 BUNKER DELUXE KIT[/b] The Bunker Deluxe Kit is a downloadable PDF papercraft model perfectly suited for 28mm-30mm science fiction wargames, roleplaying games, dioramas, class projects or just for fun. Construction is easy, combining simple forms that require no special skill or papercrafting experience. MULTI-LAYERED AND SINGLE-LAYERED FILES: This kit includes a full set of multi-layered files, offering 3 color schemes (gray metal, desert brown, jungle green) for each of its components. Each part can be customized by adjusting the layers, so that you can hide or reveal battle damage, weathering, external equipment or other items. Also included is a set of single-layered files for your convenience, with a limited selection of components and color options. Whether you choose multi-layered or single-layered files to print from, you'll be able to design a variety of bunkers, each with a unique appearance. DIMENSIONS: The bunker has a footprint of 7" x 9", and stands approximately 4.2" tall at the highest point. CONTENTS: A ground tile, large support pillars, triangular support columns, long and short walls for the ground level, a staircase, a variety of crates and chests, upper level pieces that can be lifted off to access your soldiers within, long and short walls for the upper level, doors and window shutters that can open and close, and more. Full instructions are provided, as well as a sample layout plan for creating a larger bunker complex. REQUIRED MATERIALS: To build one bunker, you'll need 13 pages of cardstock to print on, a sharp hobby knife, paper glue and a cutting mat. It's recommended that you also use scissors, a cork-backed aluminum ruler and fine-line ink markers to fill in the paper edges. To make full use of this model, you'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 or a later version. This model, and lots of others, are now available from DavesGamesNet. |

It is a very nice structure, and the textures are just great

How suitable would this model be to scaling down to 15mm?

Honestly, I only build my models at full size so I don't know how tricky they are to build when they're in smaller scales. What I'd recommend is that you download the free Hovel model from my site, print it at about 50% of the original size, and see how much trouble that is. The Bunker model is more involved and has some smaller parts, but it uses fairly simple shapes and I'm sure it's possible to build it at 15mm scale if you're careful and precise enough. The little 3D add-on modules are optional, so you can leave those off it they're too fiddly. But at your scale the walls are going to end up being only about 1/16th of an inch thick, and some of the tabs will be just a few millimeters wide. At that scale, some of the smaller tabs won't even be needed. It'll certainly be bigger and easier to build than this Tower of London (you'll have to be registered at Papermodelers to see them): www.papermodelers.com/forum/architectural-models/6277-tower-london.html |

This model looks so good I'm going to buy it anyway! Viva la 28mm! Thanks for the info, though. BTW, will you be putting your whole catalog on RPG Now or just select models? |

BTW, will you be putting your whole catalog on RPG Now or just select models? Eventually I'll be posting all of my models on OneBookShelf's sites (Wargame Vault, RPGNow and DriveThruRPG). I'm only allowed to list 2 models per day so I don't hog up their New Releases lists. If you care where your money goes, I'd urge you to shop at Ecardmodels, though. I get a larger percentage of the profits at Ecardmodels, and the rest goes to Chris Gutzmer, the one-man-operation who runs that site. He's a great guy and a family man and he's never insisted that I sell my models exclusively through his shop. He's a real class act and a good businessman. If you buy from one of the OneBookShelf sites, they take a much bigger share of the profits. They're a fairly big operation with thousands of products for sale, and they charge extra for the privilege of a non-exclusive contract. I wasn't going to sell through OneBookShelf at all, but I had gotten some emails from customers in countries that aren't served by PayPal and so couldn't purchase through Ecardmodels. By all means, shop wherever you like, but it does make a difference to me. |

The fact that at present I can still get to ecardmodels at work (where I, er, do most of my printing) while I can't get to rpgnow or any of the other onebookshelf sites is reason enough for me to stick with them lol....plus now I have another reason too |
