I spent a while with a chap selling the "ECW" flats (and other books) at the Bovington show, and he explained how best to scan the pages into my laser printer. He thought they'd come out superbly well on thin card, and showed me the ones he'd done - very nice indeed.<br /><br />The Pathfinder Pawns are tempting too, and just the sort of thing you need for mass-gaming on a budget; or if you simply want to churn out a dungeon's worth quickly. All very tempting imho :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-91854816668708894522017-07-21T09:17:08.145-07:002017-07-21T09:17:08.145-07:00Thanks Michael.

I ...I`m so glad you looked up the Pathfinder Pawns. I so nearly got himself to post some good links for them to you, as I figured you might be interested. But I knew you were busy so thought I`d not bother you for now. But yes, they are highly attractive and strangely more-ish, and like many things, look even more so in the flesh.<br /><br />Ooooh now the ecw flats are simply stunning. I know because Stevie asked me to do all the initial work on them (I haven't started them yet, but perused them enough to be highly impressed by the detail and the way they are going to look when finished). I don`t think you`d regret the purchase Simon, but if you plan to cut up the book, buy two copies (as some of the designs are on the back of other pages). So if you want to keep a perfect copy, you would actually need two to cut up, and one to keep. Unless you just plan to colour photocopy each page, in which case ignore all I just said.Hilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786352646244095934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-13512681066262077372017-07-21T08:39:17.802-07:002017-07-21T08:39:17.802-07:00The Hammers are brilliant Simon, love the subtle w...The Hammers are brilliant Simon, love the subtle weathering and more Cybermen!

The 'fluff' sounds marvellous though.
