In this thread I'd like to feature some examples of camps, edifices or any other DBA buildings that are not painted, but printed. And are made in less than 30 minutes.  |

Looks great! What printer are you using? Jim My printer is a Kyocera ecosys 5521cdn laser printer. In first tests I found out that it is necessary to use some water based glue for best results.  Otherwise you might find the printed colours soon on your fingertips.  |

'Brian Boru' the "A Samarkand Edifice, BUA or Camp" is stunning its beautiful.... it could even pass for a Muslim stronghold (representation) in El Andalus (Granada comes to mind as I have been there but there are others of beauty too like Cordoba and Sevilla).
Did you manage such detail on a home printer or need something a bit clever for such fine and intricate patterns?
You should start selling these, they are great.

You hit the nail on the head, because I was cheating a bit: the floor tiles are spanish or portugese... I fear selling is not an option, it is too easy to find such pictures in the www, even of good quality. The only thing I changed was this: I found out that a simple print on paper looks somewhat dull, so I changed the contrast and colour balance of every picture, so that they became more brilliant. Maybe the next step should be to use special paper... Brian |

A Minecraft Stronghold (HoTT in 28mm) ![]()  Paper on styrofoam. Too bad: the base warped too much.

A Minecraft HOTT army... well I never (thought of that one!) ... brill figures... reminds me of Lego for some unknown reason...
well done 'Brian Boru'
How does a male from Wurzburg come to choose an Irish High King name for his 'nom de plume'? (Rhetoric question... not expecting an answer!)
CarlL thinking cool choice

CarlL thinking cool choice Well, Haardrada wasn't available any more...  ... and Brian Ború's army of Norse Irish was the other of my two first DBA armies. And he's such a fascinating personality, the only Irish High King–and much more successful in his battles with the vikings than me.  (By the way: I love the novels of Patrick O' Brian very much) And my first name would only be more or less a kind of tongue twister to most fanatici.(So I use it only in PM.) |

Salutations, gentlefolk ! There are seven photos of a model Roman villa here drive.google.com/drive/folders/12pw23u50NK-kJWJoZd_gyJOTPSkA8Nhi?usp=sharing ( How well does this method of uploading pictures work ? Do in future, or scrap idea ? ) I purchased the file 'Roman villa (rb024) rb024.zip' from Wargame Vault a while ago. I can still download copies from the 'my library' page, but going to the 'product' page gets 'This title is not available', and going to 'Wargame Print', the publisher, yields no results. The file lists 'http://wars175x.narod.ru/wargameprint (c) luterm', which website has some interesting 18th century military history, but the 'wargameprint' links seem to be all '404' Anyway, printed the file on 65-pound cardstock, painted the back side with tan acrylic,and assembled it, braceing the corners with scrap wood. This is nearly completed, still needs some flocking on the base and a coat of spray clear. Hypothesized that 'twas built on the Empire's north-western frontiers, where you'd want to get max sunshine in the courtyard, would be oriented differently in the desert regions ... Sorry for showing off a reification of an unattainable plan, hope you like this project, regardless. |

I’ve had this ‘problem’ myself, recently. Even though they seem to be the same trader, Wargame Vault and Drivethru RPG don’t interconnect, so a search on one won’t locate a product on another. I found that ‘my library’ seems to contain items purchased from both, but that’s the only interconnection. The Roman Buildings seem to be available via Drivethru RPG - here’s one of the listings (there are more…):- www.drivethrurpg.com/product/20312/Roman-Building-Set-2?term=Roman+villaI think your pictures are accessible, but I’m ‘out in the wilds’ on dodgy wifi, so it’s proving slow (and probably unrepresentative of the ‘actual’ accessibility). |
