Hello all,
I posted this in the WWII and they suggested I post it in here. Ok I have started a wargaming club fro the students at the school I teacher at and we are currently using plastic army men and small boxes with holes cut in them for buildings. I don't like the generic army men and he club is unfunded by the school so I am going with cheap 20mm figures rather then the 28mm figures that I like. Regardless the figures are a surprise for the students since I hope to have them assembled and they will each paint their squad, (We are using point blank so they only need 5-10 minis).
Now I want to make some building to go with this and since I am on a budget are there any websites that tell you how to build 20mm/1/72 scale terrain from scratch? Preferably out of cardboard and other cheap or very inexpensive materials. I am not too worried about making it stunning because great thing about younger students is that they can see unmodified cardboard box as a house no problem. I would like to surprise them after Christmas with some better scratch built stuff. Please don't suggest I buy it. I blow my personal budget on the minis there is nothing left for buying buildings.
Cheers,
Daniel

You could look at paper terrain, I've used it previously and mounted it on corregated cardboard to make it more sturdy.
Some 15mm terrain here, just scale it up a little.

Or some of these.

When I use printable houses, I mount the printed card on foamboard from WalMart. The resulting structures are inexpensive and durable. If you want more of a 3-D look, then print out multiple copies so you can recess windows and doorways, etc.
