If you print the file as is, the hexes will slowly become bigger and bigger. I have not figured out the correct scale yet, but try to output a section of the the file at 99% and see where that gets you. I no longer have access to the large-format printer and cannot test this for myself. 'Guess I could open the Illustrator file and measure 20 hexes or so and do the same with the plastic pieces--I just haven't gotten around to it--plus, I don't trust my math. |

I tried something similar before but used a different method. I put water tiles on my scanner and pushed the copy button, then cut out a single tile with an xacto knife. It matched up perfectly. If I can find the pic I will upload it. Im sure you could put multiple tiles together and cut out the whole lot of them and glue them down on a board or something.

If you want to take a crack at scaling it correctly, the Adobe Illustrator EPS file can be found here: http://homepage.mac.com/vigprints/FileSharing6.html - file name "watermat_ILLUSTRATOR_EPS.zip" |

Could just make a cookie cuter like thing to cut blue foam board for water
Your scale issue, you should be able to scale it some how, so that it comes out to be 1" on each hex wall, it is supose to be 1 inch right? my custom plastic hexes worked perfectly at 1 inch . See if it is off in the X and the Y axis, it might just be your printer, if it was not propperly calibrated... Alternatively these could be drawn in a true CAD program... and printed perfectly to scale on a plotter. |

By the end of next week, I will fix the scaling issues I've had with my maps and re-post them all. (I had gotten discouraged and needed to step away from the project to clear my head. I tend to over-analyze things.)
Rescaling the maps correctly should not be a problem. My only big set back is that I no longer has access to a large format printer to test distorition over a great length (tiling 8.5" x 11" just isn't acurate), but I'll figure something out. I will get this done. teekay |

I'll let you know if it happens on 11x17, even though it will only be black and white. |

Re: Water, Snow, Sand, and blank game mats - UPDATE!
My maps are scaled an 1/8" too big.
12 plastic hexes measure 21". 12 of my printed hexes measure 21-1/8". 21.125" to 21" = 99.4% If anyone is good at math, please verfiy my answer and that will be the exact size I need to scale my maps and repost all of them! teekay |

but 99.4% is probably fine :P |
