1:35 Road Construction Signs (5pcs - yellow markings)

Road construction signs 1:35, a set of 5 pieces with yellow markings

Five portable road signs with yellow markings in 1:35 scale, of the kind you know from closures and road works. Road signage is one of the most effective ways of explaining to a viewer without words what is going on in a scene, because a few signs turn an ordinary roadway into a dug-up street with a story.

Use in a scene

Set the signs out around an excavation, in front of a concrete mixer, by a heap of material or as an improvised diversion for passing vehicles. In a military subject they serve at a checkpoint or on a damaged road. Five pieces let you create a continuous line that visually divides a scene and leads the viewer's eye naturally. Combine them with the other building site props from MAiM: barriers, pallets and building material.

Painting and patina

Clean the castings up, wash them and give them a coat of primer. The warning faces come out well in a contrasting combination of yellow markings with a dark base; once sprayed, lighten the edges gently with a dry brush. Signs by a road are never clean, so a little dust pigment at the foot, scuffs with a sponge and tire marks will add conviction.

Who the set is for

• builders of urban and building site dioramas in 1:35
• military subjects with checkpoints and closures
• modelers of civilian vehicles: construction machines, trucks
• filling roads and junctions out with a traffic context

Diorama accessories, not a model in its own right. They are supplied unpainted, meant to be cleaned up and painted; paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
