yeah, will do. Test file looks like 7 rather gothic buildings plus a church!
Anyway first impressions look rather nifty. Are we all Ok with self adhesive heavy gauge paper on a roll then? You stick it to mounting board and cut out. Nice and simple.

Hi Rocket will it be posible to make it weather proof ,maybe using a outdoor varnish .so we could leave the building in place.

Ok well bad news Im afraid. Im a print buyer and I was shocked at this, a roll of weather resistant material 1m wide by 10 meters long printed in 4 colour was coming out around £400! Although theres 8 buildings including a church I cant see much mileage in this some how can you? All the buildings are quite large( ones a church! ) but £50 for paper building that still needs mounting is, I think unrealistic?

So how much on plain paper? It has to be said that I could scratch build pretty authentic 1/16 buildings for less than £10 each so you are correct about the cost of the weather proof material (not that the scratch built buildings would be weatherproof anyway).
It was a great idea though, and thanks for your efforts.

Bummer if they had been £50 for a print 1metre x 10metre I could have lived with that.But £400 no chance will have to look into other ways like Ozstruck using ceiling tiles.See photo.Thanks for Trying Rocket at least you can use the proofs.
