discussion Making scale signs, any ideas?

[Guest]

The reason I started this thread was I am doing a model with US soldiers from the Vietnam war and after some research I cannot find any product that sells signs, billboards etc. for the Vietnam War.

I was wondering if anyone knows an inexpensive technique on making signs from scratch?

If you can find good pictures of them, you can scale them down and print them off. I did see a set of posters and magazine pin ups somewhere and although most were WWII, I am sure there were some Vietnam (could have been Korea) period but I cannot for the life of me remember where I saw them on the net.

EDIT: This link has some stuff, maybe not exactly what you are looking for although some of the film posters go back to that period.

What exactly is it that you do need?

EDIT of EDIT: This site has some political posters from Vietnam, could easily be printed for weathering and sticking on walls

I would of thought a quick Google of 'Vietnam - war- Ho-Chi-Min - or try some of the film titles for Vietman war films. Should be able to find loads that way then just save crop and print out.
