I never got my own torso sticker project very far off the ground, but I did do up a template. I was able to fit 192 torsos into a space that was 7.5" by 10" - no shields, though. You can pack a *lot* more torsos into a given space if you use their (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

1. Someone needs to volunteer to draw up a template to show how many stickers can fit on a standard (8.5" x 11") sheet of sticker paper. Current estimates are at 80-90 stickers per sheet. Whoever does this must give the printer 1/4" blank space on (...) (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)

(...) Yes, but the first one produced has to be specific to Castle, as the shields involved is only really applicable in Castle. Then, we can make a generic die for cutting out just torsos and possibly signs for use with all other themes. Jimmy (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.town, lugnet.space)
