Hey, all. I've spent the last two years compiling a lot of crap for the purpose of introducing my eleven-year-old daughter to D&D. To that end, I've acquired several hundred miniatures and taught myself to paint. I've bought a lot of dungeons off Kickstarter. I also spend a few months casting and painting Hirst Arts molds, but that ultimately proved to be too much work. So, yesterday, I bought an inkjet printer and a color cartridge and I plan to try my hand at printing off 3D paper terrain including castles, dungeons, towers, and ruins that she can explore. This seems like a much cheaper, less time-consuming path forward, so I'll likely be asking a lot of questions to get better at my craft. I'm still in the process of painting my Zombicide: Black Plague figures that I'll also use as D&D minis. Expect me to ask questions here from time to time. Thanks in advance. Attachments:

Well, their website seems to be undergoing maintenance at present, so I can't check my library, but I bought one of their big holiday packages that involved a huge castle, probably not the first one I should try. I recently bought a series of individual ruins, as well. Each one is a single building. www.davesgames.net/catalog-ruins-both.htmNot sure, but some of them might be in there. I basically wanted the remains of a town to explore. I'll post later what I've got once their site comes back online.

Thanks. Those tips are helpful. Are you suggesting there's a problem with cardstock? I thought it would be the preferred method since it would make the models sturdier. Does it also make them more difficult to fold and work with or something?

Hey, I bought a bunch of Dave Graffam models off www.drivethrurpg.com and last night I bought an inkjet printer and color cartridge from Best Buy. I'm hoping to use it to print out buildings, castles, etc. to supplement starting my 11-year-old daughter on D&D. Is there a newbie thread that walks through all the need-to-know stuff for first-timers? Some things I'd like to know are: These models are intended for printing on cardstock, aren't they? I read something about people printing them on paper and then gluing them to something. Surely, that's not necessary, is it? If they are for card stock, is there a favored kind or will anything that says card stock work? Tips for storage or mounting? Do you adhere buildings to a base or simply set them down on whatever table/game mat you're using? Anything else I should know? Thanks.
