Signposts that give a scene both a place and an army

A signpost at the edge of a village is a detail that tells the viewer in a second where the scene is set and who came through last. After the landings, Allied units marked their routes very densely: arrows to a dressing station, boards with division numbers, direction signs to a headquarters and signs hastily painted on a plank. Without that kind of marking, even a carefully built street looks like an empty set with no story.

The contents are a color print on stiff paper measuring 19 x 13 cm. The individual boards are cut out and glued to posts of your own from wire, a skewer or plastic section, so you can match the height and angle of each sign to the terrain. Thicker paper stays flat and does not curl, which is the usual trouble with thin prints.

Where such marking belongs

  • at the junction of a field track, where the wheel ruts come together
  • by a barrier or a checkpoint at the entrance to a village
  • on the trunk of a tree and on the wall of a house, where signs were nailed up directly
  • by a vehicle park, where several of them stood side by side

Before gluing it pays to tint the back of the sheet, so that light does not show through the paper, and to go over the cut edges with a dark pencil. Light dirtying with pigment at the foot of the post ties the sign to the ground and rids it of the look of a piece of stuck-on paper. The rendering matches 1:35 scale. The range is divided by individual theaters, so for a particular scene you can choose exactly the form of marking that really stood in that place.

FAQ

They are not. The sheet carries only the printed boards. The modeler makes the supporting post from wire, a skewer or plastic section, depending on how high the sign is to stand.

The printed sheet measures 19 x 13 cm and is produced as a color print on stiff paper.

The subjects match the period of the Second World War on the Western Front. For later scenes you can use only the boards with no specific military purpose.

Tinting the back of the sheet, going over the cut edges with a dark pencil and lightly dusting the foot of the post with pigment all work well, so that the sign merges optically with the ground.
