I have seen so many tutorials and vids about weathering but the toothpick trick never seen it before but love it. I am going to have to steal it from you.
Great classical technique. Love your stuff. Enjoyable and relaxing video. The one thing I would add is if you buy signage sheets, shot photos of signs from real life situations, or clip out historic ads for old magazines copy the ads to a PDF file. NOT FOR RESALE. But for your own use long term. Many has been the time when I wanted just the right sign for a scene, but I had used the last one from the sheet. Or worse yet I damaged the sign while cutting, gluing, or weathering. There goes the sign. With a computer and printer/scanner I can easily print as many copies as I need or wish for pennies.

Awesome video. Is there an updated product to the winsor & newton designers gouache series 1 burnt umber? Just wondering if it’s a very old stock and where to find it, I think I have the oil based product but would prefer the water based as you use. Thanks
Hi Ardith - I hope I'm not sticking my nose where it's not wanted or needed... but if you Google 'old-fashioned signs' you'd be amazed what what comes up. 'Old-Time Catalogs', 'Old-Time Ads' and such are rich with good examples. And if you (or younger members of the family) are into graphics programs like (I despise Adobe for their business practises, but...) Photoshop you can very easily create your own signs, slogans, etc. Pinterest may be another good source of images. Ron has used some great techniques to get us started, and there are tons more ways to do this type of work. The best thing I can say is; Michelangelo
This was great! Curious, Is fosscalemodeles the on only place to find chip board and transfer tape (haven’t checked hobby lobby, Lowe’s, etc., yet)? Did you print your signs on regular printing paper? Thanks for sharing these techniques...
Yes, you can get the chip board in different sizes at Uline but you have to purchase in bulk. You can get the transfer tape at Fos Scale and Railroad Kits. I am not aware of any retail stores that carry it. Thanks for watching my videos!

You are so welcome!
Well done ... always things to learn.

So helpful. I’ve always wondered how to make signs don’t look like they’re glued to the side of the building.
Glad it was helpful!
EXcellent...nice work.

Michael’s Crafts should have them. I purchased my years back. They last forever so only need to buy one.
Dollar General Store, if you have them in your area, also has those in their makeup section for nail care.
Thanks for the info!
👍👍👍
Very clever, sir, and thank you. May I ask where you found the digital files for the signs? Cheers, Ardith

@@thomream1888 Hi Thom. Thanks so much! I will go ahead and conduct these searches and perhaps create my own as well. Cheers, Ardith
You can find them online. Tons of options

Where did you find the signs you used in the video?
I found them on one of the railroad forums. The Modelers Forum has a page dedicated to signs.
Would you please post the link to the double sided transfer tape? I couldn't find it anywhere. thx
