The Dead Worm Bait Shop Papercraft A Forgotten Project Brought To Life By Henning Möller

In 2019, I started working on a project called the Dead Worm Bait Shop, a small fishing bait shop located by a dock, accompanied by a tower resembling an old lighthouse. The idea was to create a diorama with the appearance of an old seaside establishment, but the project ended up unfinished. Some parts, especially the lighthouse tower, presented difficulties that I was never able to solve satisfactorily.

Time passed, other projects came along, and the Dead Worm Bait Shop ended up forgotten among my files. To tell the truth, after so many years, I don't think I would ever have finished it.

Then my German friend Henning Möller, who follows Papermau and has already shared other projects with us, came across some old posts about the Dead Worm Bait Shop here on the blog. Interested in the model, he contacted me to ask whether I had managed to finish it or still intended to do so. I explained that the project remained unfinished and sent him everything I had available, without imagining what would happen next.

Henning, who has also been working on a series of models related to the famous German Nürburgring racing circuit, decided to build the Dead Worm Bait Shop in 1/64 scale. He began by studying the original drawings, calculating the proportions, and examining each piece to determine what could be reused, improved, or completely redesigned.

He preserved much of the original appearance of the house and tower, but also made several modifications. He created new textures for the doors and windows, improved the cobblestone pavement and stone walls, redesigned the chimney to give it more depth, and found solutions for the lighthouse tower, one of the parts that had given me the most trouble.

The pier was almost completely rebuilt, along with the railings and other details of the dock. To do this, Henning combined paper parts with simple materials such as wooden sticks, wire, and even small rubber sealing rings, which he used to represent the protective tires along the pier. He also used a cutting machine to produce the delicate railings surrounding parts of the structure.

One thing I found particularly interesting was the detailed account Henning sent me about the entire process. He explained not only the modifications he made, but also the difficulties he encountered along the way. At one point, for example, he discovered that some parts had accidentally been printed at 97% of their correct size, which naturally caused problems during assembly. He had to check the drawings and measurements until he finally discovered what had happened.

Since Henning sent me so many interesting explanations about the techniques he used, the materials he chose, and the solutions he found during construction, I decided to save his complete account for a future post, accompanied by photographs of the different stages of assembly. I think this material deserves a post of its own and could be very useful to other modelers.

The result of all this work is the diorama you can see in the photographs. A complete model, full of small details, with the house, lighthouse tower, pier, stairs, and stone walls forming a scene that I had never managed to finish myself.

And here I want to make something very clear: if it weren't for Henning, the Dead Worm Bait Shop would probably still be sitting unfinished among my files, just as it had been since 2019. He was the one who dedicated his time and talent to studying the project, solving the problems that had prevented me from finishing it, and turning those old drawings into a complete papercraft model, ready for anyone interested to build.

And his generosity didn't end with the assembly. Henning was also kind enough to send me the finished templates, collected in a nine-page PDF containing one cover page and eight pages of model parts. He also sent many photographs showing the different stages of construction, along with detailed explanations of the solutions he had developed, and kindly allowed me to share all this material here on Papermau.

For all these reasons, I want to sincerely thank Henning Möller for his excellent work, his patience, his friendship, and, above all, his generosity in sharing the results of so many hours of dedication.

The Dead Worm Bait Shop began as an idea of mine in 2019, but it only became a complete model in 2026, thanks to Henning's work. And I'm very happy to finally be able to share it with Papermau readers.

Thank you so much, Henning! Without you, this little diorama would probably never have seen the light of day.

22 Years Of Haunted Dimensions - An Amazing Haunted House Papercraft Collection - by Ray Keim

This Halloween 2026, we have a great reason to revisit a true internet classic. Haunted Dimensions, created by American artist Ray Keim in September 2004, has just celebrated its 22nd anniversary. That's more than two decades dedicated to haunted houses, Victorian architecture, theme park attractions, and, above all, paper models that anyone can download and build for free.

In the section called Paper Model Purgatory, Ray has gathered an impressive collection of papercrafts, including Disney's famous Haunted Mansions in their Liberty Square, New Orleans Square, and Phantom Manor versions. There are also buildings inspired by horror movies and television series, such as Psycho, Amityville, Halloween, and It, along with models based on attractions from Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights. The collection also includes tombstones, entrance gates, coffins, and other small accessories that can be used to create Halloween scenes and dioramas.

One of the most interesting things about these models is how Ray manages to recreate elaborate buildings entirely out of paper, using printed textures that simulate wood, bricks, weathered roofs, and architectural details. Some projects are relatively simple, while others require many hours of work, but they all retain that special charm of traditional papercrafts.

