Well, almost everywhere.
I’ve been getting tired of the little tabs I have on some structures with the name of the business. I’d much rather have proper signs.
I did a little project before Christmas for one of my daughter’s friends. She was giving her father a model of his fishing boat. She was going to have Kim paint the name and registration numbers on it. When I saw the picture of the boat I realized how difficult that would be because of the shadow effect used. I offered to create some decals using Photoshop. I tried clear labels since I couldn’t find my water slide decal paper. A half hour later and it was done – quite a close match to the original as well. She and her father were happy.
Anyway, that got me thinking that I might be able to use the clear labels to make signs on structures. So, I played with Photoshop on the weekend and produced a few signs. Some worked better than others.
I’m not particularly pleased with the Dickie Clothing Company sign. I should have trimmed the label closer to the printing.
This one turned out well. I realized I need to do some detailing work around this building (in Stevenville). It might get priority over the Lighthouse and Kenville this week.
I learned from the Dickie sign and trimmed this sign much closer. I think it looks pretty good!
I have more signs printed, and many more to print. Keep looking for signs in future posts.
