Hi Adam,

I recently came accross the amazing, www.printmini.com

I printed some of their wallpapers for a diorama I am building. Also printed a clock and some other items.

I hope that helps,

Great site. However, his scale conversion is off. Site says,
QUOTE: Steven Wilson, a military modeler and administrator of Central Arkansas Scale Modelers notes that 1:32 scale modelers can print the ¼ inch scale minis at 75%, and that 1:35 scale modelers can print the ¼ inch scale minis at 57% to get the right size. Thanks Steve!
Actually, if you use the above conversions, you will come out with 1/72 scale. 1/4 dollhouse scale is 1/48 modelng scale. If you reduce it, it will get smaller. To get 1/35, best bet is to go with the 1/1dollhouse scale (1/12 model scale) and copy (or print if your printer will allow you to reduce) at 33%. This will come out to about 1/36 scale, close enough. The 1/1 scale area has more items too. Check out the K-Rat individual breakfast, supper, and dinner boxes, they look awesome.

HeavyArty.... I noticed that also. I used the wallpapers that printed VERY nicely (pics soon) and the clock I plan to use on the side of a building so there is no right or wrong on that one.

I suggest printing straight from their pages as they have it all setup for you to do it easily. Most of the items I printed were 1/24 scale.

Here is the link to the printables in case anyone couldnt find it on the menu:
