The images on screen are about HO billboard size, although he might not take too kindly to people nabbing them for free! I'd suggest asking permission, and maybe buying a copy of his coffee-table book.

Speaking about people that model the 40's-60's, has anyone modeled Burma Shave avertisements?

Billboards from the past

Here is a gentleman with a website having billboards from the past.

They are 8 1/2 x 19 ft, supposedly all orginals. Suppose he would discount for HO scale price ?  Price / 87 Wink [;)]
