Unfoldable/Refoldable Paper Terrain
« on: 22 September 2022, 18:00:42 »
Good evening, all,

I'm looking for some papercraft terrain that isn't glued, but can be laminated and then folded and unfolded, as part of my "travel kit", to make terrain when travelling and then fold it back up in a small case when completed. I've Googled and looked through the files section here, but can only find papercraft which can be glued.

Help me, Obi-Wan Forum - you're my only hope!

The upcoming Alpha Strike box kit has something like 15 card stock foldable buildings.

you can probably get away with printing on some cardstock and two sided tape.

This company has several sets designed to fold away, and when you get a pack there are lots of different design options. Pretty sure they are also sold on DrivethruRPG.

I glued small steel tabs and rare earth magnets to my dropzone commander buildings, so they're strong when set up but also break down to easily lie flat.

+1 for the Dropzone Commander buildings. Put them together with two flaps inside & one out, and they'll hold shape and hold the weight of metal 'Mech minis on top. And then fold up.

Got a link to a site for those dropzone commander buildings?

While 15mm scale, they look just fine with BT minis. This game used most of 2 sets:

Free, scalable, hex-ready, decent looking. Also doable as fixed ones.
