Creating my first Paper Building for wargaming

Hello everyone. I have always wanted to make my own paper buildings for wargaming, and for many reasons, I have was unable to do so - Until Now. Here is my first attempt a creating a paper based model/terrain piece for a wargaming table.

It is a small brick and plaster house, with a slate roof. It has no windows (at the moment), and was created using Photoshop and Illustrator. It is about 28mm in scale. I have photographed it, with a Flintloque mini for scale comparison.

I can already see some changes I want to make to this model, as well as a plethora of future models, but I think it is "not too shabby" for a first attempt. Comments and feedback are always welcome.

I am influenced by the Dave Graffams Models (www.davesgames.net). The quality of his paper models are top notch.

Enjoy the pictures:

Thor Modelling Studio

 Thor Modelling Studio

This blog was recommended to me by a fellow wargame painter/modeller, so I went over and had a look. It isis a really great  site. This guy has a lot of modelling talent, and has produced a good amount of tutorials, which are quite useful to any wargamer. Go over and have a look.

The blog is written in Thai, and I had Google translate it for me, but it does translate very badly. If you can get past the bad english translation, then this blog is certainly work a look. I am going back there now, for another good look around.

Enjoy.

Quar Posters

It has been a while since I have posted something here. That is because I now have even less free time than I have ever had, as I have returned to school, to study my life long passion of Art & Design, in this case Graphic Design. I am really enjoying it, and my spare time is now spent reading and doing homework for this course. It is now the mid-semester break, and so I have taken the oportunity to combine my grpahic design skills (I have gained some), with my love for wargaming and modelling. I have started creating some 28mm posters for the Quar world. The following question was asked by 'magog001' over that Quar forums;

the turn of the century was the advertiseing heyday for household goods what sort of adverts would be on qaur billboards for example = "thrips patented moth suace!, all the mothy taste non of the mothy waste!" or "lwrs soap" with picture of a comedicly dirty qaur kit basicly thngs i can paste posters to the side of biuldings im makeing and such

Here is link to whole thread: http://www.quarinvasion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1933 That was enough for me to spend some time using Photoshop. After a few hours, this is what i came up with;

I hope you guys enjoy. Feel free to download, print and attach these to your wargaming terrain. If you do, please post photos, I would love to see them. Note: Most of these are "Derivative Works", which means they are based on other artwork or images.

Snow, snow and more snow

I made a small diorama for a competition over at CDO (Chaos Dwarf Online), and it invloved making model snow. What an experience that was, and so out of context for me. As it is the middle of summer here in Australia. Anyway I learnt how to make snow, and here is the final result. It needs a little touch-up here and there, but it is finished enough, to be uploaded. Enjoy.
