I've finally finished enough of the Paperboys figures to set up both sides to recreate a battle of the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745/6. Today I took advantage of the nice weather to set them up outside for a photo-shoot. As individual units, they certainly look good. But I couldn't wait to see how they would appear en masse on the table. You can see the resulting pics on my blog here: link Here are a couple of the photos from the above blog posting:

Wow! As a lead snob I am impressed. |

That's impressive, tempted to buy one of the books now. |

Brilliant! How Long does it take to cut them out and how fiddly is it to put the guns and mortars together?
I like the storage System..When I saw the pic it made my have a Moment of Horror but a whole army in one box, huge Advantage over 3D figs. |

Hi Paul. On average, I can churn out a 72-man regiment every couple of nights. However, I can speed this up with some mass production, by doing the pre-gluing and scoring the folds for several units at once. The guns and mortars were fiddly, but still only took a couple of evenings. The book includes easier 2D guns and mortars if you want. |

Thanks for the Reply. I´ve looked throught your blog and found the maker of the books. I´m definately interested in getting a couple of thier books..WotR´s and medieval siege. Each book Comes with a set of rules. What´s your opinion on the rules? |

That's awesome. I have the WotR book, but haven't had the courage to start copying and cutting. |

Any actual painting involved? They do look great though. You mentioned copying and cutting, and what about open windows and windy days? |

Looks superb! I've started building a 6mm paper ACW army from Grand Manoeuvre and while they are small and a bit fiddly, I really enjoy being to run a nice battle on a small table. |
