(...) Given the costs and complexity of the die and the minimum number that needs to be printed, I think there can only be one sheet. But that sheet would have roughly 6 different army factions with matching shields (5x of each faction) and 20-30 (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

Oh yes. I forgot that these were going to be precut type stickers. I imagine that would send the cost up quite a bit. -Andy Lynch ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jimmy Park" <madoka@jps.net> (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Auugh! That would take forever. The stickers I've put onto my men so far were mostly "proof of concept" so I didn't bother being that careful. I used quickly drawn or scanned designs, printed them out, and quickly cut them out with scissors. (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

As far as diversity goes, lets think this through. Eric's point is well taken that in order to have a decent size army you'd want to have at least 20 torsos/shields of each design. However, my point of view, is that for me to get on board...and (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I was only skimming through the thread, and thought people were talking as though more than one sheet design was going to be printed up at a time. Given that it is only going to be one, I think 5 is enough for a given design, certainly. eric (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Not trying to pick an argument, but 10 male peasant designs? Really? I think that may be a bit much. There's got to be close to at least a dozen 'peasant-type' torso designs currently in the Star Wars line, and with 2 more movies, and dozens (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Well, what I was thinking was that it's not necessarily 10 peasants, so much as 10 misc. designs. These of course would encompass peasants, but also merchants, squires, nobles, clergy, etc. I imagine we were just using the generic term (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) When considering the number of designs, and number of iterations per design, keep in mind that there is room for an "aftermarket" of unused/unwanted parts. Suppose a sheet had 5 of design A and 5 of design B. I want 20 of A and someone else (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) They are two separate processes. First it is printed, then cut. (...) Yes, I talked about this possibility in another previous post. First though, I think we should give it a go with one sheet, before tackling multiple others. Jimmy (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)
