                        I came across these searching for something else. Don't know if
                        you have seen these before or not but figured I would post them
                        anyway:

                        http://www.linkclub.or.jp/~shun-pop/gallery1/SW.html

                        Anyone got a wide carriage printer. The bigger the better. LOL

                        Anyone ever tried to use these types of templates to try and cut
                        out styrene pieces instead of paper/cardstock?

                        Would still be flat detail but maybe they can be used as a starting
                        point for scratch building.

                        Not sure. I gather as thick as will work in your printer.
                        Maybe someone else knows.

                        Also, Forgot to add. If you back up the URL to the main site
                        they have a general sci-fi part. Some Star Trek, Back To The Future, and the Huey, Dewey, and Lewie from Silent Running.

                        My wife makes a lot of paper models she uses the 160 grams "ironed" paper, ironed means it's kind of satin looking instead of matt.

                        I have been thinking of using some of those parts as templates, but still haven't done it. However I built one of those paper Tie-fighters, a Y-wing fighter and a AT-AT, look great.
                        The wife spent about a month making a 1:1 scale M41 rifle from Alien, very impressive hanging against our wall.

                        I am in the process of building a few of those kits.

                        Printed the sheets out on a colour laser and glued them into thicker paper from the arts-supply store.

                        Using the templates for making one out of styrene, I think it would depend on how the finished section would be in 3D.

                        Said that I am in te process of doing just that, some sections I use the template others i sculpt or carve balsafoam to the desired shape.
