CBT Scale Buildings

I thought I"d go head and make a list of links in one convenient  thread. Especially since there are a few more now.

Here are a few good sites:

Germ's web site:

http://www.germy.co.uk/index.htm

SmallRealities website listed under under "Terrain":

http://www.timewarpcomics.com/gamesite/btech

Two skyscrapers form Japan( you may have to down load a patch from Adobe):

http://dns1.rrr.gr.jp/paper_craft/tatemono.html

Nuclear Power Plant of Vandellós, Spain: click "Abrir / Descargar"

http://www.enresa.es/Red+Documental/Publicaciones/Material+didactico/es/Recortables+desmantelamiento+VI.htm?pagina=1

Here is a good site that includes the links above:

http://www.spacestation42.com/pt-buildings.html

Posted By Gurth They're 1/144th scale, so printing them at 50% should make them about the right size.:
 
http://www.grundschule-pretzschendorf.de/Werken/Weihnachtsberg/weihnachtsberg.html

And last but not least all the cardstock buildings I designed ( it 's also linked in my sig). The link to Sarna has a city road set I designed , which isn't on LOTB, and the link to LOTB has a tutorial and pictures.:

Re: CBT Scale Buildings

These are card stock but not in CBT Scale they are definitely worth mentioning.

Here an interesting site for drop-ship like vessels.
http://www.iwarpapermodels.org/content/index.htm

Some you'll need these Asian font packs from Adobe to down load the pdf's
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrrasianfontpack.html

Some you'll need this viewer or the main program to print.

Paper 3D terrain for CBT - LINKS

As we agreed I'm starting a fresh thread devoted to the subject mentioned anbove. I have few requests - pls just post your links and don't send emotional off-top  Smiley. Apart of links the short reference would be also nice.

http://www.papermodels-ua.narod.ru/ - one of the best links page to different kind of paper models (both in English and Russian).

http://paperbuildings.happyllama.com/ - there you'll find a lot of european style buildings. There are two kind of links to download the same modell, at least one is working.

A lot of SF paper terrain - walls, comm station, etc. One bad thing - you need to rescale the models, but part of them are usable in original scale design.

Re: CBT Scale Buildings

Here's some more paper models I found while surfing.

Made for Warhammer 40k epic

This site has a 1:300th scale light house as well as some scale stuff.

Re: CBT Scale Buildings

In this Commando's humble opinion...

The Ral Partha- UK (Europe) Resin buildings are the best value
for the frugal CBT gamer's money.

In the USA they can be had through
Iron Wind Metals www.ironwindmetals.com
and the new FanProdirect website. www.fanprodirect.com

Re: CBT Scale Buildings

Dreampod 9 has some nice cardstock building PDF's, you have to print them at about 50% or so, but they should be pretty nice.

note: these links are to HTML pages that have links to the PDF's.
heavy gear themed
Gearkreig themed

if standard battletech isn't your thing, print them at 100% and use them for MWDA. Smiley

Re: CBT Scale Buildings

A few more non-paper sites with CBT scale buildings.

xmarx.biz
http://www.xmarx.biz/entrance.html

Leva Productions
http://www.geocities.com/levaproductions/levamain.html

Wargamer
http://www.wargamer.pl/
Look under wargames terrain.  I enjoyed the the ruined buildings.  For US customers, the shipping was fairly quick.

Ground Zero Games (GZG)
http://www.gtns.co.uk/store1/commerce.cgi?page=ds-fp.html&cart_id=5974492.30224
The MICROTAC line has been seen in previous CBT manuals.  You will need to go to the download area to get the catalog so that you can attempt to figure out what each of the buildings looks like though, just see page 23 of the catalog.

Re: CBT Scale Buildings

I ran across this thread doing a google search for my website.  I'm curious, what types of buildings and terrain most people are looking for?

I'm working on a Gauss Turret and an LRM Turret right now.  Do you want generic city structures, industrial buildings, roads / rails?

Re: CBT Scale Buildings

I just stumbled across a German company that makes paper models. Many of their buildings are in 1/300 scale.

http://www.schreiber-bogen.de/

Wouldn't the Guggenheim Museum look nice on your battlefield? What about a mine (Zeche Zollverein Essen)?

Actually, those Roman buildings would be perfect for an upscale residential neighborhood.

Re: CBT Scale Buildings

Some great buildings may be had by a nice lady in Texas, and she often gets items from overseas.  Starquest Command is the site.  Some great stuff! Afro

Re: CBT Scale Buildings

What I'd like to see is a list of non-paper and a list of paper terrain.  It's difficult to tell what link is paper and what link is non-paper.  Personally I like non-paper terrain...doesn't get damaged as easily.  Afro

Anyone have a list like that?

Just about anything modular that can be stacked or placed side by side to make larger/more unique buildings works.
factories with smoke stacks
Split level residential buildings
Apt Buildings with balconies - (not sure how to cast without two layers per side and high cost)
Non-square buildings.  L shaped.
larger buildings "modular" style with removable roofs
commercial buildings - superstores, fast food joints, modular strip malls
Hospitals
Schools
Repair bays/Mech Gantries
HQ/Capital building
modular Stadium sections
Kurita/Asian style buildings
Churches/Mosques
Banks
Barns
swimming pools - I've yet to see one. above or inground
town square statue or fountain - not seen anything in 1/285 beyond homemade.

Whatever you come up with, hollow the guts as much as possible to reduce the amount of resin used and reduce the cost.

Re: CBT Scale Buildings

Fountains, apartment buildings, churches and stuff can be found in Z-scale (1:220) at model railroad shops. If there are no shops near you Walthers has an extensive sit with a pretty useful search feature at www.walthers.com

Z-Scale stuff is hard to find at the prices Xmarx.biz is offering.  $5-10 a building I'm willing to pay.  The $20-50 per building of most RR products, go fish.   Wink

Re: CBT Scale Buildings

Look at it as the difference between buildings enclosing a few cubic inches to buildings enclosing almost an entire cubic foot. Smiley

Re: CBT Scale Buildings

Let's not forget World Works Games who make stunning paper terrain. Their mech related product is Red Sector, a stand along expansion for Platform Command. The set even comes with modular mech peices to make your own 3D paper mech.

Re: CBT Scale Buildings

I'll second that one.  Even if you don't have photoshop you can still scale and print out your pdf's at a smaller size.




YES I KNOW these are MWAoD and not CBT but it will give you an idea of what they are like scaled down.  Its been a long time but I think I scaled these 60% from the original size.







Wonderful terrian!
