Well I've been debating for some time what to do with the 25mm paper
buildings. Deciding whether I should sell them as printed sheets or charge for
downloading etc. But in the end I thought what the hell I'll just let people
have them for free!

As always comments welcomed from those of you putting them to use. Any
problems let me know and happy gaming.
Right that's another thing I can cross off on the things to do list:)

I haven't used 'em much yet because of lack of (a) gaming time and (b) a
colour printer, but when I get either of the above... these are certainly the
best terrain option I've come across if (like me) you don't have a great deal
of storage space.

Hmmm lots of people keep mentioning lack of a decent printer. Maybe I should
look at free to download or pay for ready printed sheets?

What's stopped me is three fold:
1) Color printer (Okijet) needs cartridges (and they 'cost' when kids do
their 'art' with them.) Because I don't have decent paper I haven't
bought the cartridges and printed them. But that's more an excuse than a
reason now that I type it. Really not a good reason is it? Okay, what weight
card stock is a good choice for printing?
And
2) Some of the people I play with are predominately "historical" war game
players some of whom might not participate with 'paper' (read as
'not real miniature terrain') buildings (pity, I know.) Not a
particularly good reason, either, I see... Oh well, their loss.
and
I don't have decent pictures from the local cons so nothing I have taken
pictures of has made a web page. And I have taken a fair amount of
(unsuccessful) pictures. Okay, I guess I can try and get some pictures
of a game in Die-Con (end of May) and post them (I guess one has them
developed on a CD, right? and then loads them to the files like an excel or
word document?) somewhere. I will try and put to use all the 'lessons' I have
encountered in my unsuccessful efforts in the past.
As to your question:
Although I would be glad to pay you (but the postage to the US might be more
than the price of the printed buildings methinks) I think mostly it's more a
matter of some of the three reasons above why many others haven't let you know
about their use of your downloads.
Mostly the third I suspect. At most of the local cons I only see maybe one
game master a day (or less) who has cameras recording the game. Recently the
newsletter editor (who has been begging for pictures of the last three local
cons IIRC) began walking around taking pictures rather than playing. But those
apparently were less than he hoped because he indicated they '...didn't come
out..." when he sent the newsletter after the last con.
Even if I had paid you for these and I had printed them out and I had used
them in games I wouldn't have any pictures of them because of the 'camera
challenged' person I have been. Try, try again.
Gracias,
I use 75 or 90lb paper (watercolor paper) to make most of my PDF terrain. I
worked out the cost to myself at
one point (color cart. + paper) and it came in at
under $1USD. I have lots of stuff made out of paper for WW2 Europe in 20mm.

Well thinking about this what I could do in the short term. And I know this
won't help you guy's outside the UK, but I
could bring some pre-printed sheets to SALUTE in April if
people express an interest?
Just a thought for now.

Well, I am not in UK but I think it would be a great idea to test the waters
before expending lots of efforts.
