Steampunk Papercraft Character Sheet

[Curufea]

This is a work in progress and will require anyone wanting to use it to:

• have access to a colour printer, scissors, a cutting blade of some sort, a ruler, paper glue
  
• be willing to put together several sheets of paper in a fiddly manner to create a single character sheet.
  

The generic sheet will be about a centimetre thick and consist of three layers - the back sheet, the workings and the front sheet.

User created content for the sheet is in the form of inserted paper pegs (like a child's toy with different shapes) and rotating wheels in the working. Some inserted pegs will be written on. The pegs consist of a front and sides, don't require gluing and have no back.

Why this sheet? I like steampunk and papercraft, and the 11th Doctor has a steampunk themed TARDIS.

Anyhow, as a start, here are the back and front faces of the attribute wheels. Attributes consist of a peg for total, and a wheel for current score(in case of injury).




And already I can see I need to make the numbers easier to read

Here's a better version-

I've now put together six of them and here's a picture:

These wheels are for the temporary attributes, I'll do the paper pegs for the permanent attributes next, then the attribute box that houses them all.

The characteristic pegs - for the more permanent numbers on a character sheet-



There are higher quality individual ones for printout here

The front face of the attributes box-


Obviously I've not put in the tabs, other sides or spacers yet

Coming along awesomely. Nice work!

It's not structurally very flat though sadly - and with the spacing needed between each attribute, I'm thinking I probably should split it into 6 boxes instead of just one for all attributes.

My current thinking is you make what parts you need for a character - then slot them together.
