Aged Signs For Your Buildings Have you seen modelers with great looking paper signs that look like they came out of magazines from fifty years ago or so? |
|
Well,
now you can have the same kind of signs with just a little bit of hunting and some elbow grease. The first thing you need to do is to look through some antique magazines and look for advertisements that offer reproductions of old signs. They will often have little pictures of some of the signs they offer. Just what you wanted. Not the one to order, just the one in the advertisement! Carefully cut out the picture in the advertisement with a bit of extra material on the side.
Take the picture and turn it face side down and with a little bit of sanding rough up the edges a bit. Next take some white glue and mix it 50/50 with water. Apply a thin layer on the back of your sign. Next you can place it on the building wherever you want it. Let it dry completely and then dust it with a little bit of chalk dust to make it appear faded. To make it look like it is worn just take a bit of sand paper and very lightly sand the face.
Little tricks like these can help make the difference between a good display and a great one. Come up with some of your own and share with others!
