Well ill give it a go, ill try the contours, its just a mater of replacing a single layer per map so no biggie. yeah its alot of work and i estimate it may take me the good part of a year or so. currently it takes a full day of work to complete each map. the frilly borders still need work though.
What id like to accomplish ideally would be to place all the maps on a flash flip book and publish online so people can use it as a book.

yeah ive been absent since i was finishing my last year of uni and finals and what not.
