"Credit card flats?" Topic

I would like a cheaper alternative to zinnfiguren, but I have never been able to make paper work particularly well.

Anyway, I took a look at the pirateships game (can't think of the name) where the pieces are printed, double sided, onto credit card material, then stamped, and assembled for play.

This would, I think, look very nice for Patrick Crusaiu's figures, or anything else that was nicely done, provided it can be made economically.

What is involved with this process? Can you run down to the copy shop and do it, or do you need special equipment?

Thanks

I had custom plastic punchout business cards made a few years ago. If I remember right the die for punching them was around four or five hundred dollars and I paid thirty cents each for a couple of thousand cards.

Try the online novelty advertising sites.

I think that's a very good idea…

I've seen something very similar, but done in thin wood, at the last historicon. They looked very nice and I believe they even had buildings. Sadly, I neglected to look at the name of the maker. the ones I saw were ACW flats.

Anybody else seen or heard of these? I'd love to find them.

Thanks
