I had a couple of hours to kill so I thought I'd have a go at transferring some of my rough notes for the Valor Steel and Flesh rules by Paroom Station.
I know that they are pretty pointless for anyone without the specific models but I would welcome any feedback about the lay-out etc.
I will probably work my way through "Shop Bought" vehicles etc ( Like Ironclad minis, London War-room etc).

What do you think?

I like them, as good as many 'professional' cards I've seen. The clockwork background really sets the VSF mood! I'm assuming that the colour could be changed for different nationalites. Good work.

Splendid stuff Alaistair Old Boy.

I really like what you have doen with these.
Your collection is looking impressive already. I think we need to recruit your services in the war against Prussia.

Very nice, the clockwork theme really fits perfect.

Nice looking cards, Papa, the only suggestion I'd have is to lighten the background colour a bit to better read the black text.

Thank you for the feedback.
I did the originals on my laptop which has a very "Bright" screen compared to my normal PC.
I've adjusted the colour levels and have also added a crew casualty bar to the tank card.
I may do away with the coloured box for the text and just have a plain white box instead.

Hopefully they are easier to read.

The smaller text isn't too clear and once printed out on cards, I'd expect it to be more difficult. I think you'll either have to make it much paler or, as you said, make it white on the back.

Here's another attempt to make the card easier to read.

I think it's a great improvement to the others. What do you think?

That's it - great design!

twrchtrwyth · « **Reply #13 on:** June 05, 2008, 02:33:17 PM »

Yes, you've got that just right.

A bit of a cheat this one................
I haven't actually painted my Steam Walker yet so I fiddled with it using Photoshop!

Hopefully I'll have the walker painted this weekend.
