28mm magazines, newspapers?
« on: January 23, 2023, 01:56:41 PM »
The last time I was involved in pulp gaming, I built a nice newsstand from scraps.  Now that I’m back into it, I need to spruce the model up.  Where can I find FREE 1940s newspapers and magazines in o scale?

I did a couple quick Google Image searches, using "1940s newspapers" and "1940s magazines" as my search criteria.  A whole slew of front pages and magazine covers came up.  I reckon you could save the images, and scale and print them as needed using something like MS Paint or the equivalent.

That turned out great, the papers add a lot of visual interest.
