Black SS Trucks and SPW? - Special K - 12-05-2015 Help, has anyone done Black SS versions for trucks and SPW's which can be printed off? I'd really like to put a few units together for visual effect. Might do this in paint and switch colors but first wanted to see if anyone had already done this. thanks! RE: Black SS Trucks and SPW? - Special K - 12-05-2015 Oh, and a Wirbelwind and Jadgpanzers IV and V would be magic. They produced a lot of leaders on the countersheet but took up loads of space.

They wouldn't be that hard to make, but I don't really feel like making a sheet of them. I always liked the SS camo for its uniqueness in the wargame world. What I could is make some vector images. Then you can make a sheet from those. Are you up to that? RE: Black SS Trucks and SPW? - Special K - 12-05-2015 Yes please, thanks! If you have any links handy on instructions for counter making that would be great. I'm a novice! RE: Black SS Trucks and SPW? - plloyd1010 - 12-06-2015 Ok, so let's go over some basics and options. I use Inkscape to make my counters. From there I can make svg, pdf, and png files. I will give a brief description of the path for using each, you tell me the format you wan to work with.
So which format would you like? RE: Black SS Trucks and SPW? - Special K - 12-06-2015 Inkscape sounds good and exporting to pdf shouldn't be an issue. So option 1 I think. I'll download it so can get familiar. Thanks for your advice! RE: Black SS Trucks and SPW? - zaarin7 - 12-06-2015 I prefer pdf for printing. RE: Black SS Trucks and SPW? - plloyd1010 - 12-06-2015 Ok svg's it is. I'm going to New Jersey tomorrow, they should be done by the time I get off the plane. You will need to have the Helvetica bold and Helvetica compressed fonts installed, otherwise the type will look funny. When you are ready, we can arrange a time when I can walk you though some of the finer points. Keith, those would have would have been single counter pdf's. Nicely scaleable and easy to make a bitmap from, but not suitable for printing. If you ask Private K nicely, he might share when he is done. RE: Black SS Trucks and SPW? - Special K - 12-06-2015 Wow, cool! Thanks a lot RE: Black SS Trucks and SPW? - plloyd1010 - 12-07-2015 Actually got them done by the tie I arrived in Chicago. I was about to upload them when I lost the connection. I took a some liberty with the truck. The reason should be obvious when you think about it. Let me know when you are ready to attempt your countersheet. W can do a Skype or Firefox conversation. |
