Title: Card buildings for VBCW/Sealion
Post by: GrumpyOldMan on 12 July 2012, 12:59:52 AM
Hi

I seem to be posting a lot lately  :-\, maybe too much time on my hands  :D.

I came across a website that has the sheets for the old Kellog's Paper Village issued around 1948.

I've only just downloaded them but I'll play around with scaling and see how they turn out.

Some links to pictures of some (too large to plonk into the forum)

Those look excellent for VBCW, could you post a link for downloading them when you've finished fiddling with the scale?

Good find!

On a similar note, there's a Lone Ranger frontier town available at http://www.thrillingdays.com/frontier-town/buildings.html (http://www.thrillingdays.com/frontier-town/buildings.html), originally from the backs of Cheerios boxes.

Anyone interested in card buildings should also look at http://www.ss42.com/pt-buildings.html (http://www.ss42.com/pt-buildings.html) for a selection of links.

Cheers, Martyn

GHQ and SMP both have card buildings for free - in 6mm obviously.

The buildings here are German but some might prove useful.

But if you are looking for something more British than a rain soaked Olympics try
