Here's what I've done so far. Printed em' out, and they are all roughly in the 30mm range, give or take...
While I'm not the best artist in the world, the monsters here should be easily identified I believe. My main gripe is that the small details I drew on some of these were lost due to being scaled down. In an attempt to remedy this, I've started redrawing the whole lot using vectors instead, and they look pretty slick so far. I'll upload that batch when they're finished!
I saw someone here had made actual miniatures for several KF enemies some time ago, but I think that may require a bit too much know-how for the average user. These paper minis only require a pair of scissors, a ruler, some craft glue (UHU glue pens work wonders, in my experience), and a sharp craft knife! A black marker also helps, in coloring the white edges - this small step really makes most papercraft models/minis shine!
STEPS:
(When printing, it's best to use cardstock and set quality to HIGH; using regular paper would be a waste of ink with these, as it'd be far too flimsy to even stand! Print at actual size, and do NOT fit to frame, or the size will be off!)
1 - Using ruler along the red lines, score (lightly cut/scratch) across the red lines to allow easy folding later.
2 - Roughly cut out the minis with scissors, then cut out individual minis for the next steps.
3 - Apply a thin layer of glue to the back inner (white, blank) side, and fold over - try to burnish (rub) the length of the mini to allow even glue distribution.
4 - Wait a bit until the glue is dry! Important, as otherwise, cutting will become a sticky mess!
5 - Using a craft knife, cut out all the 'negative' spaces, including between legs and arms if such spaces exist.
6 - Once cut out, you're pretty much done! You can edge the white paper on the sides with a black marker (dry erase markers are great for this, in my experience) to make the colors pop.
7 - Apply to a base of your preference - onemonk.com has a collection of free bases to print and use if you're lacking your own!
