Didn't find any paper dolls so I took a scrap of cardboard from a book I just got in the mail. The link below is an image of the finished models with ruler to show the scale. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/oIKlfI73n-_3tBysyI2c9A?feat=directlink I used 1" X 2" cardboard building blocks. Then I followed the pattern for a 6 foot hexayurt and 6 foot stretch modified to have 6 foot high walls.(Scale 1 inch = 4 feet)
I still like the idea of a single page print out for each Hexayurt. One with a common scale like 1 inch = 4 Feet so you can see them next to each other in scale. It would also be cool to have one with the maximum scale for a regular piece of paper. I will see what I can do for creating some Hexayurt Paper Dolls. I don't have good software for this as a Vector drawing program like Illustrator would probably be best. At BM last year I got sick of bending over to get into my Hexayurt. I like 6 foot walls as they make the structure easier to build with less people. The roof is plenty tall at 10 feet for a 8 foot Hexayurt using 6 foot walls and 8 feet for a 6 foot Stretch Hexayurt with 6 foot walls.
