Re: Homemade Overlay Sheets
For old-fashioned, by-hand cuts in chipboard, i recommend the Craftsman Edge Utility Cutter. It uses standard utility knife blades, and will give clean fast cuts up to the length of the blade. It will do full-hex counters with no problem.
When I did my first set of stream overlays, i used a shears & scissors, but the utility cutter is much cleaner & faster. |

ETA: I just pulled the PDF up in GIMP and there's one minor difficulty. The images themselves are only 8x10, which is ~1/2" too short to get a 7x5 hex grid superimposed on. I think it'll handle a 5x7, which is only 1 hex less, but I have to see.

Re: Homemade Overlay Sheets
Some minor editing to expand the edges shouldn't be too big of a project. I'm sure the 8x10 is so it can easily fit on 8.5x11 paper, though

Re: Homemade Overlay Sheets
Yup, I expect that's the case as well. Once I figure out the best way to handle things, I'll post an update.

Somehow the 450dpi hexes aren't really 450dpi, and my math was off to boot. Oh well, back to the drawing board...

Re: Homemade Overlay Sheets
Oh spank! Those decals are just what I needed!

I'll try to get and post some pictures tonight, but I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow so I may not have time until I'm back.
