Radioactivity signs

[Gunbird]

20 scratch built warning signs for radioactivity. 15mm/20mm scale (though should work fine as 28mm as well), made with a paper punch and thin plastic card for the correct size, a piece of brass wire and Renadra 20mm bases. Decals are from the OOP set Hasslefree did years back and I never found a replacement for them so I'm now officially out, sadly. If anyone knows a source for these, let me know, ok!! Flocked with a ton of Mininatur tufts.

I want to use them to cordon off non accesible or otherwise heavily radiated areas like forests, junk yards and buildings. Of course, the first time that I will use them I will propably find out I don't have enough <sigh> They took forever, 4 weeks of using spare time in between feeds when I wasn't too tired to do them.

In the background is my Pripyat sign, still proud of how I managed to capture the real thing in a model.

Great looking signs. Here's a funny story..

I do security at movie screenings for anti piracy and I was screening Chernobyl Diaries for the film society. A group of old women comes in thinking the movie is a documentary about the Chernobyl disaster.  About 30 minutes in when the Russian tour guide gets dragged away they stood up and walked out.

Anyhoo. Good job.

Great to see that Pripyat project again! Have a look for H0 scale decals by truck line or Herpa. I remember them doing some dangerous goods labels for containers and tankers which included class 7 (radioactivity) too.

I saw a catalogue for a firm that makes security equipment - hard hats etc, plus door signs and things like warning tape.
The catalogue images are about the right size for 28mm when cut out, and give plenty of options for different hazards.
Unfortunately cannot remember where it came from (or where I put it).

Excellent work- reminds me of Call of Duty.
And you should feel proud of that Pripyat sign- its lovely.

Nice signs! I'm glad you could find the time to make them.
Where did you get the paper punch?

Michi, already have a hazardous good sheet on order for pickup at Crisis...sadly, you only get 2 of each sign, no where near enough for my (weird) needs.

Fastolfrus, I really prefer decals over sticking paper to signs, just more practical for me I guess.

Modhail, Kruidvat, though I think Pippoos has a nice selection too, the models vary a lot though.

Oooo... Nice.
You must be planning on some heavy duty radioactivity (Radio Activities  ).
