I have some questions.
How big were german propaganda posters in ww2,
and how big I have to make them in 1/35.

Thanks in advance,

Greetz Rob!

i think its verlinden that makes a set, if so you could go to their site and make measurements, i'm guessing about....3/4 in, by 1 inch. but i've never tried it

thanks a lot Shain,

Greetz Rob!

also plus models makes various propaganda poster sets. I see em on e-bay all the time..

rob, i was thinking, and it doesnt have to be exact measurements, if you were to make your own that is. just look at the size of a regular poster and compare it to your body, usually its about as long as your torso...and a little wider.

if you were to buy them instead of making them, it wouldnt be a bad purchase

Probably 1" by 2/3" assuming about 36" by 24" for the originals, I would bet that there were various sizes used during the war

Scale is relative, I have found them in all shapes and sizes. Some were even printed in smaller formats. In general the size would have been 1"x3/4". Some were much smaller equivelant to like an 11"x17".

thanks guys,
and 1" is 2,56cm (tell me if i'm wrong)

Greetz Rob!

It is 2,54cm, and usually taken as 2,5 cm.

Greetz Rob!

Check out the DIN (Deutsche Industrie Norm = german industrie norm) measurements of paper sizes here:
http://www.zdv.uni-mainz.de/449.html

I guess you all know the DIN-A4 as standard size for letter-paper.
Although the DIN-norms didnt exist during that time the size of bigger poster should be near to DIN-A3 up to DIN-A1 (dont wonder - the smaller the number is the bigger the measurements are)
To get the size for 1/35 simply divide through 35...

thanks a lot Ekke,
