Clever idea.

I would have added "lifted" paving slabs where the tree comes out of the base, though that would not be particularly noticeable.

I know that I stated that I am eager to finally get to painting my warbands, but my orders from Fogou Models and Sarissa Precision arrived yesterday, and I just couldn't help myself. By combining a Sarissa mdf billboard kit with some of the Fogou barriers, I hope to create an interesting terrain piece that injects a bit of old Seattle flavor into my board.

I didn't say it's a very good flavor, but it's good enough when you are 5 or 6 beers in, and not tasting much of anything anymore. Plus, it's something's that had its heyday during my youth, so for good or ill, thinking about it always brings back a sense of nostalgia.

That looks excellent. I can't wait to see it painted

+1 to seeing it painted up, & in the words of Kid Sheleen (in the film Cat Ballou)..."I'll drink to that!"

I'm liking that billboard.

Really like the concept - great idea. Looking forward to seeing the next steps.

Looks good.

I glued the artwork to a very thin sheet of styrene that is sized to fit in the sign's frame. The sheet is held in place by 4 tiny pieces of poster tack and can be easily removed. I designed it this way because I didn't know if I would like the look of artwork after it was "aged" with a thinned down brown ink. This turned out to be a wise move on my part. My first attempt to "age" the art didn't go so well. What you see is my second go at aging the sign.

Kickass! That looks fantastic!

Agreed - nice weathering.

I agree, that is very good.

Love that!

Thanks everyone.

I feel that the front face of the frame around sign should be a bit darker. I got a bit too rambunctious with the highlighting.

looks great...

A great advantage in having removable signage. I can see another piece of advertising with maybe one of the "wallpaper" strips separating and hanging down, simulating the weather getting at the glue.
