Last year, I found a website with a huge assortment of scale version household stuff to download : wallpaper, posters, sigarette packs,...
But I can't find it anymore.
I need stuff to spice up my dio : sigarette packs, coke bottle wrappers, magazine covers, food can wrappers, candy bar wrappers, etc... I could scan 1/1 versions and work on them and then print, but being a lazy person, I try to find a website where I can simply copy them from...
Who can help me out ?



??? Why don't we start a library of such stuff here on Armorama ???

I owe you a drink at our November meeting !

Yes, thanks.

Remains my question : Why don't we publish pages like that on Armorama ? I'm sure if we all work on that for a few days, we can have something wonderful !

I think it would be a great idea to put some of the minni's on this site. All ready in popular scales ready to print, sonds like a good idea to me!

another way is just search for those things on google.
I needed some good maps for my model from lebanon, so just fill in .. lebanon map .. and there you go a lot of maps. even workt for me to cut a traffic border sing from a photo it was right on scale .

I've noticed 1:35 is not available..

What is the best way to use these item in 1:35? Do you just use a different scale and hope nobody makes a fuss, or do you resize them when printing (most modern printer drivers have an option to rescale a document) ?
