I made a Paper miniature Sand Skiff for Dark Sun and I thought i would share.

Link to Colorized Page

What do you think?

If some one wants to edit this and upload it with art, that would be awesome.

I took a picture of my un-colored prototype on normal print paper.  I made this one first to make sure it all fit together correctly.

Very nice phoffman, I'll give a try for my next game.
I'm using 110lbs paper and it is sturdy enough.

I just stumbled upon some very nice paper cliffs and canyons from Fat Dragon and I'm going for an all 3D paper setting so this accessory will fit just right!

What texture would you suggest I apply to the model? Wood came to my mind but depending on the region where the skiff was made it could be another material.

Any other paper models you have as projects?



Chitin and bone. Make the hull the carapace of some giant insect, and the mast a spine from something (pointy spine, not backbone spine).

I colorized the image with wood and canvas textures.

And we can download the colorized version... where? 

Great work on this, btw.

Edit: I think that TheAmnesiac's skinning idea is great.  In the words of the Penny Arcade guys in the follow-up podcast to their recorded-play Dark Sun podcast, "On Athas, you can't throw a carapace without hitting something chitenous."

I updated the first post so there was an easy to find link.  But you could have right clicked on the image to save as.

Your free to put a any edits you want on this image.  I just put the textures on it in a manner that was easy for me.