Over the years, Ray's work has also gone beyond the internet. In 2023, for example, he was involved in a project connected to an exhibition at the Contemporary Art Museum in Bordeaux, France, featuring a model of the infamous Murder Castle, associated with H. H. Holmes. His paper models have also inspired gingerbread constructions, showing how a simple paper template can take on entirely different forms.

Perhaps the most admirable thing is that, after all these years, Ray continues to share his creations for free. He also invites visitors who appreciate his work to consider making a voluntary donation to help support the project.

If you enjoy Halloween, old architecture, or simply great papercrafts, Haunted Dimensions is definitely worth exploring. It's a wonderful journey through the history of papercraft on the internet and a fine example of how creativity, talent, and generosity can continue to inspire new generations.

Neste Halloween de 2026, temos um ótimo motivo para revisitar um verdadeiro clássico da internet. O Haunted Dimensions, criado pelo artista norte-americano Ray Keim em setembro de 2004, acaba de completar 22 anos de existência. São mais de duas décadas dedicadas a casas mal-assombradas, arquitetura vitoriana, atrações de parques temáticos e, principalmente, modelos de papel que podem ser baixados e montados gratuitamente.

Na seção chamada Paper Model Purgatory, Ray reuniu uma coleção impressionante de papercrafts, incluindo as famosas mansões assombradas da Disney, nas versões Liberty Square, New Orleans Square e Phantom Manor. Também há construções inspiradas em filmes e séries de terror, como Psicose, Amityville, Halloween e It, além de modelos baseados em atrações do Halloween Horror Nights, da Universal Studios. Para completar, a coleção oferece lápides, portões, caixões e outros pequenos acessórios que podem ser usados para criar cenários e dioramas de Halloween.

Uma das coisas mais interessantes nesses modelos é a maneira como Ray consegue reproduzir construções bastante elaboradas utilizando apenas papel, com texturas impressas que simulam madeira, tijolos, telhados envelhecidos e detalhes arquitetônicos. Alguns projetos são relativamente simples, enquanto outros exigem várias horas de trabalho, mas todos conservam aquele charme especial dos papercrafts tradicionais.

Ao longo desses anos, o trabalho de Ray também ultrapassou as páginas da internet. Em 2023, por exemplo, ele participou de um projeto relacionado a uma exposição no Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Bordeaux, na França, com um modelo do famoso Murder Castle, associado a H. H. Holmes. Seus modelos também já serviram de inspiração para construções feitas com biscoitos de gengibre, mostrando como um simples molde de papel pode ganhar interpretações completamente diferentes.

O mais admirável é que, depois de tantos anos, Ray continua compartilhando suas criações gratuitamente. Ele também convida os visitantes que apreciam seu trabalho a contribuir, se desejarem, com uma doação voluntária para ajudar a manter o projeto.

Se você gosta de Halloween, arquitetura antiga ou simplesmente de bons papercrafts, vale muito a pena reservar algum tempo para explorar o Haunted Dimensions. É uma verdadeira viagem pela história do papercraft na internet e uma bela demonstração de como criatividade, talento e generosidade podem atravessar gerações.

Below, you will find the link to Haunted Dimensions, where you can explore this amazing collection, choose your favorite models, and download the templates for free directly from the designer's website.

22 Years Of Haunted Dimensions - An Amazing Haunted House Papercraft Collection - by Ray Keim

And below, four more haunted house papercraft collections and Halloween-themed paper models previously featured here on Papermau, including a wonderful collection by Ravensblight and a Ghost House assembled by Papermau many years ago:

01 - The Great Halloween Architectural Paper Model Collection - by Ravensblight

02 - The Ephemeral Museum Meets Halloween - The Ghost House - by Ravensblight - Assembled by Papermau

03 - Halloween Special - Haunted Houses Candy Boxes - by Kalo & Minya

04 - Halloween Special - A Cute Easy-To-Build Haunted House Papercraft - by Instructables

The Ephemeral Museum - An Amazing Illuminated Haunted House Papercraft - Built by Mike Schmidt

This atmospheric haunted house papercraft was created by Clever Models in 2015, in O scale (approximately 1/48), and occupies seven printed sheets. The model represents an old, abandoned wooden house, with broken windows, damaged walls, missing boards, and a roof that has clearly seen better days. The textures are very realistic, and even without any additional details, the house already has everything it needs to look like a place nobody would want to visit after dark.

