Some FREE Modern Card buildings
« on: July 14, 2009, 10:44:30 PM »
Got this link from TMP if anyone's interested.

The buildings are all in HO scale but it wouldn't take much to re-size them. Would be ideal for modern gaming or possibly Pulp.

I actually have had those for a couple of years, but never posted the link here, because I have not yet had the time to figure out how to blow them up without going to the copyshop. I',m sure, with the right software you can easily re-scale those - as well as the fine models from Fiddler's Green I have been meaning to experiment on....?

I'm glad these seem to be proving useful.
Thanks for the re-sizing info, I will probably "Cut" them to print out on A4 (if I can). Failing that my mate's got an A3 printer.......

Cheers

Sizing info ok - it's just that I need some software to break up and rearrange the grafics, so that I can print them on A4.

As I wrote, I'd prefer not to have to go to the copyshop to make the prints.

From some of the pdfs it may be possible to copy the images without further ado, and then blow them up in photoshop or an equivalent program.

Haven't looked at them, but unless the PDFs are locked, you should be able to open them with PhotoShop, depending on the version.
