The only way to learn is to get after it and practice.<br />I will definitely make sure to re-read all your building posts.<br />I will never be going for your incredible level of detail, but I would like to have some sturdy long lasting buildings.<br />Thanks again!LTL Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537374001638001721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-30246767766242165532009-12-03T16:43:37.015+00:002009-12-03T16:43:37.015+00:00@Neil.

I'm more likely to read your comments here than on Facebook but I do go on FB about once a day or every other day, whereas I usually check my blog for comments about two or three times per day.<br /><br />@Willy. Check out my review of my WWG warehouse for how I handled my biggest building so far, at least in terms of width and length. With regards to the corners of my buildings there is a knack to it and again, it is explained in at least one previous post. <br />Just to recap, if making a square room two opposing walls will have the mounting board cut to the exact width of the exterior wall pieces. The other two walls will have the mounting board reduced in length by about 2mm (the thickness of the card) on either side. However, the photopaper with the exterior walls printed on them will not be reduced in length. This means that they will overlap the mounting board ever so slightly to form a seamless join at the corners. The interior walls need to be reduced in size by about 2mm on each end in order to fit snugly inside. 2mm is an approximate estimate of the thickness of the card. You'll need to measure your own artboard to get an exact measurement. I hope that makes sense to you.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-14365824244831239722009-12-03T14:50:28.515+00:002009-12-03T14:50:28.515+00:00Another question!

Is it strictly edged or do you actually cap them?<br />Thanks,<br />WillyLTL Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537374001638001721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-63916583767259798582009-12-03T11:10:13.327+00:002009-12-03T11:10:13.327+00:00Hey Vamp, Excellent as always, would have responde...Hey Vamp, Excellent as always, would have responded on Facebook but I just don't use it even though you are added as a friend :)<br /><br />Still checking out every one of your posts. Will be starting some buildings soon, have found some free ones too. Have started painting the odd miniature.<br /><br />Keep up the good work!<br /><br />Neilcarabushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02941670282638043826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-69978042223871707052009-12-03T10:48:19.852+00:002009-12-03T10:48:19.852+00:00Thanks Vamp.

I thought I had read about this in your reports but I was too pressed to re-read them all last night. 2mm would make them about .080"<br />I think I will follow your lead. So far I have just slammed some stuff out to game but I am about to start a warehouse and then a hospital. These will be much bigger buildings with more time investment and I want them to last. It is very humid where, commonly over 80% and I am very worried about warpage.<br />I was thinking to kitbash the hospital from the WWG police station as a basis. <br />Don't worry, before I start these I will re-read every post on your site!<br />ThanksLTL Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537374001638001721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-63108771950501757072009-12-03T10:34:21.209+00:002009-12-03T10:34:21.209+00:00Thanks, Veloci. Your question has been answered ma...Thanks, Veloci. Your question has been answered many times in previous reviews of my WWG buildings. Of course newcomers like yourself probably haven't read them all, so for the benefit of you and other newcomers all of my buildings are printed onto 130gm matte photopaper. Once cut out I stick the pieces to thick mounting board, which I believe is called artboard in America. It is about 2mm thick and makes the buildings incredibly strong and durable. It does mean that the building time is increased quite a bit but the results are more than worth it. Just about everything you see in the above building was glued to mounting board. The exceptions being the doors, which are glued to thin card, like that found on cereal boxes. The posters were not reinforced at all. I hope that helps.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-75123674907701464052009-12-02T23:56:14.961+00:002009-12-02T23:56:14.961+00:00Well what can I say!

I'd love to try to get his kind of quality but there's two things standing in the my way:<br />1. Time. With gaming several different games with the kids I have to scrounge for build time.<br />2. Talent. I just don't have it!<br /><br />I have a question! I can't quite tell from the pictures. What is the wall thickness of your buildings? Is it just cardstock or do you have a filler? They always look so freakin good.LTL Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537374001638001721noreply@blogger.com
