What are they being printed on, out of curiosity? Is it paper or something more substantial?

[Tornado]

Paper. Then mounted on cardboard maps from MtG.
Though I think if we smoothed out the edges, we could mount on posterboard.

That's cool. And, sorry, have about a year and a half or more of catch up reading to do.

Also, more importantly, can you use the basics from those designs to create a map with a base for my bookshelf skyscraper?

Yeah I have an old computer and my template is really large to accommodate what ever size we need. So I have to wait until my wife lets me use her laptop or I can't even scroll around the file. I have been gathering stock images for the floor...I've got a marble and wood floor planned. I'm also going to print a plain white one so you can save ink until you are happy with the layout.

Sweet. You da man.

Do you have Photoshop and a hefty computer. The files are 2 GB. It's not really hard it's just a lot of detail rotating and test fitting so that they are tile-able and work in all directions they are suppose to.

[Tornado]

Define hefty.

[quozl]

I'll try them out as soon as I can get letter size printouts!

[IAmBatman]

Do you just mean hard drive space when you say "hefty"?

Let me know what I need. I have been looking for an excuse to buy a new desktop PC.

I was trying to pull files from an old CD-R but my laptop does not have a CD drive.
I fired up seven old PCs and none of them got past the boot screen.
Really need to get rid of those. I was saving them for future MAME projects but the Rasperry Pi made that pretty pointless.

I have yet to make the jump to Pi's for my arcades...probably since I have so much time invested in the setup of the LED system to want to do it all over again. Though I have a Pi Zero hanging around needing a project. I figured it would be enough for Donkey Kong and the like...I always wanted to build a cocktail cabinet in a wine barrel for a Donkey Kong theme. Of course when I finally decided to pull the trigger I couldn't find a barrel for under $100 around here. Apparently barrel furniture is a thing now and the "artist" around Austin bought them all up so everyone thinks they are a commodity now.
