As I finally clean up after Christmas, I am finding many small boxes that contained items mailed by Amazon, among others. These are typically 4-6inch cubes. I am thinking these would make nice buildings for 54mm figures. So who makes printable walls, with doors and windows, that I can then cut and paste, literally, on to the boxes to make buildings and even houses? I have lots of printed paper houses and buildings in smaller scales that I could enlarge and put together but I wanted the strength of the box core. Thanks for any ideas. |

Well I can't help with the 54mm scale but I do have styrene windows, vents, and doors for scifi stuff that is designed to glue right onto a flat surface. Or even a curved surface for that matter. |

Here are the sets. corseceng.com/15mm_flat_pack I normally don't sign my posts unless it's formal company business but I guess I should have for this one. Helps keep my personal posts separate from my company ones. |

Check out the Combat Storm PDF's: link. Best option would be to print them on full-sheet peel-n-stick labels, such as Avery makes: 8.5" x 11" label sheet for making custom sized labels on inkjet/laser printers. Cheers! |

GOOD suggestions, thanks. CorSecEng pieces are nice but of course way too small. I might just print out some of the pictures, enlarge, cut out and use those. I have gotten many of examples of good windows and doors from catalogs of the real thing. I have lots of mean street sheets for my 25mm pulp games. What I have are only the facades of buildings but I need 4 sides for detached houses. I might try printing out enlarged portions for store fronts, then edit to make sides and backs. The Combat Storm buildings are quite good, once I edit out the arabic text. I can change colors but that is only good for 2-3 houses. Still looking for more suggestions, Here is an first attempt to us the Combat Storm pics. A bit too small for 2 story building with 75mm figs but will to with editing.

unpacks and sets up an inexpensive 3D printer, and prints a test object.
