Was one of my favorite sites until it was hacked. Excellent gallows and Blacksmithy. Check it out at miniature-games.com/

Thanks Vermin King I hadn't seen these before. I particularly like the look of the skull gate although wish the pics were a little larger.

Great models! The ones in the "war models" section would make excellent fortresses for Hordes of the Things.

That is cool but they DEFINITELY need to up the size on their pictures.

Awesome find, VK!
I grabbed the Warrior Marines. They will fill in nicely for my Xiarn Dynasty Warriors until I can make them up. (Sure they are doubled-sided, but I will use them as placeholders for now).

I've had some of his Fantasy Buildings for some time. The SciFi stuff is new. There was a time when he had zero instructions. He keeps stepping things up. After he was down for 6 months I was afraid he wouldn't be back.

There are no instructions at the moment. There are small pictures that show that printed instructions sheets exists, but I couldn't find any instructions on the site.

OpenDNS (which I don't use, weird...) says that the site is a phishing site (maybe it was, when it was hacked) and don't let me see the site. This at my work, in my house I reach the site but cant download the models. Anything besides the main page gives me a "404 not found error".
Any pointers? I saw the pictures (the skull gate was very good) and want to get the minis!

Seems to be an issue today. I'll try to get in touch with Johan today and see what is going on.

Hi Guys,
Dragnoz / Johan here, from miniature-games.com, Vermin King suggested I join you guys on the forum, we've been discussing my site the last few days.
Just wanted to say thanks for everyone's support and would like to try and address some of the questions and issues raised.
Phising Miniature-games was hacked a few months back an I never really bothered to bring it back online. Back end of last week I decided it was time and was promptly hacked again and turned into a phising site. This has now been resolve and I have worked with my webhost to remove the compromised items and block the holes.
404 My htaccess file was wiped so the URL rewriting was not working and for the last day people were getting 404's. This has now also been fixed.
Instructions As many have mentioned and notice I have not yet added the instructions, I need to go dig through my back-up harddrives to find them, but find them I will and get them up there for you.
Photo's Most of the photos date back to the original 2004 site and is of a terrible resolution. I've not built the models in awhile so have no updated photos, if you guys feel like submitting your own photos Ill be happy to add them to the gallery of each model's page with a credit.
New models I have done more corporate paper designs recently but want to get back to these kind of designs. I would love for you to suggest models I can create.

Hello, Dragnoz, glad you came by. One of the most amazing things you will find here is an atmosphere of encouragement. We really want everyone to be successful in what they are doing. If you get into some of the threads, you will find some really odd ideas coming out of no-where, and some of them develop into outstanding projects. Ideas that normally wouldn't be voiced.
If you are looking for ideas, this is an excellent place. Welcome.

Thanks guys ;D
I've been browsing the site and was gobsmacked by the width and breadth of the paper model scene.
When I made the first paper model (bree gate house) it was really just for the "lord of the rings" games workshop wargaming set and I ended up abandoning it due to lack of interest and support. Obviously I was not visting the right communities.
having seen what everyone else is doing, its definitely opened up my mind to a whole host of ideas and design directions.
Big surprise is the use of paper playing figures, the only reason I designed them was that I had threatening letters from Games Workshop demanding that I remove their figures from my photos. Id love to do more of them :-)
So watch the site, ill be updating and developing some more models very shortly.

I think the clean-up was done, because I could access the site and already downloaded all the models.
I'm itching to make the Warp Gate!

I was pleasantly surprised when I first discovered dragnoz's site. I had done a search for a papercraft gallows, which led me there. Then to find everything else. And I was especially pleased by the sense of humor. He had a pic of a canary sitting on the walls 'attacking' the fortress and village. The site immediately hit my list of Favorites
