Check out this new article in the Combat Zone chronicles on making bill boards.

Combat zone billboards article

Looks a interesting technique and I think I may be tempted to give this a go. I have plenty of old gift cards knocking about. :D

That's pretty cool I might have to try that. Don't those signs sometimes have a little platform on them too? I'm sure I've seen that somewhere.

Some billboards do have catwalks on either side for maintaining/changing the signs. Some also have a row of lights across the top or along the outer edge of the catwalk for lighting the signs at night.

Here is a similar article at TerraGenesis, albeit a bit more complex.
