You can also go to Staples and have them reduced down to whatever scale your'e modeling.

I model in HO,so if I download a billboard from Billboards of the Past or Flick'r,I take along an HO Scale billboard and ask the clerk to help me.

It generally sets me back.50-1.00 and theyr'e very helpful,unlike FedEx/Kinko's.

i love the signs but want to know how do i go about making them small im in ho scale any help

Copy & Paste into MS Publisher, MS Word or other photo edit program. You then can crop & resize the signs you want.

I'm working on a new scene for the layout, adding a "Department of Public Works" at one end of my yard.  I printed out some of your building flats and made up some low relief background buildings...

I'll be looking forward to seeing some more!

Lee that PW Garage looks like the MODOT (Missouri Department of Transportation) facilitys here. I enjoy making up the buildings & will be using them on my layout also. I put the buildings in a tread of its own  http://cs.trains.com/TRCCS/forums/t/190349.aspx 

I would love to see how others are using the flat buildings & signs I find.  Lets see those photos!

The sad thing is when I convert the MS Publisher files into jpg files so I can put them on photobucket they lose detail & even more when posted on the forum. When I print from my MS Publisher file I get a better print than if I copy & print off the forum. If anyone knows a free site that I can post & share the MS Publisher files everone would have access to a better print copy.
