Here is the link to a cool article on the process of cutting up a hair roller to make strips of tiny men in rank. The horse is my own creation and I call it the "Van Pelt" cut.
To make the horse: acquire some plastic grid used for needlepoint craft.

Cut one for practice and then cut strips out - counting the number of lines you need to get each model. Then pick one of the slices and cut a multitude of figures all sequentially at once.
Using Aeleene's tack PVA glue, glue them down to the cardstock base and paint them in place on their final DBA stand.
I am so proud of this design idea. Beats gluing together rice.
Wait till you see my Lima bean hephalumps.
Thanks for reading.
