If you need some easy to create steampunk models for the launch of Warmachine: Wrath... then what about these from Dave Graffam Models?
Not only is there the stunning Inventors house available, but you can get a free stempunk-taster by downloading this Observatory!
Why not build one over the weekend?
What are you waiting for?

Still not sold on the idea of card terrain tbh
But I love that inventor’s house!!!
Might have to download a couple of freebies to suck it and see.
There is a coachhouse and a hovel as well as the observatory to try out.

Its all in the paper you use.
Use the thickest card your printer can put through , its usually 220 – 240 gsm or thereabouts for normal home printers, the thicker card really makes a difference.

Thats the beauty of cardboard terrain though, it doesnt add to the “to do” list, you just print it off stick it together and hey presto you have your terrain. Obviously it doesnt look as good as properly modelled 3D terrain but with a few embellishments and a sprinkling of static grass it can look passeable
well, the cardboard terrain is nice for geting terrain quickly, then you can replace it ata later date, a bit at the time.
wow, this is a bookmark for sure.
What many don’t see is the fact that a modeller is being given a perfect present with any Cardstock building – not only can it be built as is but can be custom/modded easily. The other huge plus for those that have a heavy handed gaming crew – by mounting on foamboard and (upon a true drying) a light spray of sealant there is some terrain that is just a strong (or stronger) as resin. The other huge plus if people find the surfaces too flat is by using Matte Board and foamcore the buildings can be layered up –… Read more »
