The search continues for vaguely appropriate details for an 1930’s alternative history. Road signs seemed a good bet, and I had a vague memory of some very distinctive British road signs from my dad’s old toys that I’d played with as a child.
A certain amount of on-line searching revealed a catalogue of old designs as a PDF that could be cut and pasted and printed out on paper. That’s me using technology, that is.
After that it was back to the usual. The printouts were mounted on thin card and the edges hidden using marker pens, which worked pretty well; I’ll have to remember that. The poles were wooden dowels, while the bases are card on steel washers to avoid Horizontal Sign Syndrome.
The red parts should really be a hollow frame but I think some artistic licence can be allowed…
“Sure the red bits are an open frame on the mainland, but here, we do things our way.”
Good idea, or possibly the cost of sending lots of triangles to a rock in the Atlantic was judged too high so they were told to make their own out of wood.