A few days ago, modeler Mike Schmidt kindly invited me to visit his photo album, where he shared his own version of this haunted house. I was very happy to receive his invitation and even happier when I saw the photographs. Mike did a really nice job, not only assembling the house but also creating a small diorama around it, with a dead tree, pumpkins, dry grass, a stone pathway, and other little details that make the scene much more interesting.

One detail that caught my attention was the mysterious figure behind the broken glass of the front door. With its white hood and reddish eyes, it reminded me a little of Spider-Gwen, also known as Ghost-Spider, from the Spider-Man universe. I don't know if that was Mike's intention, but it certainly fits the Halloween atmosphere.

What I liked most, however, was the way Mike used LED lights to give the house a completely different appearance at night. Greenish-yellow light comes through the broken windows, gaps in the wooden walls, and openings in the roof, while red and orange lights illuminate parts of the ground and vegetation outside. The effect is really nice, especially when you compare the daytime and nighttime photographs. With the lights off, it looks like an abandoned house. With the lights on, it looks like something strange might be happening inside.

In fact, the lighting reminded me of some scenes from The X-Files, which recently became available on Amazon Prime Video here in Brazil. I've been rewatching the series lately, and it's been a nice nostalgic trip. Looking at Mike's little haunted house, I can almost imagine Mulder and Scully showing up to investigate something mysterious going on inside.

I would like to thank Mike Schmidt for kindly inviting me to see his photographs and for allowing me to share his work here on Papermau. I really enjoyed seeing what he did with this model, especially the lighting and all the small details he added. It's always nice to see how different modelers bring their own ideas to a papercraft, and Mike's haunted house is a good example of that. Thanks again, Mike, for sharing your work!

Este atmosférico papercraft de uma casa assombrada foi criado pela Clever Models em 2015, na escala O (aproximadamente 1/48), e ocupa sete folhas impressas. O modelo representa uma velha casa de madeira abandonada, com janelas quebradas, paredes danificadas, tábuas faltando e um telhado que já conheceu dias melhores. As texturas são bastante realistas e, mesmo sem nenhum detalhe adicional, a casa já tem tudo para parecer um lugar que ninguém gostaria de visitar depois que escurece.

Há alguns dias, o modelista Mike Schmidt gentilmente me convidou para conhecer seu álbum de fotografias, onde compartilhou sua própria versão desta casa assombrada. Fiquei muito feliz com o convite e mais feliz ainda quando vi as fotos. Mike fez um trabalho muito caprichado, não apenas na montagem da casa, mas também na criação de um pequeno diorama ao redor dela, com uma árvore seca, abóboras, vegetação ressecada, um caminho de pedras e outros pequenos detalhes que tornam a cena muito mais interessante.

Um detalhe que me chamou a atenção foi a figura misteriosa atrás do vidro quebrado da porta da frente. Com seu capuz branco e olhos avermelhados, ela me lembrou um pouco a Spider-Gwen, também conhecida como Ghost-Spider, do universo do Homem-Aranha. Não sei se essa foi a intenção de Mike, mas a figura certamente combina com o clima de Halloween.

Mas o que mais gostei foi a maneira como Mike utilizou luzes de LED para dar à casa uma aparência completamente diferente durante a noite. Uma luz esverdeada e amarelada escapa pelas janelas quebradas, pelas frestas das paredes de madeira e pelas aberturas no telhado, enquanto luzes vermelhas e alaranjadas iluminam partes do terreno e da vegetação ao redor. O efeito ficou muito legal, principalmente quando comparamos as fotografias tiradas com e sem iluminação. Com as luzes apagadas, parece apenas uma casa abandonada. Com as luzes acesas, dá a impressão de que alguma coisa estranha está acontecendo lá dentro.

Aliás, essa iluminação me fez lembrar de algumas cenas de Arquivo X, que recentemente entrou no catálogo do Amazon Prime Video aqui no Brasil. Tenho reassistido à série ultimamente e está sendo uma boa viagem nostálgica. Olhando para essa pequena casa assombrada de Mike, quase consigo imaginar Mulder e Scully chegando para investigar alguma coisa misteriosa acontecendo lá dentro.

Quero agradecer a Mike Schmidt pela gentileza de me convidar para conhecer suas fotografias e por permitir que eu compartilhasse seu trabalho aqui no Papermau. Gostei muito de ver o que ele fez com esse modelo, especialmente a iluminação e todos os pequenos detalhes que acrescentou. É sempre legal ver como diferentes modelistas colocam suas próprias ideias em um modelo de papel, e a casa assombrada de Mike é um bom exemplo disso. Mais uma vez, obrigado, Mike, por compartilhar seu trabalho!

