Title: Cardstock cliffs
Post by: Gluteus Maximus on November 25, 2008, 11:09:14 AM
Some of you may recall, I like using card buildings etc, for a variety of reasons.

Here are some potentially very useful card cliffs and mountainous terrain:

They won't be to everyone's taste, of course, being rather "2-dimensional" and "regular" in texture and shape, but for me they have tremendous potential to use in Indy, Lord Of The Rings or North West Frontier etc games.

After all, quick, easy and cheap are always worth considering  ;)

Can't say that I use paper terrain because I 'like' it, but at the moment I cannot afford buying resin/plastic models for all those different periods I'm trying to cover at the same time (blame this place!).

Only problem right now is, I also lack time to build all those paper models I've got collected on my pc.   ::)

Fat Dragon does an awful lot of useful stuff - as does MicroTactix and Worldworks. - As soon as I get my act together and go off to Kolding to fetch me a new supply of 5 mm foam board, I'll have to set some time aside for paper modelling... have quite some MicroTactix modern buildings I have to assemble and make concrete tiles for to be placed on on the Streets of Mayhem table....

Yes, "needs must" and all that.

There is also this very nice set made by WorldWorks:

Or their HellWorks cliffs (there are some cliffs without this demonic stuff in it):

If only the day had more hours to finish all the projects I'm dreaming of... ;)

All right, I do not know if I should be amazed or weirded out! Certainly a nice idea, and I really like the way it mimics computer graphics landscapes (well, it was obviously designed on a computer, but it looks 100% spot on to do some Unreal Tournament skirmish gaming, if you catch my drift).

On the other hand, on some spots, it just looks to "papery" for me to make a proper "natural landscape". I´ll probably stick to using paper for man-made terrain. But great stuff, nonetheless.
