does your layout need some sex appeal?

I remember seeing such ladies displaying their "wares" from their window fronts while I was on a train on the elevated portion approaching Brussels Gare du Midi- there's a prototype for everything!

Talk about the IBTC :)

 

I remember that the LHS has a set of Mooners.

 

Funny you mention that. I saw that set at "The Train" room just last Monday while stopping in Hagerstown to see a friend.

ok here is all you need to make the signs to convert a tomytec shop into an adult 'toy' shop!

love shots like this that you can easily lift signs off of to make your own! making the mannequin will be fun, guess paint a figure black then paint on the skimpies, time to get out the big magnifying glass.

I have a number of such building signs made from photos I took in Tokyo.  The interesting thing to me, and the modelling challenge, is the street level clutter of signs, etc in front of the shops.  This is something I hope to add to my layout in the years ahead.

curt,

 

oohh perfect for those signs! love your sleazy looking barker there at the front door!

 

yes those tiny signs are the ticket. we need to make a set of etched brass or laser cut chipboard fold over sign holders like you see everywhere around front doors. the little tomytec plastic ones are a bit pudgy. hey that would make a perfect tomytec visual scene collection to add onto the vertical banner and balloon set and other sign sets!

 

wish etched brass was a bit simpler/cheaper to do as its a great way to make little things like this!

 

cheers
