The colony of Babylon sits at the edge of explored territory, a lonely outpost facing the unknown, nearly forgotten and forsaken. Like any fringe settlement, Babylon has a reputation for a certain degree of lawlessness, but its local officials and intrepid marshals do their best to maintain a semblance of civilization. The buildings occupied by the colony's administrators and security forces are usually painted deep blue for easy identification.
This 28mm scale card models kit contains all of the printable files and step-by-step assembly instructions you need to create a sprawling futuristic colony with towers, stairways and elevated walkways. Transform your tabletop with just a few affordable supplies and some spare time. Are they sturdy? Yes! You can safely use most ordinary metal miniatures on cardstock terrain made from cover-weight paper.
Here's a look at the instructions booklet: Babylon Instructions
Your models can be arranged in lots of different ways on your tabletop. Place them next to each other to form separate rooms in a large complex, and stack them on each other to create towers and balconies. Add stairways, walkways, rooftop transmitters, and ladders wherever you like. All of these components can be rearranged from one battle to the next.
All of the building levels have lift-off roofs and textured interior areas so you can move the action indoors.
Each part of this kit is easy to build, requiring just a few ordinary craft supplies. No paper modeling experience is necessary! The instructions booklet tells you everything you need to know, and will point you to even more resources. You will need heavy 110# US letter-size or 199gsm A4 cardstock sheets to print on, hobby knife, scissors, metal ruler, cutting mat, white paper glue, poster putty, and some mat boards or other mounting boards.
