Billboards?
« on: 18 October 2016, 15:16:48 »
Anyone make billboards for terrain?  I have a few I am looking at, I just want to see how others do it.

I knew I had seen some!  Yours were why I started clipping small logos off boxes to turn them into billboards . . . but some of mine are mech high and wide- particularly my Jamison's whiskey tabs.  I might have to look at printing some of the logos from companies in the FWL ObjRaids PDF for BT corporate signs.

Armorcast has some. The famous Slurm billboard for example.

Would be great if some of the industry labels would be available as file. It would be nice to add some of them to a scenario, if that fits to the world.

I am going to take my ObjRaids FWL and snip the logos out of the PDF.  Then place them on used gift cards for backing or maybe balsa wood for when I put them up on the side of buildings.

For some of them this might work, but for many of them the background picture interferes. A gallery of those labels on the website would be great. ;)

I'm pretty good with paintshop. I could probably do up some of those if people can direct me to some artwork that shows what all the logos look like.

If I had a nickel for every time I've legged a Warhammer, I could put them in a sock, spin it around and leg another Warhammer.
