Pre War Advertising; Decorating walls the lazy way!

I've admitted before that I'm not a great doer of terrain, and try to keep things as simple as possible. I've got a couple of ruins but felt the walls were a bit bare. In movie magazines like Empire (for us in the UK at least) there are ads for geeky film nerd T shirts (rather than simply Evil Dead, we get "Shop Smart, Shop S-Mart" for instance) with all sorts of cool designs often shown in little squares that that make them ideal for old pre war advert posters stuck on walls and just sort of left there.

Once they were cut out and stuck on, I went over them with a yellow wash (whatever the hell GW has renamed yellow these days) to give them an aged look.

Yeah, I've got the same idea set aside for use. Due to my daughter buying a couple of Rock posters I now have a good collection of potential wall coverings for a record store, or a bar, or a motorcycle club hangout. If ya Google around for 1/4 doll houses ya cant get images of rugs, wall papers, newspapers, and etc.

Cheers guys. Funnily enough, I was looking at the porn movie page for other "adverts". At least, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it... :D

Google poster pictures too. I will give you all sorts of pictures. All you have to do is add some slogans.

My other favourite is to go to offensive T shirt sites and down load the pictures. A quick crop and you have a instant poster....
