Evenin' all Does anyone know of a source for printable wartime posters? Propaganda, adverts, road signs etc? |

Here's a start: vintagraph.com/collections You'll have to copy the images from the gallery thumbnails as the images on the specific poster pages do an auto-zoom thing. These should work fine if you're just reducing them to scale. I'm not sure about copyright/theft rules in this case. If you're just downloading the previews to print off as tiny little one-inch copies for minis use, it seems ok. If you're actually looking for full-size posters to purchase, well then, this is your site! |

I think the mini anti piracy department is gonna visit you if you hear a knock at the door and see no one, be careful you might step on their agents ;) A google search can also help just add a whole lot onto a page resizing as you go, print cut paste done (Tip,I put a slight orchre tint to cut the whiter than white of normal paper as a frame to the posters as well) cheers, happy gaming |

Here's an easy solution,listing from the US as the UK site is down but you can see what there is……… link Unless you've got access to a laser or works (!) printer the stuff from The Square is cheaper and less hassle no copyright probe or resizing to worry about. |

If you downloaded pictures onto your computer to print by yourself, you can print them on pre-sticky mailing labels so you won't have to glue them separately. (Or for copies of famous paintings for a wartime art theft/recovery scenario.) |

proves that you don't need to be a master painter or invest hundreds of hours working to get good results.
