Pre-Worboys Road Signs - Derby, UK

thingiverse

This is a model I've designed of a pre-Worboys road sign that was once installed in Derby, UK. The original sign has been removed for several years now. I created it for a project I'm working on but it could also be fascinating to model railway enthusiasts, road enthusiasts, and others with similar interests. It is modeled in 1:1 scale so that I could follow the old design guidelines precisely, and I suspect I will need to reduce it to 25% size when printing so that it will fit on my printer.

I used the image attached as a reference, which was taken in October 2011 by Mark of Flickr (https://www.flickr.com/photos/61719529@N07/8327767261/). I used the "Report of the departmental committee on traffic signs, 1944" as a design reference. Although some guessing involved, since this style of Pre-Worboys sign isn't depicted.
