Hey Y'all:
Anybody wanna try these out? Go to:
http://members.aol.com/blueofnoon/lego/whitewalls.pdf
If you don't have a pdf reader, go to adobe.com and score it there. Then you
will want to print to some sort of full sheet 8.5" x 11" sticker paper (Avery
makes this item and it is available at just about any office supply store).
You will then need to cut out each sticker along its outline before applying
it to a wall or corner element (I recommend dark grey or black wall
elements). I think Tudor walls and corners look best in white, but if you
want yellow you may wish to try filling in the lines with Dr. Martin's Radiant
Concentrated Water Color 15B Daffodil Yellow -- this will approximate system
yellow. Printer yellow is a little too "lemon" yellow and not quite warm
enough...
I haven't found a great match for system red yet, so I have been using my
printer's dithered approximation of this color for the time being -- the pdf
file for that will likely be forthcoming as will the Guarded Inn sign pdf file.
Anyway, the wall pdf is still in the "beta" phase, but it should work pretty
well. Just think, a color of tudor walls TLC never made! And there were
never yellow TUDOR CORNER walls either!
Wooohooo!
And if the pdf doesn't work for you, other format images are forthcoming.

If you want to get system red, just take a red piece to a model shop and
ask them to match it...

These files look rough but generally print fairly nice -- I think I'll snap to
grid, or join, or something next time rather than just eyeball stuff.
=(
On another note, I DO intend to make yellow and red walls also. And the
aforementioned Guarded Inn Sign. The yellow walls would best be left as
an .ai file (for pure yellow reasons -- no dithering) whereas I might as well
make a pdf of red walls and the sign that will likely dither on most people's
printers anyway. I'll make pdfs of all wall types and make some jpg files too
so that no one is left out...so just check back.
Anyway, I was just messing about in a near swoon from fatigue and decided to
play with Adobe Illustrator -- these files are the result. I just wanted to
rush to some usable stickers and see how they worked out on the wall elements.
Can anyone tell me if the lines on the corner sticker are about right or not?
I have never seen the Guarded Inn corners in real life...
