Miniature Planet: Ghostsigns for Model Makers
I love this, miniature ghostsigns for use on model railways and other small scale hobbies. This will be a welcome time saver for those who don’t have the dedication of Emmanuel Nouaillier. That said, the extent to which they’re modelled on actual signs is difficult to gauge…
There is currently a collection of 25 available and each can be customised in terms of size, texture and the level of the fade required (normal, medium or high). Once set up, prints can be ordered on paper, card or even adhesive paper to make it easy to stick to your model. See the full gallery here
These are three of my favourites, Lucky Strike above, Dr Pepper and Sun-Maid Raisins below. (All images from Miniature Planet.)
