Today I thought I would go over to a paper model site and make suggestions for making 1:18h scale props. There I got a tip about a play set that on another paper model site

this looks pretty neat, I'll have to buy some of their stuff once I get a printer. Do you think the type of paper you use makes a difference at all? I would imagine thicker paper would probably be more useful than skinnier paper. This would have a lot of potential for wargaming too, cheap, but cool looking sets, who can complain about that?

I found another build pic at finger and toes.com. Looked to be the bridge section the spurt beams, chemical drum, storage container, and barricade. I wish it showed the towers.

I use cardstock as a test for a lot of things I make. It really lets you see what needs to be changed. This a pretty cool set. Finger and Toes has lots of great paper builds that can be resized pretty easy for Joe scale. I'll post some the ines I've used soon.

After seeing this set first hand I got all kinds of great ideas, and I'm hard at work on a few dio projects. You all know what my command & Control centers look like, so looking at this is a real treat tracker, This template has loads of potential, like maybe a new eco lab if you're a ARAH fan, but I see a lot of uses for this.
