Scaffolding in the fantasy cityscape is a classic in the video game medium, and now you can do it on tabletop for your chase scenes and city fights.
Also great for structures in caverns, wilderness, dungeons and warehouses. The parts in here could even be used to throw together a guard tower if you like.
This thing is really a ton of parts, so it will take a little modeling skill to put together the pieces you want to build. More then any thing I've released, I can't wait to see the makes for this one, as I think it has a real great range of creative possibilities.
For instructions on how to get started with OpenForge, take a look at our tutorials.
OpenForge is now a patron supported project. I use the resources that my patrons give me in order to get the resources to let me create more sophisticated tiles with a greater level of detail. Please, support me, and I’ll deliver an ongoing stream of awesome gaming terrain. You can find more about OpenForge and Masterwork Tools at our:

Parts
This model is composed of a bunch of little parts, so you can make a wide variety of scaffolding.
The very basic idea is to take 2 of the same sized scaffolding squares, 4 of the scaffolding cross beams, and some planks. Planks are designed to sit on the cross beams, so planks should be the same length as the scaffolding square used. The scaffolding cross beams should be printed with supports. They have a rectangular backing that properly spaces the squares apart. Glue the cross beams onto the squares, so that the rectangular portion faces inside. For the planks to properly fit, you need to glue the cross beams inside the outer poles on the right and left side of the square.
I prefer to paint the planks separately from the scaffolding. Then I wrap (see below) and finally glue the planks on.
You can add a variety of other features to the scaffolding to make it look better. The cross supports give you the X, and should be glued down on the 4 points where the corners meet on the squares.
You can also use the cross beams as guard rails. Glue them on the outside, with the rectangle facing in.
The various heights (1h, 2h, 3h) help you build more rigid structures of various heights.
