Waterslide Decals - Vintage Posters

Green Stuff World decals with period posters

A decal sheet with period poster motifs. A poster on a wall is one of the most effective storytelling elements you can use in a diorama: it takes up no space, it hides nothing, and yet it places the scene in a period and in a country far more convincingly than any other accessory.

Use

The motifs are stuck onto the walls of houses, onto billboards and columns, onto wooden fences, into shop windows and onto the inner walls of interiors. They come into their own in urban and rural scenes alike, and just as well in a civilian setting as in the background of a military scene, where civilian advertising creates a striking contrast.

Work tips

Apply the decal onto a gloss surface and lay it onto a moistened area so that it can still be moved. On coarse render use a decal softener and press it down with a cotton bud. Never leave a poster perfectly straight and clean: leave a corner peeling, an edge torn and the surface faded. Once dry, varnish over it with matte varnish and dust the area lightly.

Who they are for

• Builders of urban and rural dioramas
• Modelers making scenery for a model railway
• Those who want to anchor a scene in a time and a place
• Makers of interiors and shop windows
• Anyone building the civilian background of a military scene
• Modelers adding details to shop windows and arcades
