...Archduke Piccolo,<br /><br />Thanks for your kind comment.<br /><br />I intend to persevere with my current style of model, but I will try to simplify the process where I can. The other methods that people have used are inspiring and inspired, and show how a good idea can be made even better if it is kicked around a bit by a group of people working together.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-58113349656280992832014-03-12T13:35:44.508+00:002014-03-12T13:35:44.508+00:00Hi Bob

Did you get any further with the experiment. I am some hundred miles or more from my wargaming chum, and wondered if this would be quicker and more engaging than a postal vbased campaign?<br /><br />kind regards KenKen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04231379269565966932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-55012790943629787142014-03-12T12:14:14.012+00:002014-03-12T12:14:14.012+00:00Those buildings from junior general look extremely...Those buildings from junior general look extremely interesting.

Therefore some will be residential, some urban, some cityscape, and some industrial. These will take me some time to produce, whereas yours will probably take less time ... although I suspect that you might take longer that you expect because you are enjoying the design process.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-17768625945650129352014-03-11T22:00:23.232+00:002014-03-11T22:00:23.232+00:00Oh Bob!

You lead and we but follow :)<br /><br />I'm looking for a solution that's quick and simple to produce - I do like your balsa buidings a lot, and would consider going down that route if I only wanted three or four. But I want enough to populate a small table of built-up areas, so need a process by which I can mass-produce all the necessary items in a day or so.<br /><br />Saying that, I'll probably spend longer sketching and prototyping than anything else.<br />Kaptain Koboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082772546044655044noreply@blogger.com
