Definitly a nice building.
I'd say you go for both.
Do the 28mm with interior. You can always shrink it (or at least the outer shell) to create a 15mm version.

the problem for 15mm interiors is that it's a HUGE MESS to assemble. So i'd go for the exteriors only, and yes, probably i can go for 28mm first, as the market is several times larger.

28mm version is now assembled, and shown next to the 15mm one!!





Some miniatures  from random manifacturers for scale. The two 15mm robots on the left are sculpted by me and 3D printed! *_*




Comments and questions always welcome.

So Far you have made the patterns available are you going to do the same for the buildings?  ???

for this tests i will for sure, if people are willing to try those it's all precious information for me.

for the finished products, i might think to make them on sale somewhere, or to start a kickstarter (to get funds and buy pepakura pro and to invest my time in a more complete set) selling the pdf (maybe with different overlay options). :)

Paper Modelers.com is a fairly big paper modelling site, although I don't see anything specifically for terrain.

Thanks!

However, considering the large amount of paper-terrain for wargaming around, i suspect there is something more specific where i can get technical advices before starting a larger structure or set! ^_^

I'm in the "Papermodels II" Google Group.
Lots of experienced builders and some creators. Decent people anyway, so, pretty sure you'll get any question answered.

good to know thanks!

meanwhile i'm working at my second building, since this was nothing but a test (and still i've to do the roofing too!)



I've also started texturing, but i'm on an early stage! I've been mostly studying the faster method, so i lost several hours searching around for solutions...

Looks just excellent! For 15mm, I would probably just go with sandwich-fold walls (no thickness), but at 28mm the thick concrete walls really add to the realism. I strongly suggest taking a look at the stairs that are included in most of WWG's TLX sets, they are built in a way that makes it possible to put figures onto every step while still maintaining the normal step dimensions, at least externally, because they extend inwards the staircase a bit. They can easily be modified with custo textures. Just a tip :)
