SirWilli's Workshop – Custom boardgame accesories made from cardstock

[SirWillibald]

Hi everybody,

since I know that there are quite a few creative people around here I wanted to share my own creative work.

If you’re playing X-Wing, Armada or Battlelore you might already stumbled over it on BGG or the FFG forums, if not you’re invited to take a look at my (rather simple) website.

You’ll find various stuff all made out of cardstock and ready for download as printable pdf files. All you need is a printer, cardstock, a pair of scissors, some glue and some free time. My main design principle is to make things that are
a) printable on a standard printer
b) (more or less) easy to build
c) a cheap alternative to otherwise costly (yet effective) storage solutions

Here are a few things I have done, sorted by game:

X-Wing: Miniatures Game / Star Wars: Armada
MicroHangars (the basic concept was done by DarkPadawan on BGG for X-Wing, not me, I just picked up when he left):

You can find even more preview pictures, (hoepfully) useful tips and detailed instructions (example) on my page.
More to come in the future, still plenty of ideas in my head, but just not enough time…

Feedback welcome but not mandatory! 🙂

Cheers,
SirWilli
