 This is 30mm-scale terrain for wargaming, roleplaying games, miniature dioramas, skirmish games, model railroads, class projects or just for fun. Assembly is quick and easy, requiring only some sheets of cardstock, a sharp hobby knife and ordinary paper glue. This Medieval Walls Set is a modular kit, giving you lots of pieces and parts that you can use in various ways to design your own medieval walls layout. This set's walls and watch towers can be used to surround a town or village, noble estates, parks, cemeteries, courtyards, prisons, sanitariums, military garrisons, or to separate the districts in a medieval city. There are countless ways to put these components together, and you'll certainly come up with interesting combinations never anticipated by the original design. And you can easily combine these pieces with other papercraft models. Each piece of this set is easy to assemble on its own, and the real artistry is how you start combining them. Detailed assembly instructions are provided, including tips and advice for printing at various popular gaming and model railroad scales. One of the great things about papercraft models is that they can be printed at any popular gaming scale quite easily, so this model can be used for 28mm, 25mm, 20mm, 15mm scale and smaller. These files are 200dpi, which will look great when printed at full size without requiring large file sizes. You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 or later in order to use them, and the multiple layers may take additional time to render, so please be patient while your images load onto the screen. MULTI-LAYERED FILES: The PDFs included in this modular model set are multi-layered and contain a variety of surface textures and external features that you can customize with the click of your mouse. All of the walls feature four distinct base textures: wood, red stone, gray stone and bricks. There are also several layers of weathering and additional details, including doors, windows, lamps, ivy and more. DIMENSIONS: The walls in this set are 3.5" tall and 1/4" thick, and are supplied in widths from 1" to 6" and every half-inch in between. The shorter of the two watch tower variants is approximately 6.4" tall, and the taller of the watch towers stands approximately 8.75" tall. Each watch tower has a footprint of approximately 2" x 2". Bear in mind that the components in this set allow for a sprawling layout without any limits. CONTENTS: This set includes 13 pages of components, including everything needed to construct the watch towers, walls, roofs, dormers, buttresses, columns, pillars, angled struts, walkways, two types of railings, gate doors, ladders and more. Be sure to visit DavesGames.Net to see my entire collection of papercraft models and upcoming releases.

Just bought and downloaded.
Still haven't printed anything, but I have played around a bit with the layers, options, etc.
Probably one of the best sets you've released, the excellent layers selection and the various options fit really well with previous buildings.
Buttresses and columns are the first elements that come to my (devious) mind, but just adding a free-standing wall section here and there next to a building would work wonders in a layout.

Just bought and downloaded. Thank you!

I was hoping that the bits and parts would find their way onto other models.

Just bought and downloaded. Hmm....don't see them listed at ecardmodels yet. Am I missing something or are they just a little behind the curve? Not that I'm likely to necessarily build anything before Christmas *anyway* but that's not the point lol.

No, they haven't been listed at Ecardmodels yet. Normally, I wait until Chris has a chance to upload new models to his site before I list them on Wargame Vault & co., but these walls were by special request, and it took me about a week longer to prepare them than I had hoped. I wanted to make sure that the person who requested them could get them as soon as possible.
But please shop wherever you like! I'm very happy with the sales from both shops this month. When the walls set is available at Ecardmodels, I'll change the link on my site's front page so that it points there, but you'll still be able to quickly reach both shops by going to my catalog page.

Fair enough  I'll either get them when they show up at ecardmodels (can't get to wargamevault/rpgnow from work) or grab them at home and send them to myself (I print them on the colour laser at work lol).

This is a beautiful piece, Dave. It fills an important lacuna in the market for the smaller walled town, as apposed to the large city or castle. And Your textures are gorgeous, as always. Congrats.
Cheers,

 Very refreshing. I finally got some time to start work on building this set and I love all the wall and weathering options. It goes together very cleanly and easily and the hollow walls are just big enough for me to insert foamcore so it's quite sturdy too.

I was waiting for someone to ask that. Thanks, Afet. Looks cool, but the 3D wheels...  I think I'll just stick with the traditional 2.5D round flat cutouts.

I am charmed with the style of your designs. It is like to see an old medieval movie. I love it!
