After moaning over at the Oldhammer blog about the lack of commercially available old school pen and ink style card houses I resolved to do something about it. I used to draw my own one off buildings as a kid and thought at the time how cool it would be to print them. So after only a few hours work we get this:

Not a high finish, quite humble beginnings but I really enjoyed drawing it. If you'd like an IP free Oldhammer style house please feel free to have it. To be found here:

There will be more.

Nice one Erny, very much reminds me of the cardbord house from the old Citadel Journal (first one, I think) from about 1985. Mine is long gone, of course, but this looks like it'll make a very nice replacement!
Now I need to find a tower to stick on the side of it!

Things like towers, out buildings and larger houses are on my to do list.

Built one, quickly using prittstick rather than PVA so it's a bit flakey at the joins; hope you don't mind, but I thought I'd put a pic here:

I have a bit of a soft spot for these olde Skool card buildings.
I think you have captured the style very well.

Lovely little house. I downloaded it. Thanks. Reminds me that i have a huge collection of those card buildings. From Bloodbath at Orc's drift amongst others. Unfortunately they are stored somewhere else and very difficult to get hold off. A case of someone who's gone digital (X-box and such) and can't be bothered to get them from the attic. Ah well, such is life. :?

I've added another house. Just made it longer but it is different to the first, something completely different next time. Please use as you like. It can be found here:
