Brilliant, this is just what I've been looking for.
A tutorial on how to do this would also be great as I want wasteland/rural/alien landscapes as well. My 6'x4' attempt went to over 1GB.
I sourced some city style pictures high res from
http://www.emergency-planet.com/files/c ... -textures/Talked to deepcut studios who told me I needed to keep the resolution at 150dpi for a good printing result.
Edited a whole bunch of the files together using PAINT.NET
Its a free program and is easy to use and has a button 'canvas size' which will show you actual print size while letting you set minimum DPI so you dont mess it up.
After that its just the work of cutting and setting the images to match (and remembering to not advantage one side to much!)
Should work for any style you want if you can find enough high res images.
Keep in mind the size of any features you have compared to epic scale.
For me it was keeping the roads to the right size without getting them to small. You can grid the pictures on PAINT.NET to see exact measurements and then get the tape measure out at home with handy landraider or whatever to see if seems right.
Then uploaded to dropbox since its a big file and send off to your choosen printer for production.
Happy enough with the result Im going back to do some 40k sized ones as well after I finish trying to get a necron and tau epic army.
