Nationernes Gade II Holand 1918

Here is a finished Nationernes Gade Holland matchbox model.
Nationernes Gade II Holand 1918-ngs-holland-002.jpg Nationernes Gade II Holand 1918-ngs-holland-003.jpg

I found a vintage matchbox cover from The Netherlands and put it on a matchbox I made from this website: BoxTemplate Maker
using 67 lb/176 gsm card stock. Click on the matchbox icon at the top between the mailer and milk carton icon.

The settings I used are:
Length: 56 mm
Width: 36 mm
Height: 15 mm
Material Thickness: 0.2 mm
Clearance: 0.5mm
Glue Flap Size: 12 mm
Glue Flap Angle: 85

It was saved as a png.

Nice! Are you planning on building all eight models in the series?

Yes, eventually I will build them all. I have been collecting matchbox covers from the countries that they all represent.

Very cute, Doug. Have you been collecting matchboxes for a long time?

No, not actual matchboxes. I guess that earlier statement is misleading. I have been finding graphics of vintage matchbox covers online and using them to put on the matchbox png files. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Although I do have a book of matches somewhere from a Bilbo Baggins Pub. But that was so many years ago I forget where I got it or where it is now.
