Easy to make details
Posted by 101stAirborne on Wednesday, April 7, 2010 8:25 AM

I know a way(and I'm sure others know too) to make easy carpets, pictures, flags, newspapers, wallpaper, and maps. Just go to a search engine and search for what you want in images. i.e. Carentan map. then if you find what you are looking for copy and paste into a microsoft word document. then you can adjust the size to what ever scale you want and then just print it off. Go ahead and experiment.

Here are some examples of what I have done in my Sewer Rats dio.

The German flag and newspapers on the ground were all printed from the computer.

That's great.

Also miserably unoriginal. It's a well known 'trick' There are even sites known for providing content that will copy to scale.

How many threads do you need to start?

Can't you throw these ideas around on one of your other threads?

Well I didn't know that people did it. I have never heard or seen anyone do it before.

Just out of curiosity did you happen to look at the date he joined?  Perhaps he is new to the hobby?  Perhaps new to these forums?  Your comment seems a bit "biting".

Maybe so Grizz--Some of us find it annoying when a member posts 4 threads pretty much at once in the same forum that pretty much can all go together--101st already had our attention on one of his other posts(featuring the same vignette at the exact same stage)  and I already had a dialog going with him and was being super helpful--don't worry he's OK-----101st--you're OK right?Big Smile
