David Todd Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Am about to start,this evening, on cutting out, the Dover Signage,the new one's with the darker background colour. You can see, the difference in colour,in the pic. below....... Placed the canopy "on", not fixed to Platform 2/3, see how the blue banding worked out. More pic's later...

David Todd Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Making a start, the idea is to cut away,most of the surplus, then stick all of the signs' in one go, to an A4. plasticard backing sheet. I hope to cut,each individual one out ,on a hard formica surface,using a 45.dioptre mag. lamp. Oh, and change the knife blade regularrrryyy Edited July 20, 2014 by David Todd 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcredfer Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Isn't that a little ......................... I hope to cut,each individual one out ,on a hard formica surface,using a 45.dioptre mag. lamp. ........................... well .................... a bit blunt ..................... ...................... ........ Oh yes .... I see what you mean now.......... or rather ........... you see more ..... well ... that is ..... you could see before ...... but with the mag lamp you can now see bigger .... well ..... not actually bigger, the signs don't actually change size at all ........ that would be kinda spooky ....... still - much easier to see if they are magnified .... and much more accurate than trying to get individual signs on individual beard size plastic strips too .......... that would be a mammoth stick-up ......... well ...... more a stick-down ........ Good luck, that will take quite a time, but at least the cycling is completed for the day ....... apart from the re-cycling commentators later on .......

hybridangel77 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 excellent......there's nothing like the real thing in a layout.

lmsforever Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Alan looking at the bumper post on the section with the fire reel you should go down to DP with a paint brush you probably can mix the right colour quicker than NR! The signs look very good I use Sankey signs as they are very good quality and cover such a wide range .Moorings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
