To show Dave how much we appreciate his models and contributions to the hobby, I thought we ought to do a gallery to show off the models that we have purchased and built.

OMG. I must have 1000 photos of Dave 's models. I think I'll contribute just a few as we go along. First, I must say why I love these models: The have an elegant simplicity that makes them perfect for modding, while having a no-compromise quality of premium textures. This is why SO MANY of my fold-flat/interior modifications are of Dave Graffam models. So, I'll start with one of my most recent builds/mods - I take a 7-piece model and trick it out to be a showpiece using only DGM textures: Saltbox House #1Here's what it all looks like in the box, with the exception of the chimney, everything is 100% fold-flat and assembles with slot-tabs (friction fit or gravity fit):  Kitbash: Saltbox House 1 Multi Story Fold Flat with Interior by Oracle Omega, on Flickr I've continued to fiddle with using sticker paper on cigar boxes - here's the outside...  Paper Boxes for Fold Flat terrain - Cigar Box Edition by Oracle Omega, on Flickr [My box collection is getting large...]  Paper Boxes for Fold Flat terrain - Cigar Box Edition by Oracle Omega, on Flickr This is the only full-model shot, as I'd like to focus on the kitbashes - I'm not taking the time to do all the background and context setting for now...  Kitbash: Saltbox House 1 Multi Story Fold Flat with Interior by Oracle Omega, on Flickr First up! Clear windows! It's great having a cutter for cutting out 100s of little chads. You can get a peek at the interior mods through them...

Second story reverse view:  Kitbash: Saltbox House 1 Multi Story Fold Flat with Interior by Oracle Omega, on Flickr Oh! Removing each floor makes it a playable "battlemat"!  Kitbash: Saltbox House 1 Multi Story Fold Flat with Interior by Oracle Omega, on Flickr Removing the 2nd story floor reveals the main floor rooms:  Kitbash: Saltbox House 1 Multi Story Fold Flat with Interior by Oracle Omega, on Flickr View from the other side:  Kitbash: Saltbox House 1 Multi Story Fold Flat with Interior by Oracle Omega, on Flickr Though I am showing my finished model, I went through several steps to get there. For example, all the fold-flat conversion on the original kit was done with plain paper cutouts...  Kitbash: Saltbox House 1 Multi Story Fold Flat with Interior by Oracle Omega, on Flickr  Kitbash: Saltbox House 1 Multi Story Fold Flat with Interior by Oracle Omega, on Flickr I then built the interior wall and floor mods and literally added them to the existing pieces...  Kitbash: Saltbox House 1 Multi Story Fold Flat with Interior by Oracle Omega, on Flickr Then, one at a time built out full-color versions of the walls and floors (this was before cutting out any windows)... This incremental approach was great, as I could contentiously replace the lower-fidelity components with newer ones and work out any problems as I went. Notice in this shot, the windows are still printed...  Kitbash: Saltbox House 1 Multi Story Fold Flat with Interior by Oracle Omega, on Flickr Finally I made a 3rd version of the walls (shown in most of the photos), with the panels cut out, and wall size sheets of acetate glued between the interior and anterior walls. This made the sides very strong and resistant to warping.  Kitbash: Saltbox House 1 Multi Story Fold Flat with Interior by Oracle Omega, on Flickr "Thanks for visiting!"  Kitbash: Saltbox House 1 Multi Story Fold Flat with Interior by Oracle Omega, on Flickr This is what Dave inspires in me. His models are so evocative, I can't help but want to take them to the next level. |

 So far all I've done of Dave's is the Marauder, but after all the models I bought the other day I've got a lot more to do! |

Great idea. I posted some a year or so ago, not really updated it and it's probably dropped so far down it'll be easier to repost them.     More of New Elysium hereNot had chance to play in a very long time, but we wouldn't have had anywhere near the gaming experience but for Dave. Mike |

Ah, thanks for the return welcome VK. Nice to be missed. I have missed this place too. I don't want to derail this wonderful thread, so I will just say current circumstances can best be described as turbulent and uncertain and leave it at that. I do intend to make a more concerted return once I have regained stability.
I need to reclaim the town from my former home, and give it the love it's been bereft of in the last year. I have at least a dozen of Dave's models still to assemble, plus a few kitbashes, and I am eager to expand its scope and interactivity.
Mike

If you need more of them, during the Halloween Sale, many of them are $.66, $.69, or $1
Take care of yourself
