There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change. It is: "To so use the means at hand to inflict the maximum ammount of wounds, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum ammount of time."

Be my guest.

If you really like a design, and can make a bit of money in the process - feel free to use it in commercial endeavors. It is what makes the world go round, and helps to improve on products by getting new ideas tossed in the pot.

That said, I wouldn't mind a little kick back, nudge-nudge, wink-wink.

Better "Paper" Models

Paper models can be very useful, but even with thick card stock - they don't tend to be very durable.  If I have a paper model that I want to modify or use a lot, I make it out of sheet styrene (plasticard).

Print the model out like normal and than you can either glue the pattern on the card or use carbon paper to transfer it to the card.  Cut out the parts  and glue it up.  Ignore the fold lines - it is normally easier to just glue the edges together than to try and get a good fold with the plastic.  Also, the tabs are not needed either.

You can use various epoxy putties to add additional details and also use normal plastic model parts or scraps of styrene.  Prime and paint like any other plastic model.  The end result is very durable and will last a lot longer than paper models getting the same amount of use.
