Hello alphacentaurus. I appreciate you letting us download your roundels template. I wanted to share with you what I accomplished with them. I wanted some Nazi roundels but had no place to find them.
What I did is downloaded your template and brought it up in a program called iphoto plus. There I was able to change it from a sheet of 24 different roundels to 24 Nazi roundels, although I didn’t quite get it as straight as I wanted. Some of the roundels were closer to each other than others were. Then I printed them out using a 3.5x5" setting which shrunk the image down a little. At 4x6", they were 2 cm and really too big. At 3.5x5", they were actually a little smaller than I wanted but it worked for me. Now the red ring simply has an outer white ring as well. You see, 2 cm is a little bigger than either HBG’s roundels or WOTC’s roundels, which are about 1.8 - 1.9 cm or roughly 3/4".
Next, I printed them up on a self adhesive sheet that I use for mailing labels. I took the cardboard backing off of a legal pad which I didn’t think was quite thick enough. So I took a very thin sheet of cardboard and glued it to the thicker cardboard. Together they were just about perfect. I attached the self adhesive sheet to the cardboard then used a 3/4" steel hollow punch to punch them out. Like I said before, some were a little close to each other so some of them ended up with a small “divet” on one side, but it didn’t affect the roundel itself, just the outer white circle. Not all of them are totally centered either, but overall I think I did a pretty good job. I ended up with 96 total.
I have half a mind to see if this is something I could actually sell to some other gamers. Probably not though. This was more of a fun project for myself. Not sure if I would want to make it into some kind of business thing, however small it might be. Plus, those small defects in certain of them that I mentioned probably wouldn’t go over very well with people that were actually paying for them. So I would have to find some way of adjusting it so they all came out perfect, or close to it.
So, what do you think of them ? I took 3 pics; first showing them getting made, next is finished product and last in play on the game board.
