HO Scale 16' Billboard Legs

thingiverse

This leg set is intended to support a billboard on an HO Scale model railroad. Create a piece of art work 2.20" tall (16 scale feet in HO) and as wide as necessary for the image you wish to affix to the billboard. Print the image on white Waterslide decal paper or card stock. Take the height of the artwork (2.20"), add 0.22" and cut a piece of Evergreen 9030 or 9040 to height, and 0.22" longer than the length of the artwork. Create a frame out of Evergreen 8210 and glue it around the edges of the sheet styrene, and place the artwork inside the frame. The legs should be separated by about an inch and then glued to the back of the face frame Once dried, a piece of Evergreen 8210 placed across the back legs will lend stability. The horizontal extensions across the front are designed to support a boardwalk, which is also available on Thingiverse. A complete description of the technique is available on my web site at http://daackm.github.io.