Um pouco mais abaixo, você encontrará o link para o álbum de fotografias de Mike Schmidt, onde poderá ver mais imagens de sua casa assombrada, e também o link para o site da Clever Models, onde as sete folhas do modelo original estão disponíveis para download gratuito.

About the Ephemeral Museum:

I have been involved in paper modeling since 2005, although I had my first contact with paper models back in my childhood in the 1970s, through magazines that were sold sporadically at newsstands. I remember publications with houses to build and dioramas or playsets of airports, western forts, nativity scenes and similar themes.

With the advent of the internet, what happened was simply a revival of the papercraft hobby for me and for many other people of my generation. Today I am opening a new section here on the blog, The Ephemeral Museum, which is a place where I will show some of the models I have built over all these years.

I would also like this to be a space where fellow modelers can show their work, so if anyone wants to participate in this museum, just send photos of your work and a few words, if you like, to the email below:

mautherous@gmail.com

All submitted works will be published, without exceptions.

Eu estou no papelmodelismo desde 2005, embora já tivesse tido contato com modelos de papel na minha infância, nos anos 1970, por meio de revistas que eram vendidas esporadicamente em bancas de jornal. Lembro de publicações com casas para montar e dioramas ou playsets de aeroportos, fortes de velho oeste, presépios e temas semelhantes.

Com o advento da internet, o que houve foi simplesmente um renascimento do hobby do papelmodelismo para mim e para muitas outras pessoas da minha geração. Hoje eu estou abrindo uma nova seção aqui no blog, o The Ephemeral Museum, que é um espaço onde irei mostrar alguns dos modelos que construí ao longo de todos esses anos.

Também gostaria que este fosse um espaço onde outros modelistas pudessem mostrar seus trabalhos, sendo assim, se alguém quiser participar deste museu, basta enviar fotos do seu trabalho e algumas palavras, se quiser, para o e-mail abaixo:

Todos os trabalhos enviados serão publicados, sem exceções.

Build Your Own Old West Town - 23 Western Buildings And Accessories by Lon Safko

If you enjoy Old West papercrafts, this is one of those collections that deserves a special place in your favorites. Created by Lon Safko and available on the Secret of the Lost Dutchman website, this fantastic set brings together 23 printable paper models that allow you to build an entire Western town in HO scale (1/87).

The collection includes practically everything you would expect to find in a small town of the American Old West: a saloon, a sheriff's office, a hotel, a railway depot, a general store, a land office, a church and even an undertaker's establishment. There are also houses, miners' cabins, barns and several accessories, including a covered wagon, an old water tank, figures and Fort McDowell.

All 23 models are available as free PDF downloads, and you don't need to register or provide a password. Just choose the buildings you like, download the files, print them and start assembling your own Western town. Since the models are in HO scale, they are also perfect for model railway layouts, but nothing prevents you from using them in dioramas, RPG adventures or wargames.

What makes this collection even more interesting is the story behind it. The paper models were created to bring to life the setting of the four-book series Secret of the Lost Dutchman, inspired by the legends and history of Arizona. The town itself was inspired by Swilling's Mill, an early settlement that eventually became Phoenix, the capital of Arizona.

The Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine is one of the most famous legends of the American Southwest. According to the story, a rich gold mine was hidden somewhere in Arizona's Superstition Mountains, and its exact location was lost after the death of Jacob Waltz, the man known as the Lost Dutchman. Whether the mine ever existed as described remains a mystery, but the legend has inspired books, films and treasure hunters for generations.

I particularly like collections like this because you can start with just one or two buildings and gradually expand your diorama until you have a complete town, with streets, shops, houses and all those little details that make a miniature scene come alive. You can even print some buildings more than once to create a larger settlement.

Another nice detail is that the website also provides basic assembly tips, including suggestions for printing, cutting, folding and reinforcing the finished models. All downloads are available directly from the project website, which is always a welcome bonus.

If you like Western movies, historical architecture, model railways or simply enjoy building miniature worlds out of paper, this collection is certainly worth a look.

And if 23 models aren't enough to build the Old West town of your dreams, you can always combine this collection with other Western buildings and dioramas previously featured here on Papermau. At the end of this post, you will find links to four more Old West papercraft projects that can help you expand your little town even further.

