Normandy Residential Buildings
Paper Scenery for Gear Krieg
By Paul Lesack
One of the simplest sets to assemble, these buildings are common detached dwellings found all over France and Western Europe. They can be assembled and laid out a variety of ways to produce several urban settings. These buildings will beautify your battlefield with a minimum of fuss. They're easy to put together, if you follow some simple steps.
If you don't want the little question mark icon and copyright icons to print, uncheck the "Annotations" box. They don't cover the models, so this step is optional.
Most of these buildings are simply boxes. Simply glue all the tabs to their corresponding sides, and you're done. It's easier than wrapping a present.
Scoring the edges may result in crisper edges, but more unsightly white lines. You'll reduce the strength of the model, too. With care, you can produce a crisp fold without scoring, and your models will look better for it.
These models look great when printed out onto cardstock. However, if you're looking to make a Stalingrad-style cityscape, it will take lots of time and lots of ink to print out enough. The easy solution is to print out one copy on high quality paper. Color photocopy as many as you need. Remember that most photocopiers use 11" x 17" paper, so you can copy two sheets for the price of one. Use 3M spray glue (Photomount or Super77) to stick the paper onto cardstock, and assemble as normal.
As a bonus, the copied buildings are water resistant, unlike most color printer inks.
If you're bothered by white edges, you can touch them up with paint. If you have lots of buildings, this can be fairly time-consuming. A quicker solution is to color the edges with pastels.
