I didn't want to steal anyone else's thunder by posting in their thread so I started this new thread just to show off the tiles I've been making from the official tiles.  I must say it's so much more satisfying to have them as tiles rather than glued onto cardboard.

Printing tips - print the PDF files at 100%, please ensure that there is no resizing to fit the paper.  My default paper size is A4.  Printer is a HP LaserJet 2600n.

I'm just using a glue stick to stick them on.  I hope they hold.  I'm not getting any black lines on the tiles, but I'll note that these tiles do not have the city segments which have thicker black lines.

Anyways, here's my copy of CS&C with the 2 blank tiles converted to forest tiles:



Apologies for the blurring in that picture.  You can tell which 2 used to be the blank tiles.  Next up, completing the remaining 13 tiles from Forest01.

Well, I was very impressed with koolkat's tiles so here's what I have made:



Again, apologies for the blurriness.  There's one extra tile there not from Forests.  Can you spot it?  It's there for comparison purposes.

I was also wondering if anyone will tell me how many completed forests are there in that picture.

Anyways, I'm out of tiles.  I'm going to try and email HiG to see if they would send the blank tiles outside Europe Shocked

Nope, HiG is not willing to send tiles outside Europe Sad  I guess I just have to pick up more expansions to make these tiles.  The first batch was made with Tower tiles (I wanted to make black tower pieces, so I bought a second copy of The Tower)  I'm glad that we can now get CS&C easily to make tiles!  I also need to pick up P&D for the second dragon (for Dual Dragon) so I should have some more extra tiles there Smiley

It's realy a pity. There should be a way for you to get blank tiles.

We can.  It's called Cult, Siege and Creativity.  We only get 2 blank tiles though in there though Sad  However, it's fine.  I plan on buying about 20 CS&C and maybe 10 Rivers 2 the next time I visit the LGS (Local board-Game Store) and I'll have 240 "grey back" tiles and 120 "black back" tiles.

Yes. Your other solution is to move to Europe... (Didn't mean to be mean)
