We love putting big signs on our walls, whether they're ones that came with a kit or ones that you print from your home printer. This technique is the same whether you make and print custom signs or use the ones from the kits.
The great thing about this technique is that by sanding the paper signs super thin, it shows a ton of wall detail that you would otherwise lose if left unsanded.
The rip gives it some real life wear and tear character.
Great! I really liked your narrative that encourages newbies. We encounter "oops" all the time, and you made lemonade. Excellent end product!
Just tried this and wow it works great! Never thought of sanding the back side if the paper!
¡Hola buenas tardes Wiley! Only just discovered your channel whilst looking for white metal painting techniques. Your barrel painting video tutorial was perfect! I’m getting used to the different material terms you guys use over there and, great to see enthusiastic comments from your viewers and subscribers. I model OO scale, here in The Garage in Spain however, the scenic item construction techniques work perfectly for me. As ever, take care and, stay safe. Un saludo. Gary
Cool idea 😮 Thanks for sharing 👍
Nice tutorial, looks awesome.
Nicely done!

Awesome technique. What is the siding made of?
It's actually made from cut up thin chipboard, just sponge painted to look worn and rusted & weathered the way it appears. Thin like a cereal box thickness cardboard, and cut into scale sizes about 4'x8' to scale.
@@WileysScaleModeling ,thin chipboard, when you say chipboard do you mean MDF or OSB boards?
@@seanspennywisemiserrr Yeah, when we reference chipboard we're just talking about cardboard... Basically it's the cheap cardboard that cereal boxes are made from.
@@WileysScaleModeling ah, that makes more sense lol
Do you use laser or ink printer for those sign? I guess that ink printed signs will be pretty messed up when wet.

We actually use an inkjet! Ours doesn't run much and we think it's because it's a heavier glue than water mix.
@@WileysScaleModeling Okej, thank you, then I have to try that technic. JF.
I've not yet try to sandpaper down the signs. But I tried printing on silk paper, a technic that Luke Towan/ boulder creek railroad used in a Video.
