Any ideas for card buildings
« on: 05 June 2012, 09:33:57 AM »
Hi,

I’m preparing a convention display game for 2013 based on (one of) the siege(s) of Lichfield in the English Civil War - I dunno which one yet.

I've got some fortifications to represent the Cathederal Close but I need quite few town buildings and don’t want to go to the expense (or bulk) of resin buildings (albeit very nice ones).

Has anyone got a source for self build card 17th century buildings (similar to the now defunct ones made by GW – Blood on the Streets)

At a push I could try and make my own but my building skills are legendary - sadly for the wrong reasons....

Cheers

I'm guessing you mean 28mm, and if so it worth looking at O gauge railway buildings? There must be an "Ye Olde Swanne Inne" or some such that can be used?
Measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe, hammer to fit, paint to match!

Hi,

Plenty of free card buildings here http://www.juniorgeneral.org/load.php?Period=0

If you look up the paper soldiers section and scroll down a bit there are buildings of all sorts, just resize them to the scale you need and print away.