Se você gosta de papercrafts do Velho Oeste, esta é uma daquelas coleções que merecem um lugar especial entre os seus favoritos. Criado por Lon Safko e disponível no site Secret of the Lost Dutchman, este fantástico conjunto reúne 23 modelos de papel para imprimir e montar uma cidade inteira do Velho Oeste na escala HO (1/87).

A coleção tem praticamente tudo o que se espera encontrar em uma pequena cidade do Velho Oeste americano: um saloon, o escritório do xerife, um hotel, uma estação ferroviária, uma loja de artigos gerais, um escritório de terras, uma igreja e até uma funerária. Há também casas, cabanas de mineiros, celeiros e vários acessórios, incluindo uma carroça coberta, uma antiga caixa-d'água, figuras e o Forte McDowell.

Todos os 23 modelos estão disponíveis gratuitamente em arquivos PDF, sem necessidade de cadastro ou senha. Basta escolher as construções de que você mais gosta, baixar os arquivos, imprimir e começar a montar sua própria cidade do Velho Oeste. Como os modelos estão na escala HO, também são perfeitos para maquetes ferroviárias, mas nada impede que sejam utilizados em dioramas, aventuras de RPG ou jogos de estratégia com miniaturas.

O que torna essa coleção ainda mais interessante é a história por trás dela. Os modelos foram criados para dar vida aos cenários da série de quatro livros Secret of the Lost Dutchman, inspirada nas lendas e na história do Arizona. A cidade foi inspirada em Swilling's Mill, um antigo povoado que, com o passar do tempo, deu origem a Phoenix, atual capital do Arizona.

A Mina de Ouro do Holandês Perdido é uma das lendas mais conhecidas do sudoeste dos Estados Unidos. Segundo a história, uma mina muito rica estaria escondida em algum lugar das Montanhas Superstition, no Arizona, e sua localização exata teria se perdido após a morte de Jacob Waltz, conhecido como o Holandês Perdido. Se essa mina realmente existiu da maneira como é descrita continua sendo um mistério, mas a lenda já inspirou livros, filmes e caçadores de tesouros durante várias gerações.

Eu gosto particularmente de coleções como esta porque você pode começar montando apenas uma ou duas construções e ir aumentando seu diorama aos poucos, até formar uma cidade completa, com ruas, lojas, casas e todos aqueles pequenos detalhes que dão vida a uma cena em miniatura. Você pode até imprimir algumas construções mais de uma vez para criar um povoado ainda maior.

Outro detalhe interessante é que o site também oferece algumas dicas básicas de montagem, com sugestões para impressão, corte, dobras e reforço dos modelos depois de prontos. Todos os downloads estão disponíveis diretamente no site do projeto, o que é sempre muito bem-vindo.

Se você gosta de filmes de faroeste, arquitetura histórica, ferromodelismo ou simplesmente gosta de construir pequenos mundos de papel, vale muito a pena conhecer esta coleção.

E se 23 modelos ainda não forem suficientes para construir a cidade do Velho Oeste dos seus sonhos, você sempre pode combinar esta coleção com outras construções e dioramas de faroeste já publicados aqui no Papermau. No final deste post, você encontrará links para mais quatro projetos de papercraft do Velho Oeste que podem ajudar a ampliar ainda mais sua pequena cidade.

Below, you will find the link to the Secret of the Lost Dutchman website, where you can download all 23 Western town paper models for free and start building your own little piece of the Old West.

Build Your Own Old West Town - 23 Papercraft Models In HO Scale - by Lon Safko

Outdoor Shooting Range Papercraft Diorama In 1/64 Scaleby Papermau - Download Now!

After several weeks of work, adjustments and a few last-minute additions, the Outdoor Shooting Range Papercraft Diorama is finally ready for download! This is a small outdoor shooting range in 1/64 scale, created especially for Papermau.

Those who have been following the previous posts already know how this project started. While working on the new version of my Ammu-Nation Gun Shop, inspired by GTA V, I came up with the idea of adding a small shooting range next to the building. What was supposed to be just a simple addition gradually grew, gained new details and eventually became a completely independent papercraft diorama.

As I mentioned before, this shooting range does not actually exist in GTA V. It is an original creation of mine, although I designed it to match the Ammu-Nation and the general atmosphere of the game.

The diorama includes three wooden shooting benches with printed details representing weapons and equipment, ammunition boxes of different sizes, safety barriers, warning signs, several types of targets and a large wooden and earth backstop at the far end of the range. I wanted the whole place to look well used, so I added cracked concrete, dry soil, scattered vegetation, weathered wood and plenty of small signs of wear and tear.

