Some poster boards
The devil is in the detail so they say. During the last two weeks I have been making various detail parts for the platform building, but it seems to be going rather slowly.
If you look at period pictures of CR stations one thing stands out. Poster boards. The CR fitted a lot of them, and some of the posters have become collectors items. Really, have a look at ;
Right so when you have picked yourselves up off the floor I have had a go at modelling some. Micheal Dunn wrote a very useful article in TTL No. 139 in which he gives full dimensions of a poster board he has purchased and restored. I based mine on the information in that article. The silhouette was used to cut the inner frame from 10 thou, beading from 20 thou round rod added and a bit of filling and sanding. Various images were acquired and sized in affinity before being printed out on matte photo paper. Purists might argue that some of those posters would not be seen at the same time as others due to printing dates but sometimes you just have to work with the stuff that is available.
Close up and photographed 4 times actual size they look a bit rough, a bit of detail cleaning up to do. Seen from a sensible distance they do look the part.
