Does anyone make town/shop signs in 15mm for the old west? I hate lettering and some bits of paper to glue on would improve my life greatly…. and if they fit the Peter Pig buildings, all the better… |

Try these, they are 28mm but that just means that instead of small 28mm signs they are large 15's. |

Someone forgot to link, anyway. I made my signs. I got some cheap balsa wood from a hobby store. Then found some linen paper from another hobby store and printed up a sign I wanted using a western font.
Then I made frames out of the balsa wood using an exacto knife and glue.
I used a brown ink wash on the frame then glued the sign I made to the back like a painting.
I made about 10 signs in one afternoon. It was pretty easy. Here is a picture of my town, and you can see some of the signs I made. link |

Nice. I had a feeling I'd be making my own but thought I should check…. |

If you have some ability with computers, you can print your own using the different fonts that are available. I did mine years ago and printed them on decal paper. Back in those days my ability with computers was that my daughter had ability with computers. Although I have long since lost the originals/masters, you can see what I did with my Peter Pig building signs at warin15mm.com/Wildwest.html |

I was looking at those earlier, they're very nice indeed. |

Whitewash City has some for only $1.50 USD a set. They are very nice.
