3 new building sets released! This is 30mm-scale fantasy and medieval papercraft terrain for wargaming, roleplaying, model railroads, classroom projects or just for the fun of it. With just a few sheets of cardstock, a sharp hobby knife and glue, you can quickly print and construct beautiful three-dimensional papercraft terrain like the sample image here, or customize the look of your buildings by adjusting the layer settings in the PDFs. Layered PDFs give you the power to customize your paper terrain by simply hiding or revealing different layers provided in the files, giving you an exceptional value. Just choose your favorite mix of base textures (brick, stone, wood or plaster) and add or subtract weathering, windows, doors, lamps and other external features with the click of your mouse, and print out your custom creation! The Jumble House files include a chimney, roof, walls and footprint for extra stability, and each of these can be customized to give you countless unique combination's. These files are 200dpi, which when printed at their full size will look great on the tabletop without requiring bloated file sizes. Full instructions are provided, as well as printing tips and guides for printing at smaller scales for other hobbies and games. To view these files you'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 or a later version. www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=64471&affiliate_id=99641www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=64472&affiliate_id=99641www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=64473&affiliate_id=99641

Well that was kind of out of left field! Dave had mentioned going retail. Glad to see he decided to keep it in the OneMonk co-op family. Very cool!

Way to go, Dave. Terrain at OneMonk. Very cool. Who would have thought? I am glad you guys are working together on this. Maybe you could collaborate on that Elven village Jim has always wanted to do.

Thanks so much for all the support and inspiration!
More designs are on the way very soon. I'm planning to release three or four models each week for the foreseeable future, sprinkling in new designs along with reimagined/retooled versions of my older designs. I've even got some sci-fi/military stuff in the queue and I'm buzzing with ideas for all sorts of new models and figures.
Wooooh! Dave

Kudos on presentation!
The addition of the percentage list for printing at different scales is AWESOME. I imagine people will find this immensely useful! This is a question I see pop up in the forums on just about every paper terrain makers forums.
Really nice to see the Layer concept put to use... the only con is that it really slows down Acrobat viewer & sending print to printer. But worth the extra wait.
Texture work is par excellence!

Thanks, Floyd!
I really had to hunt around for those percentages, and I hope they're pretty accurate.
I'm not thrilled about how much the layers slow things down. I actually use a pretty low-end PC for designing, so I figure faster machines will handle them a little better. I'm counting on them being worth the wait -- and I know what it's like to wait for some layers to render and wonder if I've got a corrupt file or something.
My new designs are getting more work done with fewer layers, and hopefully this will speed things up just a little bit. I'm sure I'll figure out some other time-saving tricks as I get more experience at this.

Awesome, Steve! Thanks for picking that one. What kind of textures did you end up printing?

I've just wanted to congratulate you on your building set. These textures are fantastic, and the fact that you've used shadows casted from unlit lamps and made me smile, it looks so good. Very nice looking paper models

I bought the houses today, and have to chime in too.
They look great! I really like the layers idea.
I have still to build one, but they look superb. I have built some of you old houses and the principle is the same. - So even Butterfingers-Bryn will be able to make some houses... ;D ;D

Maybe you should turn off more of the layers when opening the pdf, so the waiting isn't that long when one opens the pdf the first time. Greetings, Zephalo
