sure....you say that now!  Wait til after the floor joists start cracking due to pewter weight!  lol[/quote]

I can relate to this. First models I bought were Leicester Micro Model ships in 1/4800 and tanks in 1/300. (Not much in the way of details on the ships and the tank barrels were wire.) Many years later I concluded that shifting lbs of miniatures is not good for people let alone joists!

That is why I have gone back to the 60's, making my own counters. I am sure that back then I was quicker with pen and paint than I am with Paint shop pro!

I would be happy with dorsal views of the ships. It would make life easier.
Making a top down counter from a 3/4 view takes time and a lot of guess work for the parts that cannot be seen in a picture.

There is no such thing as too many figs.....

I will admit that resin is somewhat kinder on your back, and on local building structure than pewter......

Anyways, I am tinkering with several programs, and will see what I can come up with...

Re: Semi - 2D Counters

One thing I did not mention about counters.

You can get sheets of Steel paper, Hole punch them and with magnetic sheet on the back of the counters - Fleets in a folder!
