Shipbucket

I started a project in my spare time (which isnt much) to get more familiar with the Shipbucket style. It uses a Microsoft Excel spread sheet with the cells set to .1" x .1" to form square "pixels".

I'm sharing it here in case some one finds it useful or wants to add to it. The link to my dropbox is below:

why are you not using paint?

interesting idea but a little bit complicated

For me it's easier to use than Paint and it doesn't loose any quality if I want to zoom in or out. I'f I wanted to print my work, i could do it at any size by adjusting the size of the cells.

how would it loose quality when zoomed in or out? the pixels remain the same size relative to each other?
keep in mind that the power of shipbucket is the ability to add parts and compare to all different kinds of ships. this is why there is, unlike some other lineart styles, a set of uniform scales. as far as I can see, this way of creating shipbucket art has none of these advantages.

printing shipbucket imagery in any size can also be done by adjusting your print settings, as you often can set the printer to a certain scale (1:1 for example) or an resolution, both of which allows printing in any size you want with an easier operation then adjusting cell/pixel size (I think you even might run into trouble with printing from excel as you have to set the printer settings anyways)

so sorry to say, but I really don't get why?

@JSB, there is the benefit of making your coworkers think you are doing some serious spread sheeting.

using the 'nearest neighbour' option when scaling in the free program paint.net gives the same result.
