I have spoken to quite a few people over comercial
production. One of the things I am very concious of is
when you in introduce cost, even at no profit peoples attitudes
change (they get more demanding :)
I will hopefully learn how to use Adobe Illustrator this year
and so may well embark on some more buildings at a higher quality.
When I feel happier with the quality I may look again at ready printed
sheets.

I have pictures of the painted ones myself in my Sci-fi gallery.
But I agree completely over initial reactions. I guess they were
unusual enough so to speak to make people cautious.
Thanks again for the comments Tomb.
