I've just started making terrain on my computer at work.



Can anybody suggest any links to 20's / 30's style wall paper?
(I want to make the print as authentic as possible)

thanks

BK

Oooh, nice work Mr Knight!
Are these to be printed and laminated onto foam-card?  :mrgreen:

Google found me these:

printed onto inkjet card then assembled using my pack design knowhow.
(the main box is an 0427 style box without the lid.)

the room is 4" square, and once enough are done they will be made into a PDF document.

4" seems a little fiddly! Is that due to the size of inkjet card?

yep its all down to using A4 inkjet card.
Printed corridors etc should help expand the designs but its only WIP at the moment.
(and free thanks to works printers.)

not sure if A3 Inkjet card is available.

Here are some more room inserts for the current box:

Looking good!

How thick it this card? I'm worried they will turn out a bit flimsy.... :?

They don't have to be folded from one bit of card: If you expanded the floor to be full A4 size and printed the walls on a different sheet they could just be glued to black foam-core to make more sturdy (and larger) rooms quite easily!

Its not that thick. but once assembled and stuck together using 2 sided tape its a lot more solid.

The room design is then dropped into the box.

the box i've made is a Fefco 0427 style box minus the lid.

this is what is limiting the size so far, as i wanted to build something that could be put together pretty quickly, without the cost of glues and foam card.

i'll do a similar layout for sticking on Foamcard too as the artwork is all set up.

Are you planning on selling the PDF when you have it all completed?

Not planned on it. It'll be very basic. (no scenery) but i'm hoping to expand it once i've got the layouts nailed.

This all started because i wanted to do a Zepellin layout but didn't have the funds for foam card etc.

brings a whole new meaning to the term Box Room eh? :wink:

Send me a PM if you're interested in sharing with the world. It would be a great download for the Pulp Heroes site. Even basic gives pulp games a quick and easy way to do rooms for their .45 Adventure games.

OK :) I'll send you the PM once i've sorted the basic room artwork.

Here is a taster for part of the Zeppelin i'm working on.
