"More 15mm paper model templates" Topic

My previous paper model templates were relatively well received, so I thought I'd continue the trend. This time, I'm making some models that are modular and stackable (like blocks).

As a picture is worth a thousand words:

As paper buildings go, they're pretty simple to make. If you can assemble a box you can make these. Making a hundred of them to create several city blocks is the hard part. I tried to make them as versatile as possible, though. I also hope to add more building types to the set, but I also have more figures to paint.

The accompanying article and downloads my be found by clicking on these words.

Those look great!

Love the angled facades, and triangular window designs.

Very cool!

Edit: Oh, and just so you know I'm wearing khaki pants and a blue shirt…Haha…

Thanks! Love me some paper buildings.

Brilliant!!!

Thank you so much,

Dan

Epic, I just went out and bought some colored plastic for making these with :D Also going to use your layouts with Foamcore so I can make something a bit sturdier. And I need to up them to 28mm scale.

I appreciate the templates, hopefully my results turn out as nice as yours.

Now those look sci-fi and techy for future war games.

Great blog and really nice buildings. Thanks for sharing those.

Lesack,

Have you given any thought to making templates for container buildings like these?

I really like how the top corners are cut on those containers.

Thanks,

Dan

Actually, that was (hopefully) one of my next projects. It goes along with the settlement made of recycled spaceship parts.

Awesome!!!

Dan

I was also going to start working on multi-layer, to give some dimension to my buildings. This is good inspiration.

these are sick

These would be ideal candidates for 2mm laser cut MDF… then you could glue in plastic or card depending on your preference. A job for Mad Mecha Guy maybe?

I considered doing that, but being the glutton for punishment that I am I cut them all out by hand.

I am sort of considering purchasing my own laser cutter/engraver. . .

Those are great, those are free you are a gentleman and a hero Lesack !!

Lesack,

After all you have done for us already, I feel guilty asking …

Have you made any progress with the container dwellings I posted above?

Thanks so much,

Dan

Hi Dan,

Because I saw an ad for Ronin (from Osprey) I started working on Japanese medieval buildings!

I'm also working on a paper dice tower building; it's more complicated than I thought it would be, because I also want it to double as a non-obvious dice tower when not in use.

It also didn't help that I was flooded out of my apartment for a while. . .

I will pull out the finger and start working again.

Flooded!!! That's terrible. All ok now?

Dan

Sorry to here of your luck hope all is well, I just want to say "Thank You" for sharing your work,

@ CC I'm planning to make shipping container out of 1x1 wood dowels and just cover then in paper strips, one 36" dowel should make about 14, 20 footers at 2 1/2 in cut

War Monkey,

I bought a bunch of these "AMAC" boxes for just that purpose:

I planned to add a styrene strip all around the top, in order to raise the height of the lid section to almost an inch. Then I would cover up the outside with a few styrene accents to make it look like a container.

Thoughts?

@ CC Sound like a good idea! the added bounes is you can open it up for inside action
