I have cut and glued some of Peter Dennis' Paperboys for use in miniature wargames:

He has some free sets to download.

Also his instruction videos taught me a lot about how to cut and glue paper miniatures. Using so much glue basically that you end up with something that feels more like plastic than paper.

This is great for RPG games; I made up a small cut-down RPG ruleset for my 6yo, and was going to try to 3d print some figurines, but...

This way, I can get my kid to make his own monsters; while he can't run blender to produce his own monsters, using these paper templates is sufficient for him.

Those look delightful! Eg for the next RPG session. On Google, the search term "papercraft" yields a lot of other results with easy to assemble models

Reminds me of The High Keep of the Grand Chapter of the Order of St. Raphael, "Old Stoney" from _Dragon Magazine #86 (June 1984):

Any idea of scale? Could I use them as scenery when DMing?

What kind of paper should be used for these folding projects?
