Me? I just print all kinds of games rules: http://www.gamehobby.net/subject_indexes/subject_warhammer_fantasy_battle_4th.html
I’m a huge warhammer freak and 50% of my home printer’s ink is spent printing these templates and modeling guides out.

and
http://www.playlandstation.com/30-cool-comics-and-movies-characters-papercraft
Hope you find them interesting!

Great list, theres a couple fo great resources i found and posted on my blog
both allow you to print free safety and warning signs.

http://www.online-sign.com is by far a more superior site though that lets you fully cusomise any sign you can think of and print it for free :)
