hey there
first of all thanks a lot
i use normal copy paper with 80gsm
the shiny look comes through the laser print
and the rest is patience
then to the other question
the most crafters releasing there models
but not at deviant, mostly with a link to some other upload sources
but i know what you mean
to explain you have to know that i build the models basically just for me
i want them standing at my desk and it's still a hobby for me
i get no money or other things for building them
of course it's also that i see no reason to pay for something what i could create on my own
and when you work for weeks on one single model it has much more meaning as when you "just" buy it over amazon
that i later share the models is more or less just a side effect
why should i hide the stuff when others would like to build them too ?
and i would be quite an asshole if i would hold the sheets just for me
