The Supreme Littleness Designs website is launched!

One thing that I really like on the Sarrisa buildings (and some of the ones sold by Leon)  is that they include laser cut card board parts, that add detailing, and help break up the 'flat wall of MDF' look.

It's the same board I've been using. However, since we're dealing with a smaller scale I've ordered some very thin plywood to experiment with.

Would the laser machine cut heavy paper or thin cardboard ?
You could do the detailing with this material then.

Yes, it can. All the less than 2mm parts including the roof of the model are cardboard.

Here's something that as a gamer I've been wanting for some time. I prefer to cram as many building models as possible into a village or town. I'm not a fan of mixing scales of buildings and figures but I can appreciate why other gamers do it. One alternative is small footprint buildings. I'm experimenting here with very small footprint buildings. These 10mm houses each have a footprint of only 20 x 40mm.

There is no set way of assembling the models. The walls are interchangeable – although it seems appropriate that each building has a door, a chimney and at least one window! There are two extensions with lean-to roofs that can be fixed to any blank wall and a bake-house type chimney for one of them. The three buildings should provide a good deal of variety.

You interest me strangely, Sir.

Hopefully my work rather than me personally.

Any price tag yet ?

I may be interested depending on the price.

[WeeWars]

No prices as yet. These three buildings would come as a set. I'm interested to know what forum members think would be a suitable price based on other 10mm buildings.

[Leman]

I think those buildings would be even better (and more versatile) if they came with optional shutters for the windows - thinking France, Spain, Italy and so on. I would definitely be up for that.

[WeeWars]

Shutters will be added as soon as the ultra thin plywood supplies arrive next week. 

[Leman]

Will definitely get a set then.

I think the idea of walls and outhouses that can be shuffled about to create different varieties of building is one worth exploring and possibly extending. My only reservation at the moment (as it is with all laser-cut buildings) is how they can be made to blend in with my stock of existing resin-cast buildings. I have one friend who has totally disposed of all his resin-cast stock in order to use only laser-cut items. And the reason I know is that he disposed of them to me!

I agree that blending one type with another is sometimes hard. To be honest, I find that different manufacturer's buildings even in the same material can be hard to use together. For my own 1809 project, I think I have at least three different Essling villages! I think one way of using laser-cut models together with resin is to be artistic with filler/modelling paste on the flat areas of the laser-cut models, even just adding a simple brush over of filler to catch a drybrush highlight. But I don't mind the idea of a tabletop covered with laser-cut models.    I hope to be able to produce enough to allow gamers to do just that.

Now I do like them...
I have no use for them (yet)... What about fortifications, middle ages and Middle eastern?
