It is better to scan the stickers from the original sheet than to take measures, from experience. And while we're here, it is utterly important to scan the sheet in 300dpi, otherwise you'll get issues with the dimensions when printing. (We had that kind of issue when I made stern stickers for Erwin…)

Scanning would be ideal, but I'm not sure if anyone has the older decals still on the sheet.

I do I do I do.

I'll scan them later at the office and send them to you Ismene. Pm me your email address.  :)

It's the Hotel I have still in the original sheet.
Anyway, I scanned these. Maybe they work like that.





Just in case you need some reference the length of the sign is 23.3 cmts. I scaanned them at 100% but they look a little bigger in the screen. Maybe if I send you the files you'll get it better.

let me know.  :wave:

Thanks for the scans. I think I can work off of those. If anyone wants to check to see if this will fit properly, let me know.

ETA: I had font indecision. I think the 2nd one might be better.
The general store has changed hands.  ;)

I like the second one better for the post office. That's hilarious with the general store! :lol: I really like it though.

I had a little trouble working with the scan of the saloon sign, so hopefully the proportions are okay.

I'm thinking for the printable files, I'll need to expand the outer borders a bit, so there's no white edge when they are cut out.
