Making DYO components - Supplies
Okay, with so many 'downloadable' bits for Panzer Grenadier I have after all these years decided to take the plung and have a go at this.
I liked these two articles on making counters but what are some of the tools, materials and supplies you all use?

RE: Making DYO components - Supplies
I also like the glossy photo paper!
Below are my comments from a while ago, when I use to make my own counters:
When I use to make counters this is how I did mine: first I copy them from the web-site on to photo paper, then I glue both front and back sides of the counters to a 110 lbs card stock copy paper, with a Permanent Glue Stick by Avery, then I glue both backsides of the card stock together, clip the counters and there you go. I have started to get better with it each time I do it.
The finished counter then consist of a photo paper front, two card stock middles, a photo paper back and all together they are just about the same size as a normal counter.
I buy all three materials; photo paper, card stock paper & glue from any local gocery store. So far, all my counters have held up, the oldest being about three years old. I think clipping the corners at the end of the process really helps to seal them together.
I don't plan on doing anymore homemade counters however. The last ones I did were for my own game design Nihon Silk. I am always happy with the results but just not the time it takes to do them.
