Thread: Custom Cards

  1. #1

    With my new planes needing to be photographed and put onto custom cards I had a sudden thought, why am I doing them as gaming cards, I use miniatures so there is no need, also, some of the planes are best recognised on the table by a side on view rather than a plan view.

    With an hour to myself and armed with a little knowledge (it is dangerous, I know) I put this one together as Mark I. I now have a project to do all my cards along the same line.

    Yes, I know it is not an Albatros, but it is Mark I muckabout.

    Very interesting George. It never surprises me what you lads can achieve with all this photoshop magic and stuff. I'm just happy to be able to get photographs onto the forum. My expertise with phoyoshop is using one layer.

    You are definitely thinking outside the box George.
    I don't know this didn't occur to me before. I will use your idea with thanks.

    Many of the best ideas are so simple. Well done.

    Works for me. We don't use the cards to play with in our games either. so a side view would help those whose aircraft identification isn't up to scratch.

    Great idea George, but you could have come up with it before I made all the custom cards for my re-paints!

    Not starting again now...mutter....,mutter...(wanders off trying to ignore the great idea that will make so much more work)

    I know the feeling. That is the problem with being at the forefront of development. You just think you have it all done, and someone steps in with a modification that is an improvement. Tony, let's drown our sorrows in the bar.

    I like it! Is that a model of a D-VI? Does anyone know the manuv. cards that would go with it?

    It is a Fokker DVII from Jasta 18 and uses an L deck. As I said it was only a mock up, the real cards I shall start this weekend.
