Hi,
I've been looking online for some Aussie ho signs.
I have found some and they look good ,
But have found for example 1 pack has the corner and one way signs and then another pack has stop and give way etc.
They are only $6.95 a pack but alot of them I won't use.
I've seen Luke towans video on how toake your own but at the moment my laptop is on the blink and can only use my phone.

Does anyone know anywhere better/cheaper to get them ?
Or has anyone got any saved to there computer they might share .
Thanks mark

I managed to copy most of the ones I need to the laptop ,
But trying to resize in paint and also put multiple on one page to print

Tank Creations on Facebook does a heap at very reasonable prices.  He did some special requests ones for me.  Lachlan is his name.  Well worth a look.
Otherwise, Dept of Transport website.  Copy and paste into a publisher document, resize, and print on thin cardstock.  I have a file with a few I can forward to you if you wish.  I measured up a heap of roadsigns to get real life measurements, I am certain other motorists must have wondered what I was up to lol

Hi Sinn City.

I copied a heap off a sign maker site but am struggling with the resizing lol.

If u have any already at the right size (ho),
Would u mind fowarding them to me ,
Cheers mark

Hello Mark,

I found the following link

https://www.google.com.au/search?q=australian+road+signs&client=ubuntu&hs=PWi&channel=fs&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjotv21kO3UAhXBI5QKHe3bBhEQ_AUICigB&biw=933&bih=436

which will give you the signs. Copy and paste these into your drawing programs

I use Libre Office/Open Office (totally free at https://www.libreoffice.org) and use the Drawing bits with the rulers to get the sizes I want for building fronts for my backdrops and walls for the 3D buildings I have done and you are aware of. You could apply the same techniques to these signs. You could use Publisher and Word the same way!  Make the signs a bit smaller and you could force perspective and make the scene look bigger!

Hope this helps

Trevor

Awesome ,
Thanks trevor

Nice share Trevor. Wonder why they never showed the railway on side road Railway crossing ahead signs? I guess like most, they never noticed them

You mentioned backdrop buildings. I once had a site saved that had many background building shots, but I cannot find them. Lots of lineside buildings and truck train type pictures.
You dont by chance have directions to them?
Cheers

Thanks Rod and Mark,

I saved a number of Tomkats buildings from both the Model Railroader and Trainboard sites which is just as well as Photobucket are now charging and consequently have blocked access. I do have a number of these but not the entire set somewhere on my computer. I could email some to you directly to see if they are the same ones ... xdford47@yahoo.com.au

You can see some of what I have done on http://yourmodelrailway.net/view_topic.php?id=9679 and scroll down to get some of Toms fronts into 3D buildings. I did change some of the labels to suit local needs...  see if they suit!

I find Open Office/Libre Office easier to manipulate the pics and overlay local signs etc

As for the crossing on the side road sign, you could take a picture yourself of one and scale it down... should be fairly straight forward...

Cheers

Trevor
