That is not paper! You are lying!!

Why on earth am I going through all sorts of trouble when I could have this?
(Because I don't have a printer)

Really nice!!

Very smart, using paper terrain with foamcore cores. Adding the snow really brings the whole thing together.

Those look like dave graffam models. I downloaded a few of those and they are superb. Most have different textures so you can print t off the exact same building and change the textures and have 2 different buildings. I'd not considered using foam board though.

I found that printing them on heavy paper and gluing them was ok, but they did not store too well and often became warped and bent. I'll try the foam board method for sure.

What glue did you use? I found that pva was useless as it warped the paper. I started using prit stick which was better but not perfect.

yes they are dave graffam models and very good too. I bought a ton in the sale. For 10 pounds you can cover a table and not reapt the building. IF you have any skill with photo shop they be come very modable :)

As for the glue I started with a tin of spray mount but after that run out  use a good old glue stick which works just as well.

I really like the way these turn out. I think the best part is how durable they are.
