Can you scan and reprint it? Or even take a picture on your camera, download that and resize in paint if you have Windows?

Not got a printer , and paper doesn't last long out side, plastic , or tin/metal signs are the best...thanks for the ideas
Agreed - it is now an annual maintenance task for me, reprinting and laminating my cinema's posters from file and replacing them on the boards, just like the real thing but less frequent! With a spray of matt varnish, they just about last one season.

Not for a railway, but I once put some homemade signs outside, both paper on a piece of scrap brass, I experimented with two finishes, one had a pva smear over the top as a finish, this can go a bit yellow over time, the other was glued on using uhu/bostic glue with a dusting of WD40 sprayed on top, neither particularly great for miniature buildings but okay for signs not fixed to a building.
The other option I tried which didn't end well was printing on to plasticard, thankfully I used the work printers, as I say it didn't end well. I think the idea would work but you need to use the correct type of plastic sheet.

Love the cover.
Today's illustrators have somehow lost touch...
A little racy without going too far.
My wife gave us a scare 2 years ago, not wanting to be the same as most people, my wife's problem is the muscles around her heart.
You take care, follow the quacks advice and you'll be making us envious with your creations for years to come

Hello Mike,
until now I was not aware of the thread, I had only ever seen individual pictures of your layout. GRANDIOUS
But now I have 2 questions ( Maybe I missed it)
From which material do you build your houses paths etc.. And how do you process the material? Have you ever published something?
Many thanks in advance
Andreas

Hi Andrea's,
It's all foambord/foamex..same thing different trade names. .
A large wire brush...a large bastard file..
A small needle file ,a craft. knife ..
Simply score in the desired flags, cobbles ,stones , distress the foambord with your weapon of choice(see above)
And yes, I wrote for garden rail..and the g scale society,.. but I don't think there's much interest in the builds to be honest.
