and if not, you probably know someone who does. So scan the
kit signs to a digital image.
I’m going to show you how simple it is and how realistic the
results will be. If you’re like me, you probably have been sav-
ing signs and posters for your models for a while, so you
should have a nice selection. Above are the signs I chose for
this tutorial.
Tools
The tools you will need are:
Color ink jet or color laser printer
Hobby knife with a new blade
Straightedge for cutting
3M mending tape (the type that looks frosted)
Tape measure or ruler
Regular printer paper
White glue or matte medium (either one mixed 50/50 with
wet water)
Lint-free cloth (an old T-shirt)
Airbrush
50/50 mix of Testors Dullcote
Tissue paper, the type used for gift wrap.
Artist tracing paper or architectural tracing paper
OK, let’s get started ...
