Free Textures For Paper Buildings
Modeling, Paper Figs Terrain
CG Textures has a terrific collection of textures you can download and use to design your own paper buildings. There area bricks, doors, windows and more. I’m going to use them to create some photorealistic 15mm buildings for an upcoming zombie game.

Making Company Movement Trays For War of the Ring
Modeling
