Very nice layout, BTW. I am curious about your paper miniatures myself to be frank, given my own designs.

I find that The bottles for Tole, and general painting of woodcrafts, are very paper useful friendly. I had a hobby buddy in the days of Warhammer, that used to go to Lowes or Home Depot, with a sheet of paper, painted with the Citadel or humbrol colors and they would match the color with their spectrum machine. He would then buy a gallon of that and then bottle the paint in hobby jars for future use.
I have the molds done with a very unusual wood putty material that is harder than plaster of paris. I tried the cellu-paper but I do not get the desired results but I am using Sculpey in the molds and I am getting a surprising result. I am still working on it and building the uniforms over the body, with tissue paper. It has opened a great possibility for multiple figures in a diorama with good body details.
I start my contract tomorrow, so updates will be slow for now but I will get back to this subject as soon as possible. See ya' around in the forums.
