When our printer needed more ink back in July, we looked at the cost of replacing ink, and the cost of buying a new printer with ink. We finally took the plunge, spent a bit more, and upgraded to an ink tank printer.
Not being so concerned about saving precious ink, I printed some things from a few papercraft sites.
I started with the sample saloon from Hotz ArtWorks. It looked too small against the Reaper and Knight Model figures so I didn’t assemble it. I have since gotten some Dracula’s America figures that seem closer in scale so I probably will put it together.
Disney Parks Blog had just come out with Paper Disney Parks. They have four so far in the series. The first two were both for Main Street and the Magic Happens parade, the third was for Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, and the fourth was for King Arthur’s Carrousel.
I printed off all of them at 25% to save space once done and have finished the first set.
They haven’t printed any more in the series yet, so looking for a Haunted Mansion led me back to Haunted Dimensions. They have papercraft for three versions of the Haunted Mansions from the different parks.
They also have the houses from Amityville Horror, Psycho, and Adams Family as well as facades from the movie theatre from The Blob and some others. I have printed off the three houses and the movie façade and am mostly finished the Amityville house.
For more hyper detailed versions of papercraft about the Disneyland signs, train station, and castles there is also The Disney Experience. I haven’t started on any of these yet as I am not sure if they will be too large once finished as well as too complex if shrunk.
Some of the buildings will be used to fill up a table for wargaming, and some will be used for our Halloween display table in our new spare bedroom.
