"Modern paper buildings in 15mm?" Topic

Does anyone know where you can get paper buildings for 15mm figures? I've seen some very nice ones on peoples blogs in 28mm but can't google any up for 15's. Looking to make city and towns for Zombie games.

I'm not aware of much that is specifically designed for 15mm. Why not just print out the 28mm stuff at 50% size or so? I'd leave off some of the smaller details, though (some furniture might be a pain at that scale if you're doing interiors).

Indeed, 28mm stuff can easily be resized for 15mm. Check the WorldWorksGames forums, I am pretty sure that it's not exactly 50% but some off-number for a perfect match.

For the print your own scale at 60%, that generally does the trick.

Thanks everyone for your help. I bought some good PDFs from WorldWorksGames. Can't find anywhere that allows me to alter print size. Any hints?

When you click on print, your printer properties should have the option to rescale.

Another way is to use the select tool in adobe reader to select the whole page, then ctrl-c and paste it into the image editing program of your choice, then go from there.

When did Tommygun's website go down? That used to be a great source of paper buildings.

Max, Just as another possible option. On my printer, Canon. You have to select page layout, then select scaled and then change the scale value. If I remember right it's 56% for 28mm to 15mm.

So you might need to do a quick check of your printers manual to find out how it handles things.

These are 10mm, but could be scaled up …

Yeah every printer driver is different. You probably have scaling in the printer properties somewhere, but not always.

Eureka I found it. I think. Just ran out of ink half way through printing the rules out lol. So can't see if it works. Looks like it will though.
Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!

Will do some in 15mm, the level 3 and 4 ones, as well as the stated 10 mm.

I have a set of very simple 6 to 9 story buildings. I am working on creating 3D detail for them. but if you would like, just post an email to send them to.

Thanks PaperPie! Thats very generous of you. My email is vombatus at bigpond dot net dot au

Maxshadow, I have sent those off to you. If you use them on a gaming table, I would like to see pictures.

I recieved them, thank very much PP. They are very nice buildings. I have picked one out to be the building of origin for my Zombie campaign. I'll post a link to photos on my blog when I get the city table done.

Hi Paper Pie. I used your buildings in a game and they certianly are a nice model. Its unfortunate that my paper building skills are pretty poor and so I couldn't do them justice. This ment I couldn't take any close shots with out making them look wonky. Photos here. link

Very nice Maxshadow. I have been working up how to make them more rigid, and somewhat 3d. Here is the first try.

Hey PaperPie I would like to try out your buildings. Did you have them posted somewhere?

Thats fantastic result Paper pie. You can see on my blog that, even as is, that they still give a great effect as a city building.

Paper pie- Could I get a copy of your fantastic building as well? They would be excellent for my city board!
I lost the scifi ones you sent me a while ago due to my last PC getting damaged, so is there a chance of you sending me those as well please?

Paper pie, your buildings look awesome. Is it possible to get a copy of them? I want to try all things zombie and those look perfect fur the dye town area.

Cheers,
George

I believe you have to be a supporting member to be able to send a private message and you would have a button with a P on it next to your name.
