LPCullen Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 No, I haven't, but I imagine that you could scan it in as a jpeg file and then re-size it ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrellandmelissa Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 When we build a "mission" for a school project for one of my daughters we used the computer a lot. The rules were it couldn't be made from a kit or kit materials. only stuff you'd find around the house like cardboard. I think there are a few pics of the mission on mel's webshots pages. The roof was made from corrugated center of a cardboard box and painted various "tile" colors. The window frames were done with a crude drawing program, ajustted to the correct size, and printed, then pasted onto cardstock. The adobe walls are actually styrofoam. (Did you know spray paint makes styrofoam disslolve and you have to make that wall over again and use acrylic paint and a brush? LOL!) And related to the question above, I SCANNED a section of the dollhouse wood flooring leftover from the Beacon Hill, and resized it so the "boards" looked an appropriate size for the wooden doors and printed them out and pasted it to cardstock as well. The statues were pictures we took of the actual statues on the mission and then printed and ajusted the size till they were "about" the right height. No animals were harmed in the building of our mission. smiles, Darrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrellandmelissa Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 OOPS!!!! Sorry. The mission pictures are NOT on mels webshots page but on our Geocities pages. You can find them here... http://www.geocities.com/darrellandmelissa/ ... if you'd like to see them. The pics with the descriptions were taken recently, but the ones at the bottom of the page without descriptions were ones we later found on the computer taken back when the Mission was newly built and still had our home made palm tree and all of it's statues. Enjoy. Darrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
