How about doing a google image for the sign and printing it out at scale?

cheers

James

My problem with that is if you have a cheap printer like mine it comes out all pixely because the writing is ssssoooo small!

Wot Jim said, plus a repeat of compliments earlier.  :-* :-*

Whatever your next board project is, please, please, document it with the level of detail from your Zeppelin thread.  Your skills are too valuable a resource and source of inspiration for the rest of us lowly mortals to be fed in mere snippets.

I'm afraid that project was mostly Gamer Mac, I was just helping! He wrote it all up!

I have the opposite problem. I have a decent printer but lack the ability to do anything else you've done :D

Thanks guys! A lot of the stuff I do I've learned here, on this forum!!

Anywho, I've got a wee bit further with some of the board. I'm trying to make up a building called Uganda House. I'm not making it to scale, it would dominate the board otherwise, and its going to be ruined! I'm also planning to add Crooked Dice shop in it.

This is the original taken from Google maps...



...and this is my adapted version, complete with ruined 'Dice' shop in the middle(still WIP)....











And I've painted up nelsons column. I'll try and get better pics later...

I like where this next section is going.
Oh, yes!
 ;D

I think having the flagpole on the side of the building would be a nice touch.

Looking real good. The paint job on the column is fab!

Is that the James Bondish Mountain table (sorry I can't remember the exact name) in miniature there laying wrecked on the floor of the Crooked Dice shop?

All the little detailing...  o_o

I do believe, if my old eyes are seeing correctly, that the cable car has broken off and lies on the floor by itself next to the board.

That shop interior is marvellous.

I seem to recall that a previous CD set-up had a scale model of the villain's lair in part of the model of the villain's lair used for the game, so recursion could be a theme!
