Recently on my website, Must Contain Minis, link I discussed playing tabletop games with Paper Terrain. The focus is mostly on Bolt Action, but there is some focus on other games too as well as a short description of four companies that sell paper products.

Below are some preview pictures.

I have used paper terrain for the best part of 20 years. Invented the stuff that folds flat even the hills. Why would you anything else, well proably no good a club terrain

Paper certainly is less durable than other materials, but the price is right. Cool that you even made hills out of paper. It would be neat to see pictures of that if you have any.

I use a Glue Stick to bond paper to 3mm thick cardboard: very fast assembly (no painting required), looks great, durable, and heavy enough to avoid the usual suspects (wind, bumps, etc.). Cheers!

Must Contain Minis, sorry about the link I'm on a different computer and I forgot my flikr pasword so this will have to do for now:-

hills ;_

link The vehicles are 1/72 and the inset is an A4 folder it all packs into. The one star is interesting, sombody bought masses of stuff, gave it one star and never said why. Somebody found an error and still gave me 3 stars.

Not sure about the not durable. I have to confess after about 10 years (perhaps a bit more) the original houses that were printed on a dot matrix printer are being retired. I have destroyed figures that that as much handling in a lot less than that. NOTHING survives as club terrain so long so even resin buildings are short lived in "club land".

Will try for better photos tomorrow. in the mean time:-

Folds and village:-

Thanks for the links and information UshCha. Awesome to hear that your paper buildings have lasted over ten years. :)

OK so thse are newish but shows better what can be done. 1/72 vehicles.

link

from 2005 these are still going and are not the oldest so I may have lied its quite a bit more than 10 years.

do helicoptes count as scenary? Must admit this was more for fun than actual, simulation they normal stay 4km away so never appear on the board.
