   Paper Models for War Gaming and wargamers
 
Oswald Boelcke

War Games
 Fiddlers Green models are a real blast in war gaming because they're so inexpensive and versatile. War gamers will build two models of the same building and literally burn one halfway to oblivion and then enhancing the rubble with grayed cotton 'smoke' and burned match stick bits. Lastly they'll take the other model and slide it over the wasted one. Stretch your modeling budget by two and cut these little targets in half and paste them against a diorama background.

Good news for wargamers!!
Fiddlers Green HO scale models can be enlarged at the printer to 1:64!!

Thanks Dale, for sending it in. We look forward to more

Dale's Diorama
Building models come in model railroad layout scales of HO, N, & Z. Great for making villiages and towns, and for wargaming.

Cannot remember exactly how I came across your site now, except that it was whilst browsing for something or other on the net and following potentially interesting links.

When I saw the quality of your buildings, I knew this was THE answer for our wargames club. We had been pondering over the way to build up a good looking but reasonably cheap set (or should I say sets) of scenery.

I had personnally dabbled considerably in the past with the "Bilteezi's", "Superquick's" and others and found great pleasure, good results and low cost in the process. However, most of these makes are either defunct or rare, and not always adapted to wargame use since they are primarily aimed at the English model railroad market. Hence I knew I was on to the right track when I saw the array of architecture that you propose - basically from ancient dwellings through medieval times, Napoleonics and American Civil War to World War II.

I talked to the other guys and the response was immediate : buy the CD, which the President duly did a little while back. (Pierre, 02/'29/02)

I build mostly in H.O. as that comes close to matching the TSR "D & D" and Games Workshop "WARHAMMER" buildings that I've already built! Thanks Wayne A. Rolfe /P.S. I'm having a ball building your other great buildings! LOL
Howdy! Been a while but I'm still gaming away with your buildings (HO reduced to about 1:100 scale). I can't remember if this idea is already in your tip chest, but I tried printing the building sheets onto big seamless label paper sheets, peeling the whole thing off, and sticking it to some thin cardboard. I use an Exacto to separate all the walls, a copious amount of white glue and voila: a SOLID structure that will stand up to handling. Add interior walls to suit, and leave the roof loose, and you can even stick figures inside.

For the destroyed shell, I duplicate the whole process but cut it up and fill the interior with rubbly bits (gravel, cork, bits of cardboard and the bits I sliced off, etc.), cut the windows out, and it looks GREAT. Dale Mancini 3/01
