Inspired by seeing Peter Cooman's paper/card boats, I thought I'd share some of the resources I've come across over the years for building models out of card. I use cereal packets for my models.
Paid for:
● Dave Graffam Models (http://www.wargamevault.com/browse/pub/2985/Dave-Graffam-Models?word_variants=1&src=browse2985) - Fantasy Medieval models, 28mm scale. Excellent models
Freebies:
● Wizards of the Coast (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/fpm/archive) - Fantasy Medieval buildings released by WotC to go with their Chainmail miniatures a few years back. 28mm scale.
● Dave's Games (http://web.archive.org/web/20090228064115/http://www.davesgames.net:80/wfrp2/) - Fantasy Medieval, 28mm scale. Before Dave Graffam went commercial, he offered these for download (toward the bottom of the page) free. Long gone, but the wayback machine is a wonderful tool . . .
● Wordsworth Model Railway (http://www.wordsworthmodelrailway.co.uk/) - Modern (i.e. 20th century on) UK buildings. 'OO' scale (1/76).
● Diorama of Pretzschendorf (https://www.grundschule-pretzschendorf.de/en/Our_village/paper_models.html) - Modern German/European buildings. I've built a couple and they look about right for 10mm.
● ペーパークラフトＮ (http://www.eonet.ne.jp/~sanda-sakamoto/open.html)(No, I don't know what it means) - Modern Japanese models. Not built (or even printed out) any of these, so have no idea about scale. The selection available for download changes regularly, so check back often.
Games Workshop used to do a 'Warhammer Townscapes' product of card buildings. I wonder if there's a PDF of that floating around the internet somewhere . . .
Inspiration:
● Matakishi's Tea House (http://www.matakishi.net/making-things.html) - Makes it look so easy (sigh). I especially like the Afghan Buildings & Compounds, Generic Modern Buildings, Entebbe and Hyboria pages.
I hope you find these useful, and please feel free to add links to any resources you know about.
Thanks, Martyn

Brumbaer's paper town - houses, church, city walls and a hexagonal castle. 10mm scale and free!
Intended for Warmaster originally, I think, but would do for Late Medieval and Renaissance.

Yep, Brumbaer is awesome but read the printing instructions carefully
Hello
Yes I'm a big believer in card buildings. The Japanese site buildings are in Japanese N Scale which is 1/150 as opposed to US/European N Scale which is 1/160 :).
Here's a collection site, just be aware that any links from the separate pages that are struck-through are usually dead links:- http://hamapaper2.zouri.jp/thumblink2/thumb00.html (http://hamapaper2.zouri.jp/thumblink2/thumb00.html)

Currently playing with Venice in 1757 which looks to be roughly 1/144 https://oonirico.com/2015/08/22/venice-in-1757-first/ (https://oonirico.com/2015/08/22/venice-in-1757-first/)

Some in there I wasn't aware of! I salute you! (and my printer cartridges curse you ;D )
Dropzone Commander (https://www.hawkwargames.com/blogs/downloads/dropzone-commander-buildings) - Modern urban buildings & roads, 10mm scale.
Can't believe I forgot these in the original post - these are brilliant.
Cheers, M.
