I haven't found much time this week to work on releasing my own papercraft Advance Wars A-Air unit, but luckily in the meantime, there are lots of free papercraft half-timbered buildings as well...! 🏠😋
If you think the half-timbered building in the picture above looks old, that's because it is: it's from 1549, and shows a lot of interesting details about the historical development of the famous Swiss half-timbered building style!
The Bausubstanz magazine and Fachwerkerleben foundation teamed up this January to hold a little competition, giving away a papercraft of the half-timbered "Trotte" (🍇 wine press building) for people to build and send in there best picture!
So unfortunately, I'm a bit late to tell you about the competition (which ended January 31st, 2021), but as they say on the website: "Even when the competition is over, (paper)crafting is always fun!" 😃
But luckily, you can still download the papercraft and send in your pictures (with your home address to the email address mentioned on the Bausubstanz website, but I don't know if they will send a little thank you gift - especially if you live outside of Switzerland...?)
And if one papercraft half-timbered houses isn't enough, the Fachwerkerleben foundation itself also has some free papercrafts, of the Rebhäuschen and Girsbergerhaus! 😊 (and lots more for sale of course)
