    It’s so cool to have been at a real life place, then see it reproduced in HO scale. Great job!

    Hello I love your sign making videos. These videos inspired me to do my own. I have a few questions if you can answer I do not have the post pieces you have

    Can you also use toothpicks I own toothpicks they look wooden and I have acrylic silver paint to paint them.
    To make the signs i do a different technique. I make them in Adobe illistrator using the shape tool and text tool, finding the font that is used for traffic signs and scaling the font to the shape and scaling the whole layout of the sign . I also use different color swatches to fill the shapes like faded colors and bright colors. I'm making them incase I own a model railroad in the future but also use it for my christmas village and matchbox and hot wheels cars but I also love the hobby. I print them out on plain paper and cut them out and I want to paint the back of the cutouts gray acrylic paint. Is that a good idea to do. Or will something happen with the paint and the paper
