Hi, Does anyone have a link to any simple paper models of middle/eastern or Egyptian buildings (homes, sheds, maybe the odd palace etc). Free printing, if possible. I have scoured the Internet and found zilch so far. They will be used for Napoleon's campaigns in Egypt and Syria, and I will need to be able to re-scale them to approximately 15-20mm. Thanks, TW. |

Not free, but well worth it: link For $12 USD, you get the whole shebang. And easily editable with GIMP or Photoshop. And easily rescaled. |

I have the set that pinkrabbit suggests. It is a really nice set and worth the $12. USD Depending on the scale you use, it should be very easy to scale down to the correct size. The buildings are for 28mm figures. As well, there is this fort. link The Germy's World buildings would require modification. they don't seem to have the wall around the terrace level (root) of the building that most middle eastern dwellings have. They would look good in 6mm however since you would hardly notice this detail at that size. |

Hey, you are in luck: I just custom-made about 8 generic middle-eastern structures, different heights and some with awning etc. Basically, I copied the building designs from PaperTerrain's desert town:
All houses store flat but this isn't visible if built. Email me at chernoskill (at) gmx (dot) net if you're interested, I could make some pictures. I made them for a Conan project but they can be used for any era. Be aware though that because of the fold-flat feature they are more than simple box builds. |

Or you could just get the PaperTerrain Buildings :) link |

Yes they look very nice. For people like me who try to save space it's good if they can store flat though :) |
