I want to stick with it, cost wise it can't be beat and even time wise it's quicker than building from scratch.

The cabin looks good btw, despite your minor errors. I've done a b&w run through on occassion as a test - very useful for more complicated pieces.<br />I blame Bryan for all our combined hardships as he makes it all look so easy.

Yeah, all my non-crooked dice projects for my line are designed with foamcore sizes in mind, but all the crooked dice stuff was intended for cardstock, and there would need to be a number of adjustments to accommodate it.For the floor edge, a watered down black paint and small brush, which will probably be easier to do before that last exterior wall goes up. Sorry about the printer jam up, but I hope the rest goes up smoothly for you. Hope to see pics of the furnished model soon.

I'm going the lazy way and sticking with pre-painted mdf where possible and I noticed at a lot of shows you can buy finished pieces such as hills and swaps etc. Its mainly time for me I'd rather spend it playing games or painting figures.
