Westcrown (well, sort of) in papercraft

I finally assembled enough tiles and buildings to finish a simple layout of 6x6 6" tiles.
I used WorldWorks Games TLX - Streets of Himmelveil set for the basic tiles and a number of David Graffam's buildings to get a nice pseudo-medieval feeling.

As the buldings are glued to the same tiles of the TLX set (in 3"x3", 3x6" and 6"x6" sizes) the overall modularity of the TLX system is not gone, and what is shown in the pictures is just one of many possible layouts.

Regarding the photos, blame my lousy skills, they don't really look as good as the thing is "in real life". ;-P
I think that it could work quite well also for a city like Korvosa (to be honest I intended it for a homebrewed taldan city of my own devising).

Well, enough ranting, here's the photos!

Next, I intend to do another 6x6 6" layout, this time with some unique buildings (the imposing west gate house, a tudor-style house, the cottage, and an asylum based structure), less streets and more canals (from the WorldWorks Games TLX - Himmelveil Canals set), and maybe a small port area.
Also, some papercrafted figures, such as Nwah's Hellknights, props for street signs, statues, etc.

They look really really good! Nice work indeed :-)

those are beautiful. nice work. I've been playing a lot of Assassin's Creed II recently, and my urge is to just hop on top of those rooftops :-)

+5 to awesome! Scenery is not just for tabletop wargames. :)

Looks grand! I'd love to do something like that except wildernessy for Kingmaker.

Thanks everyone. I'd really have to put some ranks into Profession: Photographer, though. :-D

I hope to build the second 6x6 layout quicker, as I finally streamlined the tiling process and found the best glue to use. Also, there're some really nice buildings that I'd really like to see used.

Dude, those look great. :)

wow...

[golem101]

Once again, thanks.

I'm currently experimenting with the medieval walls set (by David Graffam), and while a bit time-consuming both in planning and assembly, the mix-and-match nature of the elements coupled with the layered textures options, seem to bode well for some great layouts.

I've just started a corner section with two walls and a tower, and I'm already dreaming of a complete modular walled compound!

Hope to have soonish enough stuff done to take some more pictures.

Great! I like GMs (and players) that like to play *bigger than life*... ;)
