see...

This set contains three different plant monsters ranging from grass to tree. Enjoy!

Golems and constructs

2011-05-24T23:19:00.000-07:00

"You see a statute standing silently before the door. It is a giant stone structure in the form of a strong man. On the chest is a large emerald giving out soft, eerie green light. The statute seems to be looking at your direction."

Golems and constructs are commonly found in fantasy worlds, serving as guards for powerful wizards who do not want to be disturbed. This release contains two golems, namely a stone golem and an iron one, and a hound made of iron.

Dungeon monsters

2011-05-22T22:58:00.000-07:00

“You now enter a 20” x 5” passage. With the dim light of your lantern, you can barely see dark creatures flying at the end of the passage, slowly approaching you. You thought they were bats, but are they? They are just way too large to be normal bats! What will you do now?”

Dungeons are filled with all kinds of perils, and this set contains some of the more common ones. They work quite well with 28mm metal/plastic/paper models in any RPG/miniature fighting games. All of them are available free of charge.

Undead figures

2011-05-22T20:06:00.000-07:00

What is a dungeon without our undead friends? Well, may be it is not necessary to have undeads, but it would be so much fun to have some. This set contains a group of 9 undeads to chill the bones of the bravest adventurers!

Fantasy characters

2011-05-16T19:00:00.000-07:00

Fantasy characters created some time ago. All available freely at the following links:
From left to right:

Warrior: http://www.4shared.com/document/2tN2uYBF/warrior_1.html

Dwarf: http://www.4shared.com/document/GBQ3yF5T/dwarf2_sizes_1.html
Wizard: http://www.4shared.com/document/9ye-cgBy/wizard1.html

Archer: http://www.4shared.com/document/vLRnS_-Y/archer_resized.html

The grid on the floor is 1-inch by 1-inch.
My plan is to create a template of warrior and wizard and apply different textures to make different models. A generic instruction is also in the pipeline.
