ok, I finally managed to put something together and ready for release;
there's the 15mm textured for MDRG version and the templates at both 15mm and 30mm scale;
being the first time I produce a pdf I hope I didn't mess up with dpi settings, everything was at 300dpi the whole time, let's hope the process of merging the single pages or such didn't screw things up...
anyway if anyone notices problems just tell me so and I'll try to get them fixed
so, the .pdfs are pretty bare, but I don't think anyone should encounter real problems when dealing with them; the texturized version is also prepared with a robo cutter template (I just pasted my stuff onto a miniature-erased set by Jim, so if there are problems with the template it ain't my fault ) for anyone wishing to make .gds files for them, while the templates are just thrown togheter into the pages as they need to be textured, doubled and mirrored before printing them;
the 30mm scale templates also have some less roof pieces, as the bigger dimensions of it don't allow for really big roofings; on the other hand, in order to remain into the machine cutting templates I had to split a pair of 15mm textured roofs into single pages (those would print just fine for my printer's printing area, but I usually edit anything to maximise space before printing, and I go beyond the cutting machine template);
the sets comprehend:
5 wall pieces (corner, small, medium, large and extra large), with the corner piece used to create bulkheads or dead-end walls and the others measuring 2, 4, 6 and 8 "bases" at both scales (that'd be 2", 4", 6" and 8" at 30mm scale and 3cm, 6cm, 9cm and 12cm at 15mm scale) from roof tab to roof tab, plus a small extra space in order to grant interlocking-ness;
3 walkways (medium, large and extra large, as "small" would've been a little pod instead of a real walkway);
various roofings, with some basic instructions on how to build custom ones (basically, one just has to rearrange the roof tabs as he/she wishes, paying attention that from the beginning of the first tab to the end of the second one there is a small, medium, large or extra large distance, and then draw a black border at 6mm/1cm from it at 15mm and 30mm scales respectively)
custom roofs can also be created on the fly by cutting printed versions; this is particularly good if one wants to produce collapsed-style buildings
in the 15mm texturized version the same way you can achieve different-looking wall pieces by just cutting the portals out of there, leaving planks where they are, doing nothing or a combination of the above; perhaps in the future I could release some other textured wall pieces (expect always 15mm stuff, probably sci-fi oriented)...
now, enough chit-chat, here's the links for download (just be patient at the dimensions of the texturized one, I wouldn't know which settings to use to make it smaller without risking a degrade of resolution), let me know if you like them
