talk about paper soldier figures

**valmy33** · #1 01-29-2011, 04:08 AM

Hello,

For this kind of model (only soldiers) I think that the better scales are between 1/25 and 1/48 or 1/50.
The result is more realistic. Higher 1/25 is possible but I don't like it cos paper has limits in order to represent human body.
Under 1/48 or 1/50, it's an other technic (possible but I'm not Doris

"Miss fingers fairy"lol).

Wait for your comments, ideas, advises, criticism

Good WE
Faithfully

PS : I think it's possible to approach the aspect of the classic toysoldiers. "Yes we can !"

Gaming is done in smaller scales, such as 1/72, using 2D paper soldiers.

Hello Zakopious,

I use both 1:50 and 1:35 for my figurines Valmy. 1:50 is very close to 35mm scale, common for fantasy wargaming (all Wizards of the Coast figures, as well as Reaper (despite their claim to 28mm) are).

1:72 is good too, especially for 2d. I'd not want to make 3d figurines at that scale due to compression of size-model.

Hello Tirick,

I've looked what you do and I find that your figures are very fine and precise. I'm agree with you with 1/72 : Paper has limits.
