I picked out what would be the front wall for each building and rolled on a brick texture. On XPS foam it probably would have left too shallow an impression to get good results, but fortunately the cheap foamcore with the paper peeled off was soft enough take a usable pattern. Fortunately I discovered that Green Stuff World makes a roller that would give me the right results, so I ended up ordering one of those. I wanted to put brick faces on them, but I didn’t want to hand-carve the patterns and none of my 3d printed texture rollers had brick patterns small enough to look like modern ceramic bricks vs big castle-wall stone blocks. While these printed I cut up enough strips of dollar-store foamcore board to make a pretty much arbitrarily selected collection of five small (5″ wide by 6 1/2 deep) structures, a single medium (7×6 1/2), and two larges (8×8).
I’ve made the files available on Thingiverse in case anyone finds them useful.

The zip file below contains a simple solid store back door that is my creation. Note: The solid doors shown are not my designs, but rather from a Thingiverse download, and I didn’t end up using them. I also made a little power meter to stick onto the backs of the buildings – appropriate for some crazed foe to rip off and swing at the players as a club. I found a number of different varieties that were all more appropriate for residential buildings rather than commercial ones, but nothing that quite fit what I was looking for.įortunately, simple window frames and doors turned out to not be beyond my limited 3d modeling skills, so I ended up making some of my own in Tinkercad.

So I spent some time searching Thingiverse, etc., for free models of some suitable modern windows. Besides, there was a 3d printer sitting on the table behind where I was going to build these. The traditional way to do these is to build the frames by gluing together bits of balsa or birch strips… but I find that process tedious and prone to ending with fingers super-glued together. I wanted to have a few different door and window configurations as well. Then I would make some optional add-on roof parts that could be used to customize things for different scenarios. My plan was to start with a few different sizes of simple square structures that could stand on their own or be lined up side by side for the strip mall look. But this terrain will be populated by characters who can swing, climb walls, leap great distances, and fly, so the rooftops will often be every bit as important to the scene as are the streets below. Had I been building for D&D – or even for some modern setting that’s more, er, grounded than a supers game, I may well have gone that way.

Given this, I flirted with the idea of simply making a series of facades as suggested by DM Scotty in some of his videos about building D&D town terrain. Built to match the real-world dimensions of, say, the local farmers’ market, the resulting building would fill up most of my table and considering most strip mall stores are a lot deeper than they are wide, even the small ones would be hanging off the edge unless they were centered in the scene. I had to reconcile with the fact that in terms of square footage at the 1 inch = 5 feet scale, these just weren’t going to be accurate. Further, if I put a little thought into how I built them, I could make something modular that could be set up to achieve a variety of different looks and layouts. A few storefront pieces seemed like something that could be used often. This part of the state is basically just one big suburb wrapped around an almost empty city… so we have lots of little strip malls all over the place. My Mighty Protectors Campaign takes place in and around the likely mecca of super-heroic activity that is northern Delaware. After putting together some papercraft buildings to jump-start a small collection of modern terrain pieces, I wanted to try my hand at some custom ones to add more variety.
