There are a number of ways to convert them to 15mm if you do not have the full adobe acrobat suite.

One way requires a scanner. print out the original pdf, then scan it saving as a jpg or bmp image. then use either ms paint or another program to rescale the scanned image.

if you do not have a scanner then a more compicated method requires a print screen key on your keyboard. if it has one after pressing the key you will need to go into your windows system32 file (or possibly the windows system file if using something older than windows xp) look for the clipbrd icon and click it. you will see the image in a new window. press crtl and c, open ms paint or your graphics program, then press ctrl and v and the image will be in your graphics program. rescale to size.

Thanks for that - I was just thinking about these "Hard Cover Buildings" at the weekend - I used to have quite a few way back in the 80's

Just spent some time re-living my youth. A top tip remembered from years ago. When building the chimneys stick them around a match stick cut to length.

PS. I posted a bunch of paper building links in another post a couple months back. Some sources for pre-done buildings and images to cut & paste to make your own.

Cheers for that.

Well today, along with all the usual chores I woke up very early for a weekend - 05:30 so go that French Mech Inf Brigade based. Since then I've also managed to paint one Soviet MR Battalion (BTR70), and build one and a half sets of European Village and one of the Chateau sets. Got another MR Battalion half painted to.

Very productive, off to bed and I'll see what tomorrow brings - hopefully the second MR Battalion finished and some more buildings made.
