Ad inserts for clear plastic dice containers
« on: August 14, 2022, 07:04:07 AM »
Several years ago, someone had the brilliant idea of inserting sci-fi ads into clear plastic dice containers to use them as 4-sided ad billboards in 28mm SF urban settings. They posted graphic files somewhere on the net for this purpose. Can anyone direct me to these files?

You might have some luck with "printables advertising". Printables are usually for dollhouses and dioramas, but can work for 28mm..
You can also take a picture and shrink it with a paint program.

I remember this too but can't remember where I saw it.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that was Malebolgia here on LAF...

I first saw that on  the infinity forums, you might want to have a look over there.

I got mine from here:

The page also has the blank templates that you could use to make your own (with different art).

Well found Chromedog.

The blank option is best and maybe one could print one's own signage onto transparency sheets and then add LED lights which might also work.

I did make these, but I was inspired by Tommy Gun :)
Here's them on my thread (including a link to a pdf with the designs):

Plain white paper works fine.
