TBT! Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 www.worldworksgames.com awesome stuff, needs to be up scaled in photoshop but well worth it, check out some of the scene's at my website below Hey Winkerbean, Which sets do you have and how much do you need to scale them? I've been thinking about getting some of that stuff for a while but am worried it wont scale up without going through a lot of paper/ink. Can you post or PM me an example of the actual and then a blown up version? Thanks T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reideen1313 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 MEGA BLOKS toys are the best! http://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.ph...ost&id=1132 Except for the fact that they use cheap plastic and the parts don't always stay locked together.... *Sorry - I'm extremely loyal to LEGO. I admit to having gone briefly to the dark side and have some parts as a result, but the majority of my blocks are real LEGO product. That's all I allow to come into my house now as a matter of fact.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mess with anything Megabloks even when I've found megabloks sets for next to nothing. Those paper sets look great but do you use any type of paper or a special thick one?

winkerbean Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 OK step 1 a WW 3 story office block prints out on A4 but for minimate scale thats way to small so break it down into 1 story per page of A4, a minimate is 2" so the a the height of 1 story should be 4" which is easy to do in photoshop by changing the rulers to inchs, Step 2 paper/card i never use card or paper, i use A4 label sheets (its basically a giant A4 label) print onto that then u have 2 choices giant bits of card or my favorite foam card (A3) but you can get bigger, cut out your 1st floor stick to the card then repeat step 1 until u get a 3 story building then cut off any excess card and presto!! i'll try to take some photos of how i do it step by step for a simple build (i'm currently upscaling their new http://worldworksgames.com/store/index.php...products_id=232 and its pretty trickey because of the size) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
