Mini Roadside Advertising Sign - 1:16 Scale

Just dropped: An even smaller, 1:87 (HO Scale) Traffic Message Board! 

 

Had a ton of fun with the Traffic Message Board watching what everyone was making with it + was inspired by those old style flashing arrow roadsigns and wondered if I could make a mini, removable letter version. Note: The print profile has both LEFT and RIGHT pointing frames.

All the letters are printed right on the bed and are made thin enough that they just flex into place on the sign on one of the four rows. It does help to bend them slightly so they click in. I also purposefully made them a little too large so they all bow out a tiny bit (just like on real signs). It also makes them easier to remove one by one. 

 

The print profile for the alphabet characters has multiples of most letters based on the general distribution of letters in common written English. That way there should be enough E's and T's if anything… I did use an AMS though the letters and the backings are different solids so it may be possible to do it without an AMS. 

 

Print as many rounds as you like, they can all be stored inside the frame when the sign slides on:

 

 

 

Enjoy!

 

EDIT: New plate added to the print profile to include a frame version with no arrow
