Interesting! It would fit right in with renaissance period game, be it fantasy or historic. Colourful buildings like this theatre certainly make for a cool centerpiece, and the textures are very well done. Congrats!

glad you like it! yes the original file is a theater that could work for many periods, I tried to keep their vintage look but replacing many "fairy tale" details by warhammer images, like the undead horde, the background art, added some chaos icons, etc.
The good thing of that specific file is the size and proportion, the original file is already in a 28mm scale, so only requires to print and build.

Really nice!!

I remember as a kid, me and father build a paper theater out of two postofficeboxes and we made the stages of Astrid Lindgrens Ronja ,Brother Lionheart and my own make up of chinese stage. Sadly it's long gone and but some of the figures and backdropes still liv in my attic. :)

Are you playing any scenarios around the theater?

Many thanks for that, good sir; it's wonderful! :-*

I'll be sure to find a way to use this. Just by looking at it, I'm getting all kinds of ideas already...

What a splendid idea.
We have a few paper theatres, but never considered using them for gaming before.
Got quite a few from:
