Hey folks, I'm starting a new project here using WWG's Shellendrak Manor: West Wing and the game that they made for the old Shellendrak Manor set. Phase 1 is more or less complete... Here we have the pieces for the game ready to cut apart The main build of the mansion. It's going to be rather large and I hope I have the space to display it and storage to tote it around. This is the storage box pieces that I currently have ready to go. I will probably have to build a few more of them once I get going at full speed. So far: Cardstock: 207 pages Copy paper: 62 pages Mat board: 5 sheets Time: 28 hours total (mostly waiting for cutting machine to finish. I did have some problems to overcome, but I got them figured out and went on.) Also used up one Silhouette sd carrier mat and one brand new cutting blade.
More to come as I get further along!!!

My word! That is more cardstock than I have used in my entire life! Keep us posted.

Forgot to mention that I've now used 5 sheets of foamcore board and will have to get at least 3 more sheets. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing!!!

Update: All the 3x3 tiles and all of the 3x6 tiles are cut out and notched. Got about 30 of the 6x6 tiles to notch out and covered. After that it's just putting it all together and decide on the appropriate props and dressings for it. I figure I should have this done the week after Christmas and ready to play by the end of January due to the fact that my cutter has gone bad for some reason and I need to take it apart to see what the problem is. If I can get that fixed, then it will cut (pun intended) my working time in half.
Pics to come when I get 'er done!
BTW. Does anyone know of any sites that have era appropriate furniture in paper? I've found a few sites, but nothing really jumps out at me going with the mansion. Looking for Pulp Age or maybe even Victoria eras.

Tried doing the dollhouse furniture search, but I have never heard of the paper theater term, so that will be a big help. Thanks VK. Going to try and get all the tiles notched and covered and anchors done this weekend so I can get a sense of what kind of a monster I have unleashed here.

All right ladies and gentlebeings, Got the first floor "somewhat" done. Somewhere I have misplaced about 3/4 of my interior walls and about half of my exterior ones. Looks like I may have to do some more printing and cutting by hand this time since my Silhouette has taken a major dump. But just to show you what I have so far, here are some goodies to look at: Wide view of the First Floor. Closer look at the interiors (Please ignore the wallpapering schemes.) The Front Entrance Side View And to show some perspective for what the game is about: We find our heroes in a spot of trouble!!! Facing a couple of Zombies Spider bites cause me to swell up like a poisoned pup!! Nyarlathotep for President!! I'll have some more shots when I get the rest of the building done and with the correct walls. P.S. If you are using WWG's TerrainLinxPlanner, double the amount of walls you will need if you are going to use one style (walls with brace/walls with no brace).

Taking a break from everything for a bit. I very rarely become ill, but when I do, it knocks me on my fundament for a while. So until I can get back to at least 75%, I am just going to lie in bed and read the beta rules for Guncrawl 2nd Edition Christopher Roe linked up. I may attempt to do the game box later and make the tutorial for it, but just not right now.

Just found this thread. You may want to check out the new Mantic Terrain Crate Kickstarter. Lots of appropriately scaled furniture and props for this type of project. Live until March 8th, 2019.
