Yet another free card building.

[Erny]

The last couple of buildings have proven really quite popular so following up on some requests I give you the next building in my growing village of old school card terrain to use as you please for your gaming.

I'm enjoying making these and so if you have particular requests I'm all ears as it were.

Really nice. These Buildings are plain. simple and fit the old feel of warhammer (before the van Carsteins attacked and the citicens of the Empire found out that, the best way of keeping your dead from rising from the grave is by fixing their heads onto your buildings with lot's of mortar)

I even think it would blend perfectly with the old Blood on the Streets box (the WH, not the Mordheim one).

[Dr. The Viking]

Perfect!

I'm very grateful. I just hope I can figure out how to get them printed.

[Glitzer]

Perfect!

I'm very grateful. I just hope I can figure out how to get them printed.

I'd recommend you to use GIMP, Photoshop or something else, to make sure both sheets of the big house are printed at the same scale. I usally do a grayscale draft print first and then try to find a reasonable scaling ratio using a ruler.

We can try and print some when you come over

LOVELY, AMZING, FANTASTIC

I have lost my orginal conduit from Terror of the Lichmaster... PLEASE JIM could you fix it for me....?

[Erny]

Thanks for the nice words and all the downloads!

I find printing on A4 from the jpg in the Gimp reproduces them at the exact size I drew them.

A conduit shouldn't be too much problem, I have the originals but can't bring myself to cut them. I can however look at the general dimensions and come up with something of my own.

 I'm sure you know that the originals are out there scanned but you'd feel terrible just down loading them....

I'd happily pay to be able to make a proper cardboard city. I know that it's not a spot on the nice resin stuff out there, but I'm spanning over so many different genres and scales that I just can't ignore paper! 

[thebinmann]

Yeah, I know there are out there smewhere....

Lovely.
I remember reading somewhere an article on how to modify cardstock houses to make them more three dimensional - Sticking on window frames and so forth. Ring a bell for anyone?
Whilst I love cardstock buildings, I'd like them to fit in with some of my other scenery a bit better.

Just do it the same way as those WH40K-ers do it with the paper Rhinos. Print the kit multiple times, this one for example twice. Glue it onto cereal Board. Then add cut out Windowframes and wooden framework on the original house and build the roofs out of overlapping rows of two tiles each. Should look faboulous.

This is the best "how to" I have seen on that style of building; from the excellent War Artisan site:

Very time consuming but fantastic results.

[Glitzer]

I still wonder why the wood is raised in that instructions. Every time I see half-timbered houses in Germany it's the other way round: the timering is recessed . But maybe that's a result of aeons of adding layer after layer of plaster, but still it is kind of odd.

[Estarriol]

Thanks, Robh, that was the one!
Interesting, Glitzer. I guess in model form it wouldn't come out that well. If you're bored, give it a bash and see if it looks weird

[Erny]

Wow that really does get the most out of your card buildings but I have to wonder if with the same effort your couldn't make some decent scratch builds.

Though on the other hand I guess if you want or prefer the look of card buildings this is the ultimate.
