Title: Interwar hoardings
Post by: jp1885 on June 16, 2015, 02:52:28 PM
The dreaded octopus of suburbanisation is reaching it's tentacles into the countryside, in the form of these advertising hoardings I knocked up out of card and bamboo sticks for my VBCW collection...

Tell jp1885 by all means, but don't mention it to Spode, poor fellow.

Sshhh, Spode needn't know ;)
Ok, it's from The Dalek Invasion of Earth. I actually took the photo of the poster at the Doctor Who Experience, which is why it's a bit wonky.

Thanks! :D
I wish I could draw at all, let alone do all that freehand! It's all cut, paste and print I'm afraid (apart from the 'planks' at the back - a ruler and a biro)

Very spiffy  :)

Good to see a Bovril ad in there. Bovril sure have had some incredible ads.
