Hi,
Good question!
When I did my Skat Spieler review here on T-L briefly after the kit came on the market I did a search for playing cards in 1:35 myself.
PlusModel made a sheet with playing cards but that appears to be out of production for quite some time and no internet modelsupllier anywhere in the world seemed to have that set on stock anymore.
What I did next was take a bunch of real playing cards, put them under my scanner and threw the whole lot into PaintShop and went size-reducing until I had playing cards in the proper 1:35 size.
The trick is n o t to keep size-reducing the jpeg image itself but reducing sizewise in your printer instructions.
By the way, I scanned the front and the back of playingcards right next to each other so that when folded you get a complete card with back and front in one go.
Since you only have to glue ( I used white pva glue ) the cards only once into the hands of the figures, normal printing paper worked fine.
H.T.H. and Happy Scanning...uuhh..Modelling
