I actually did a deal with the Fort Laramie Historical Society to do a model of their historic fort. If I could get the Alamo people interested... Have to give that some thought... </p> http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/topic/buildings-wish-list#post-54 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 00:44:24 +0000 sharps54 54@http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for the response! I would buy at least 2 (one for me and one for dad) but I don't have any way to gauge potential sales. I saw a few others (not paper) at Historicon for reasonable prices (under $100) in small scales so depending on development costs it may not be worth it. I guess it depends if you can get the Alamo to sell them on site or not! </p> http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/topic/buildings-wish-list#post-53 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 00:00:29 +0000 scottwashburn 53@http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/ <p>crazycaptain56: The 6mm European Village Pack would probably do for what you want. It's not exactly the right style but in 6mm, few people are going to notice.</p> <p>Sharps54: The Alamo, huh? I've thought about it from time to time. Not sure there would be a big enough market for it to justify the time and effort. But I'll keep thinking :) </p> http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/topic/buildings-wish-list#post-52 Mon, 12 Jul 2010 05:48:01 +0000 sharps54 52@http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/ <p>The Alamo! </p> http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/topic/buildings-wish-list#post-51 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 12:00:38 +0000 crazycaptain56 51@http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/ <p>I would also love to see 6mm Modern American suburbs and such. For russian or chinese invasions of the U.S. I can't find any anywhere and its rather frustrating considering I want to game an invasion of the U.S. </p> http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/topic/inner-dimensions-of-your-landing-craft#post-50 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 23:02:21 +0000 Gunny Highway 50@http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/ <p>Scott, </p> <p> Although I sent you a PM I thought your forum members may also be interested in the inner dimensions of you landing craft. I am doing the pacific and need to base my infantry while waiting for my order from you. I am doing 20mm specifically, and ordered the LCVP and the LCVM. Thanx for your help!</p> <p> Gunny </p> http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/topic/store-problem-12-27-09#post-49 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 01:18:44 +0000 scottwashburn 49@http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/ <p>Well, they fixed it fast! </p> http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/topic/store-problem-12-27-09#post-48 Sun, 27 Dec 2009 16:08:41 +0000 scottwashburn 48@http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/ <p>Well, this is new, but it's not good! The on-line store is having some problems with items that come in multiple scales. No matter which scale you choose, it adds the 10/12mm scale version to your shopping cart. I've put in a service request to the tech people, but this being Sunday (after a holiday, no less) it might take a while to get it fixed. Hopefully not too long! I don't think this will have an effect on any of the 6mm micro-scale products. Sorry for any inconvenience!</p> <p>Scott </p> http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/topic/buildings-wish-list#post-47 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 15:25:07 +0000 scottwashburn 47@http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/ <p>Some slightly more modern bridges are in the works and ought to be available in the next few weeks. The German buildings are a bit farther down the road, but will come along eventually :) </p> http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/topic/buildings-wish-list#post-46 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 11:55:35 +0000 WHM 46@http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/ <p>Thought buildings that are German would be nice. There are those who play NATO vs WARPAC and the French looking buildings do not look quite right. Also bridges other then arched stone ones to go along with a more modern 20th century. </p> http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/topic/questions-about-chacking-out#post-45 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 11:51:27 +0000 WHM 45@http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/ <p>That worked, simple me ;&gt; </p> http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/topic/questions-about-chacking-out#post-44 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 22:50:49 +0000 scottwashburn 44@http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/ <p>WHM,</p> <p>I've never actually tried checking out with AMEX, but I believe that if you go through the Pay Pal option, (you don't have to be a Pay Pal member to do this) you can use a credit card. Your credit card company pays Pay Pal and Pay Pal pays me. Or at least that's the way it is supposed to work. Give it a try. If it doesn't work, contact me and we'll work something out.</p> <p>Sorry about the forum, but the old one was overwhelmed by spambots and rendered inoperable. This one is supposedly spambot proof, although with fewer features. </p> http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/topic/questions-about-chacking-out#post-43 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 15:39:49 +0000 WHM 43@http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/ <p>I see you've finally been able to put out the 6mm European Town pack. When I tried to purchase using AMEX there is no radio button to choose that option. I end up going to PayPal, but I don't want PayPal so I backed out. So how does purchasing w/AMEX work?</p> <p>Also, not to crazy about the new forum layout. I was previously signed on ot before but this new one didn't know me so had to do it all over again.</p> <p>OK, guess that is enough complaining.</p> <p>Regards;<br /> WHM </p> http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/topic/new-bridges-coming-along#post-42 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 22:47:13 +0000 scottwashburn 42@http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/ <p>I'm working on a new set of 'modular' bridges that will allow you to make bridges that are longer than what I currently have available and that can either be the standard 'up-and-over' bridge (that is, you start at table-level and then go up and over the river and then back down to table level) or that can be a more realistic bridge where the road bed stays flat and the bridge supports drop down to the river below. I'm currently building the prototypes and they are looking good. I plan to have them in gray or brown stone or in concrete. They will be available in all my standard scales. I hope to have them available in 2-3 weeks. </p> http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/topic/tips-on-assembling-my-first-pt-model#post-41 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:08:57 +0000 scottwashburn 41@http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/ <p>Either one should work. I think I use the 3/16" for both buildings and garden walls, but it's really a matter of personal taste. </p> http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/topic/20mm-mid-east#post-40 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:51:24 +0000 RKE Steve 40@http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/ <p>Yeah as you can see it took me a few trys, it is a little different than most other forums.

When dry, trim off the excess and cut out the doors and windows. THEN cut out the other side of the (ruin) wall and glue it to the foamcore. This allows you to cover up any cutting mistakes. Don't glue the unruined walls to foamcore, or they will be too thick to fit down around the ruins.</p> <p>Scott </p> http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/topic/tips-on-assembling-my-first-pt-model#post-22 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:49:28 +0000 miros 22@http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/ <p>Is it better to glue both sides of a wall to foamcore and cut it all at once or to cut each side and the foamcore separately and then glue them together? </p> http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/topic/north-african-village-pack-basing#post-21 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:30:31 +0000 scottwashburn 21@http://www.paperterrain.com/forum/ <p>Larry,</p> <p>I use the 1/8" hardboard (Masonite) that you can buy at Home Depot or Lowe's to base my buildings. I group base my buildings for convenienece in transporting and displaying (I can just point to a base and tell people: "This is what comes in the set"). But what you do will depend on how you plan to use them. Of course, if you are clever, you could make individual bases that are modular so that you can fit the buildings together into larger groups :)</p> <p>Scott </p>
