discussion WW2 road signs/telegraph poles

[Guest]

Hello guys,


I am starting my first model base today and am looking to model a tiger I tank at a crossroads during operation market garden.


I want to add either a telegraph pole, roadsign or a combination of both.


I have been trying to do some research and like the look of the far left pole in the image below.

1) any ideas or tutorials for creating such an object ?


2) any good references to make the sign.. I would like it to contain some accurate text lol


3) what height should I be looking at for a 1/72 scale ?


Hope the questions are not too vague.

There are plenty of 1/72/20mm scale telegraph poles.


Revell, Airfix and almost every scale railway company make them.

Hi Josh,


maybe this helps, its in 1/35 but if you print it at 48,6% it should be around 1/72 scale,


1/48 scale is 73%


1/76 scale is 46%


Cheers Richi
