Rangers of Shadow Deep - Ninjilly's DayKnight 30 Day Project

This is the week that is going to involve some cash but I still want to keep it cheap. Papercraft buildings seemed like an easy way to go but they vary in quality dramatically. Rather than spend hours and hours searching through options, I gave myself 90 minutes to find something I liked enough that had some free options to trial before laying down some money. I found a couple of sites that I’ll come back to when I have more ready cash in the future but I’ve gone for Dave Graffam Models which had two free options I liked to get started.

First up

The hovel. Simple one sheet design, no layers or anything crazy but a good starting point. I printed it out at highest quality and stuck it onto some scrap card that I’ve been saving for the last couple of weeks with this project in mind

Tools are straight forward enough – Pritt stick to back onto the card, steel ruler, hobby knife with a fresh blade on it, superglue for gluing the building together and a black Sharpie to edge to cover the card. Ideally you’d print it out on cardstock and skip the card backing step but I’m working with what I have.

Easy and quick, a bit small but a good start. On to the next building…

Yuuuuuuup, the Pump House. First expense of the project, this one set me back $0.95 and I bought it pretty much because it has pump in the title and I’m a child!

To serve me right, I’m not actually a fan of it built. It is tiny. The file comes with different layers so I might go back and reprint it with a thatch roof or something to make it look a bit better but next it is time to move on to bigger buildings…

Project Costs:

Pumphouse 0.95

Total $0.95

Budget remaining: $19.05
