[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 2518407, member: 336"] I used an HP Dekjet 820Cse. An old printer to be sure. I used ink refills for all the ink, which I've been using for years. For the cardstock I used 110# Georgia Pacific Cardstock, which I bought at Walmart for about 4 dollars a pack. The Foamcore is black on black from XActo, also bought at Walmart for about 3 dollars a sheet. For the Maiden you will only need one sheet of foamcore and about 3/4 of a ream of cardstock. BTW, I stopped using an XActo knife for cutting large pieces because it would dull too easily. Now I use a box-cutter knife for cutting large pieces and the XActo for detailed stuff. It works much better. You're welcome. I love their stuff. Absolutely brought a new dimension to my group's gaming. Battles are so much more interesting when you can actually see a balcony above you and jump to it or from it. Kitbashing their stuff is also fantastic. There is one set available as pre-printed. It is "Chunky Dungeons". You should be able to find it at your FLGS since it is available through the normal distribution channels. I think you might be able to buy it online also but I cannot say that with certainty. As far as ink usage goes, it will depend on your printer and on which print settings you use. I have an older HP Deskjet and my usage of ink is minimal compared to the amount of stuff I get printed. I also get ink refill cartridges for working on this stuff. That saves a lot. Like someone said above, try getting a highly detailed prepainted resin 28" ship for the price of The Maiden. It just won't happen. You'd easily pay 3-4 times the cost of The Maiden, cardstock and ink. The great advantage about Worldworks stuff is that it is durable but if you break something it is simple to replace it by just printing replacements. Also, you can expand as you see fit. If you need 1, 2, 3, 20 new rooms/buildings just print them as needed. Most people start small and expand as they find necessary. I've found the WorldWorks stuff to be top-quality, inexpensive and very satisfying to build. Their "builders" community is also top-notch, helpful and encouraging. Visit the [url="http://www.worldworksgames.com/forum/index.php"]WorldWorks forums[/url], you will find a very cool community. I'd love to see what you end up building, so please post pictures.