The PDF file contains five pages. The first page features an image of the assembled model, while the following three pages contain all the parts needed to build the complete diorama. The fifth page is entirely optional and includes additional accessories such as extra ammunition boxes, wooden crates, sandbags, targets and safety signs.

I added this extra sheet especially for those who enjoy customizing their models. You can use the additional pieces to make the shooting range look busier, arrange the accessories in different ways or simply save some of them for other papercraft projects.

Although it was originally designed to accompany the Ammu-Nation, the shooting range can also be built and displayed on its own. In 1/64 scale, it can be used as a backdrop for miniature photography, as part of a larger diorama or alongside die-cast vehicles and miniature figures.

Another interesting possibility is resizing the templates before printing. Since the model uses relatively simple structures, I believe it could be adapted to other scales, including scenery for the classic Green Army Men plastic soldiers or even larger action figures, such as the famous 3.75-inch G.I. Joe figures.

Of course, the larger the scale, the more space you will need, and some adjustments may be necessary. On the other hand, a larger version would also give you more room to add your own details and create a completely customized shooting range.

I hope you enjoy the result and, most importantly, have fun printing, cutting, folding and assembling your own little shooting range.

As always, if you build this model and would like to share some photos, I would be very happy to see them and post them here on the blog.

Depois de algumas semanas de trabalho, ajustes e alguns acréscimos de última hora, o Outdoor Shooting Range Papercraft Diorama finalmente está pronto para download! Trata-se de um pequeno campo de tiro ao ar livre em escala 1/64, criado especialmente para o Papermau.

Quem acompanhou as publicações anteriores já sabe como este projeto começou. Enquanto trabalhava na nova versão da minha loja Ammu-Nation, inspirada em GTA V, tive a ideia de acrescentar um pequeno campo de tiro ao lado do edifício. O que deveria ser apenas um complemento foi crescendo, ganhando novos detalhes e acabou se transformando em um diorama de papel completamente independente.

Como já expliquei anteriormente, este campo de tiro não existe em GTA V. É uma criação original minha, embora tenha sido desenvolvido para combinar visualmente com a Ammu-Nation e com a atmosfera geral do jogo.

O diorama inclui três bancadas de madeira com detalhes impressos representando armas e equipamentos, caixas de munição de diferentes tamanhos, barreiras de segurança, placas de advertência, diversos tipos de alvos e um grande anteparo de madeira e terra na parte posterior. Procurei dar ao conjunto uma aparência bastante utilizada, com texturas de concreto rachado, terra seca, vegetação esparsa, madeira envelhecida e pequenas marcas de desgaste espalhadas pelo cenário.

O arquivo PDF contém cinco páginas. A primeira apresenta uma imagem do modelo montado, enquanto as três páginas seguintes trazem todas as peças necessárias para construir o diorama completo. A quinta página é inteiramente opcional e reúne acessórios adicionais, como mais caixas de munição, caixotes de madeira, sacos de areia, alvos e placas de segurança.

Acrescentei essa folha extra especialmente para quem gosta de personalizar seus modelos. Com ela, é possível deixar o campo de tiro mais movimentado, organizar os acessórios de diferentes maneiras ou simplesmente guardar algumas peças para utilizar em outros projetos de papel.

Embora tenha sido criado originalmente para acompanhar a Ammu-Nation, o campo de tiro também pode ser montado e utilizado separadamente. Na escala 1/64, ele pode servir como cenário para fotografias de miniaturas, integrar dioramas maiores ou complementar coleções de veículos e figuras em miniatura.

Outra possibilidade interessante é redimensionar as folhas antes da impressão. Como o modelo utiliza estruturas relativamente simples, acredito que possa ser adaptado para outras escalas, incluindo cenários para os tradicionais soldadinhos de plástico, conhecidos como Green Army Men, ou até mesmo para figuras de ação maiores, como os clássicos G.I. Joe de 3,75 polegadas.

Naturalmente, quanto maior a escala escolhida, maior será o espaço necessário para a montagem, e talvez seja preciso fazer alguns ajustes. Por outro lado, uma versão ampliada também permitiria acrescentar novos detalhes e criar um campo de tiro completamente personalizado.

Espero que vocês gostem do resultado e, principalmente, que se divirtam imprimindo, recortando, dobrando e montando seu próprio campo de tiro em miniatura.

Como sempre, se alguém montar este modelo e quiser compartilhar algumas imagens, ficarei muito feliz em vê-las e publicá-las aqui no blog.
