Bryan Mullins keep in mind I know nothing, just fiddle with stuff until it works. The image I started with was a public domain image from the ESA, over 6000 pixels wide. I shrunk/cropped it until it was 4608x3456 pixels. I added the hexes with Hexpaper Pro from S. John Ross and using trial and error, I discovered that 144pt. font made 1.5" hexes exactly at that size. I had that printed on a vinyl banner at 4' wide x 3' tall and this is how it came out.
Used Banners.com, was super fast, and you can get just about any size you want. 4'x3' is perfect for my dining room table.
Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)

Very cool.
ReplyDeleteHow thick is the vinyl, and what did the 4x3 print cost?
ReplyDeleteIt's thin, like a Chessex mat, but with a fabric back. About $30 to print and $10 shipping.
ReplyDeleteWow that’s really nice! I need a mat for Star Wars Armada and may do similar
ReplyDeleteVinyl battlemats forever now. I will never make another terrain board.
