I've started making the templates (still not telling what it is going to be before I'm releasing it).
There'll be two version: with lines and without lines. To help, I'll be adding little markers on the template without lines to make it easier to figure out where you need to score the parts.
Usually, I don't include these markers on the template with lines, but sometimes the textures are so dark, that the fold lines are hard to see (I could change the colors of these specific fold lines, but that's no the option I want to use). /po/ thinks it would be useful to have the fold markers on the template with lines as well?
"Hard to see" is different for you and me, so I would include all fold markers, not just on the dark parts (else you'd be getting the remark: "on part X they're hard to see as well!")
Only con might be the template will look crowded and a little initmidating perhaps. ;o)

If it were me designing it, I'd only use the fold markers on the one with lines where it might be hard to see on a computer and on the final printout. Otherwise, I would just let the other fold lines remain on the pieces themselves, so it's easier to see the overall design. It will also be possible for it to not be as crowded this way, or if it is crowded, then it's solely to save pages.

I really like the idea of fold markers outside of the cutting line. I usually don't print out the guides/instructions to papercrafts, so that would be helpful when my computer is off.

Just finished adding 197 fold markers on page 3 alone and still need to do a part of page 3, so I'm gonna take a break now...
Yeah, that's a lot; don't know what that says for the difficulty, though, since that's different for every person anyway. But it will be time consuming, that's for sure. Some small parts as well, but on the testbuild I did, I was able to build even those quite easily, and the detail looks very nice.
Don't know how many pages there'll be in the end (I'm aiming at 10-15) so another 1-2 weeks to finish the templates, then building it myself and making the instructions another month or so. Be patient /po/! ;o)
