I'm running a $1 sale on all of my PDF model kits until the end of January (at least). Stock up!
http://www.wargamevault.com/browse.php?manufacturers_id=2985

...and I will be buying quite a few more when I get home today then!

I've been wanting to buy one of the gate sets, and maybe a tavern, and maybe the asylum, and an apothecary, and the brewery, and the inn...

I gotta say that these are some of my favorite buildings, and the coolest part are all the layers you can fiddle around with. I've printed four or five of the same building designs with different wall and roof textures, and they all end up looking distinct and different from each other.

Highly recommended, you can make a complete, terrain-dense, good-looking mordheim table with these for $5-8 spent and a day or so of gluing it all together.

Love your stuff sir, will be making a few purchases shortly.

Some really nice models there - I am especially fond of the Gate buildings.

I have one built over a World Works canal as a watergate.

Some very nice use of layers - the same basic building can be used several times.

I have been using your buildings from back when you did them for Warhammer, back in the day.

And Rake's Corner screams 'Mordheim' to me.

The Auld Grump

I have most all of the PDFs from various bundle purchases - I can't recommend them enough.

Too good to pass up. It's like adding a new table for 20-30 bucks.

Amazing stuff. I've never seen your products before.

I want to buy one of each. Do the bundles contain duplicates?

So these look amazing, but I have a few questions.

1. What kind of card stock are people printing these on?

2. How good of a printer is preferred? Is there any particular spec I should be looking for?

I see a ton of potential, especially for Mordheim.

Sold!

Those are some awesome looking models, I'll have fun with those for Warhammer battles, or just to have them built and put on display.

I got some of the sci-fi bunkers and towers, which are great.

I had some trouble keeping them glued together, so I grabbed the 'how-to' book in the same range as the building.
So, even if you don't want the fantasy/historical kits, dig through as there are a lot of other models in there, too.

I'm building one of the gate models that I printed on my old canon mp560, and the quality is good. I've printed stuff on my crummy b&w laser printer at work on and the detail is still nice and crisp (albeit in gray instead of lovely colors).

I print my stuff on whatever leftover cardstock my wife has from her Etsy shop, so I've used textured paper, heavy paper, flimsy paper, colored paper... just about everything works. I prefer thicker paper for taller models, but I'm certainly no expert at putting this stuff together.

I bought six more buildings last night, and will probably buy a few more today. With the weather finally remembering that it's supposed to be winter time her in Southern California (take that 80+ degree weather for the last month or so!), I'm going to print a bunch of buildings and have the kids help me assemble a new city to fight over.

Dave's stuff is amazing. I usually have it printed at Staples (Canada is #1!) on heavy paper and it works out great.

How much does it run per model getting them done at Staples?

I've thought about it before.

Do you just bring in a PDF, have them load it up and print it? Do you have to supply your own paper?

I can't remember the last time I actually even went into a copy store. I only ask because if it saves me some ink and I can print on really heavy paper, I might give that a try myself.

That is some sweet models - just picked up 20. Going to build a nice urban table and try some SoBH.

I don't think so, but it's been so long since I put some of those bundles together that I'm not sure. If there is any overlap, it's only a couple of models. I sort of doubt it. What you can't do is get a complete set by just picking up bundles. There are some kits that are not in any bundle.

1. I recommend 110lb.(299gsm) cardstock, which is about the heaviest stuff that will run through most printers. But you can use lighter-weight paper (such as 80lb.) without too much problem.

2. I recommend printing on a color laser copier for the best image quality, and maybe spraying with a matt finish if the prints are too glossy. You'll find color laser copiers at any walk-in print shop.

Also if you mount them on a decent base with a lip to it, you can add flock and lichen etc to give it some added 3d pop and more realism on the table.

I'm going to let this sale run through the end of this weekend and then put everything back to normal. Except the bundles -- I may leave those at the $1-per-kit price for a few days.

Damn. Payday is Wednesday!!!

I spent about 10 bucks to get 4-5 models printed (20~25 pages) on heavy paper there. I submit my stuff online through their website.

I just got through with my spending spree.

There are quite a few duplicates in the bundles, the Rakes stuff most notably. If anyone is looking to do their collection that way, be aware. I ended up buying a few bundles and then getting the rest as individuals. Total cost was around $121 for everything, excluding the space battle mats (don't need those) and the datafax printout page.

I could not view the layers in Sumatra PDF or Adobe Acrobat XI reader. Foxit reader did work however.

Very amazing product, and I am quite pleased with them so far. I can't wait to get these all printed out. My kids will have a blast with them, and the best part is if they get ruined, who cares, just print some more.

Good lord! I wouldn't have even guessed there was 121 different models to choose from.

During the last $1 sale I spent like, 7 dollars and got enough for a decent sized town with some amenities.

I just dropped 10 bucks and bought most of a village! Pretty pleased. My collection is starting to become unmanageable, I'll need to devote a good week to building these.

Guess I'll wait until vacation time comes available, haha!

Is there a possibility this would last 1 more day? Just contacted my club about it.

Just wanted to share a bit with you guys. I just bought about five bucks worth of buildings and I have to say that I am incredibly pleased with my purhcase in both transaction, surprises and the quality of the buildings.

The buildings aren't terribly hard to make and making them on the cardstock is exactly what you want to do. I was pleasently surprised to see that they had a bundle for $1 too, so I got like, four buildings for 1 buck, and then if you buy the village chapel it gives you both a medieval one and a wooden frontier design. They are incredibly well designed and they look great on a table.

if this is still going on GET THEM ALL.

The bundles are still at the $1-per-model price, but the main sale ended earlier today.
