Got my new Infinity box and the buildings in it are quite nice. I was wondering if there are any other paper buildings available??

Tons, I'd say :)

(Including, but not limited to, print and play sets)
WorldWorksGames, the stuff at RPGNow/WarGameVault, at least two seperate Kickstarter successes (one had Sci-Fi interiors, one was a whole city), Germy's buildings, free sets across the web… You just have to look in the right places ;)

Worldworks Games link jas a number of sets that would work great with Infinity.

Being a fan of the European card models I think paper terrain to be an excellent idea. I have made simple buildings of my own but nothing like the worldworks stuff. I tried an inexpensive commercial product bought from Wargame Vault but was completely frustrated. The product was excellent and printed fine but I could not get my printer to work with heavier paper and the two commercial printing outfits I tried refused to print my files citing copyright violation so I just gave up. My homebrew buildings were printed on copy paper and glued to a foam backing which I found very time consuming. I would have preferred to have buildings on cardstock as suggested by the makers of printable terrain. Buildings of this type can be very durable. I am currently in the market for a new printer maybe it will handle cardstock. Any suggestions? The ultimate question however is who does preprinted paper terrain or sets like the buildings for Malifaux?

Allen, did you consider using full sheet labels for printing and then apply them to cardstock?

Cherno06 Oct 2014 4:30 a.m. PST

Most printers should handle up to 150 lbs cardstock. You just have to use the paper tray in the back, not the normal tray under the printer.

Specifically, look at these guys at wargames vault, I use them and world works extensively :
Finger and toe models
Stoetzel's structures

Also, look at these you can try for free:

RAF, thanks for the idea. Does that stuff bend like ordinary paper/cardstock?

Cherno, thanks for the suggestion but my printer does not have a tray at the back.

et al. Does anyone offer preprinted SF buildings or SF buildings like the Malifaux fantasy line?

Allen, I've used the labels on 110 lb cardstock from Wally World with no issues. You also get a more vibrant print than directly on cardstock. Another option is photo paper, I've had good luck with the least expensive Staples brand. If you do go with the labels, I'd recommend ordering them from onlinelabels.com, much cheaper than Staples, etc.

Check tabletop towns, he had a kickstarter of containers that were perfect for infinity, and I think he's doing some buildings next.

Paperterrain have a sadly limited selection:

I did end up with a large building from 21st century games once, but I cannot find any reference to them online at all.
Otherwise, yes-buy a new printer. Or just print on plain paper and glue to a substrate.

This guy's stuff is free, and usually decent. I have a ton of his modern stuff, which is excellent (and nested, makes storage a breeze) but he does have a Sci-fi section with buildings, accessories and Vehicles.

There's some great free paper scenery at Germy's site:

Toposolitario has some modular buildings that Marco designed to use with Infinity. Scroll down the page and look for IKUBE
