1:35 Billboards & posters

What the accessory is for

Advertising surfaces give a street scene a storyline and a place in time. Without posters and notices a wall in a diorama looks empty, because the eye has no small drawing to catch on. Ready-made motifs moreover keep their legibility even at a small scale, which with hand-painted lettering tends to be the greatest difficulty.

What the accessory offers

A collection of billboards and posters for dioramas in 1:35 scale. The number of motifs, their size, the form and the thematic focus can be found on the packaging and in the manufacturer's instructions. The 1:35 scale goes with the most widespread size of figures and military vehicles, so the accessory combines easily with other elements of the same size.

Usage tips

First lay the motifs out dry and choose only those that suit the period and the place of your scene; too many surfaces side by side will swamp the background. Cut them out with a sharp blade along a rule and leave only a narrow margin around a motif. The way scenic accessories are fixed differs according to the form, so follow the manufacturer's instructions; do not soak the elements until you have checked that they are meant for that, because a self-adhesive form would be ruined by soaking. A poster looks more alive when it does not sit perfectly straight: a slightly lifted corner, a tear or a faded shade shows that it has hung on the wall for some time.

Who it is for

The accessory will be appreciated by builders of urban scenes and vignettes in 1:35 scale who want a convincing advertising surface in the background without laborious painting.
