Free N Scale Signs: Reddy Kilowatt Says Cook Electrically

Yet another free N scale sign.  Just right click and save the image — the right edge will not be cut off when you save it.

This one of the famous Reddy Kilowatt promoting electric cooking. This billboard is very roughly based on a sign that stood in Philadelphia in the early 1950s.  The overall look and message on the billboard is the same with a few changes.

First, I changed the colors from the prototype to match the colors typically used on Reddy in the 40s. The prototype billboard had more of a 50s look where Reddy’s head was blue and his body black with blue highlights. I think most people associate the mascot with the red and yellow scheme.

Also, because the original photo I had was poor, I had to redraw the entire character, so I’ve changed his pose.  Also, in the prototype, Reddy was holding an apple pie that I just couldn’t get right so I left it out entirely. Lastly, I used the “Your Servant of the Century” motto because I just couldn’t read the original text.  For all I know, that’s what it actually said.

This billboard is a bit different than the ones I’ve done previously in that the hat and hand are meant to be cut out.  I haven’t tested this to see how difficult it will be to cut out but if anyones builds this up, be sure to let me know.  I would love to see it.
