New Line of Products! Fold-n-Go Singles

Fold-n-Go Singles - Altar

Instead of releasing only one large product every 6 weeks or so, we’re looking into releasing smaller/cheaper products in-between our larger releases. Today release is the first in this new line we call Fold-n-Go Singles. Same great quality you’ve come to expect, just in smaller bite-sized packages.

Our goal is to be able to fit everything on a single sheet (thus the name “Singles”). We want to give additional configuration options with layers so you can print out multiple sheets with different results. So even though everything fits on one sheet, you’re still getting multiple sheets of parts.

Our first Single is the Altar. Everyone needs a few good altars in their game, whether they are sacrificial altars, or worshiping altars, or just a place to grab some loot. We’ve got you covered.

Tools I Use

I have had some questions asking what materials I use to create my papercraft models.  I thought I’d make a single post and list everything I use/recommend.

Printer

I print all my models using an HP CP1525nw (~$300) color laserjet printer.  I purchased this printer early this year and have been extremely pleased.  The print quality is amazing! I switched from inkjet to color laser about three or four years ago and I’m never going back. Continue reading

New Product! Fold-n-Go Castle Kit #1

We have just released our second papercraft product, Fold-n-Go Castle Kit #1!

This modular kit has everything you need to make your very own castle, including a working portcullis!

Again, Lone Tree Games strives to use as little glue as possible.  The only glue required is when you need to glue sheets back-to-back to get texture on both sides.  Everything assembles quickly and easily so you can spend your time gaming and not assembling.

Check out some images below.

Coming Soon!

Things have been a bit quiet here lately.  For a while there wasn’t anything newsworthy, then I got really busy.  But busy is a good thing because that means a new product is coming!  I need to finish the assembly instructions, but our new kit is going to blow your socks off!

You know something is good when you can’t stop staring at it, and I can’t seem to help myself!

Anyhow, here’s a little teaser.As before, Jonathan Roberts is the texture artist, and if you know his maps, you might see something familiar here.

Finally, there’s less than a week left in our user-build photo contest.  The winner will receive $50 worth of Rite Publishing goodies! So if you’ve built something with Lone Tree Games’ papercraft, take a picture and share it on the forums.

July Progress Report

Pictures of Works In Progress

So I’m always hard at work on something. Here are a couple preview shots of some parts I have just designed. Can’t wait to see what they look like after Jon has worked his magic!

These parts required very little glue. All of the back-to-back variety that I just can’t seem to get away from.  But luckily that is the easiest way to glue. Continue reading

Okay to print for personal use

Just got an email from a customer who tried to have the pages printed and ran into trouble with the copyright notice.  Looks like we need to add a note saying:

© Lone Tree Games, permission granted to print and photocopy for personal use only.

If you run into any trouble, point the printers to this notice.  Hopefully that will work until I can get back to the office and add the note to the originals.

Sorry about that!

How to build your dungeon

You may be wondering how to connect the walls and other various pieces together and how to connect everything to the base/floor.  I will share my preferred way with you, but feel free to do whatever works best for you.

Other papercraft terrain products have used paperclips or bobby pins to attach their walls together.  Paperclips are cheaper, but bobby pins are easier to use and provide better results.  And in our thin parts, only bobby pins will work.  In fact, some types of bobby pins may not quite work.  Sometimes the flared end interferes with the thin parts (i.e. doors & curtains), so for those pieces, I clip the flared end off with wire cutters/side cutters.
