Downloadable paper architecture, of which David Graffam’s quirky models are stylish examples, is a pleasure, are that I have only just discovered. I was sufficiently impressed by the first few I bought as samples that I could not resist this generous but modestly-priced, bundle, very much in his house-style and versatile, given the variable layers feature and the .PSD files included. I do not have Photoshop, but can open the .PSD files in my graphics software (Serif DrawPlus X6) as images, which is good enough for my purposes.
To be frank, from the illustrations it is clear that the buildings belong more to the world of Fantasy than the mediaeval one in an historical or even practical sense but, speaking as a retired Architect, I find that this adds considerably to their charm. In any event the heaps of material in the package give plenty of scope for tinkering should you want that.
One further point, I have found that the printed colours, at least when using 160g/m2 plain card and ink-saving software, are much subtler than the illustrations might suggest.
In conclusion: very much worth the price (and the ink).
