Free-lanced S scale firehouse

**BobPomroy** · #1 03-13-2015, 11:05 AM

I needed a way to show off my 1/64th scale diecast fire engines, so I used Clever models brick textures to create this free-lanced fire station. My computer crapped out on me, and I have yet to purchase a graphics package that will work with my new one, so the project is currently on hold.

Looks good.

In the meantime, have you tried using Windows Paint or Fresh Paint (Windows 8 and up).

Great looking start! whenever I try to scratch-design using clever model textures, the building always looks (to one degree or a worse one) like it has just been patched together. For now, I'll just have to stick to hacking existing clevermodels buildings. However, you really avoided this look, it looks good so far. keep at it!

This is an interesting way to display your fire engines. Looking forward to when you're able to continue this thread

Thank you!

The files are in MS Visio, my favorite graphics tool. I don't want to start over in another tool.

OK.

Problem!

I use Visio extensively as well.

Have you looked (next tack!) on Google to see if there is a Google Extension that would open Visio. Probably is!

I am thinking of a charting program compatible to Visio. You could then resave the files in a useable format. Or "print to pdf" and open with a photo editor!

OK. You are in busness maybe.

Go to the Google Chrome Store and there is Lucidchart. Visio compatible. Just buy a one month package for $8.00 so yoi can do the conversion.

If you do do not use Chrome you are missing out, so just install it first anyway.
