What I meant was I could use a Mamiya 645 of a friend, or buy one on eBay for very little money.
Quite a good idea. I thought you'd be going for a (nice, but pricey) rangefinder (mamiya 7).
..where I live (Berlin) proper scans cost a fortune. We don't have deals for dev & scan like you do in the UK.
I see. This is sad - there used to be ton. Scanning sucks.
Definately unsure I'm following
If you want the prints large I guess you want to bring out detail and the textures of the road and paint? If that's what your after an fx dslr would give you the greatest clarity.
I think your markings shots are perhaps most interesting as a set. A number of prints displayed together.
They are very simple, graphic photos so I'd instinctively go to small formats to try; A zine, Instax actually has the right field of view so might be fun to try (and it's medium format) ;-)
I was suggesting an instagram feed because many are dedicated to a specific type of shots, such as collections road markings! Instagram is great for these types of things - many users have a feed for colour 35mm and another for bw, or mood shots, portraits etc.
I hope I have explained myself.

Have never used one so far but if I can get access to, say, a Mamiya 7 I would love to have a go.
That being said - 99% of what I shot in the past was done with SLRs, so that's kinda my thing.
With medium format the mirrored image is an issue sometimes of course, but on the other hand these huge matte screens are such a joy they make me drool.If you want the prints large I guess you want to bring out detail and the textures of the road and paint. If that's what your after a decent digital full-frame dslr would be good.
Yeah I got one (Nikon D3) - alas it's only 12MP, so it's 30x40cm max, rather 20x30 @ 300dpi..
I consider selling it and buying a D750 instead but it really is a shit decision.I think the shots are interesting as a set. A number of prints displayed together, perhaps even as a zine.
Yea cheers, glad you like them. It's probably the series I enjoyed shooting most in 2015.
Definately need to find a nice way to display them.They are very simple graphic photos. I'd instinctively go to small formats like polaroid or a dedicated instagram feed.
..weren't you just saying that they would look good big ?
: ]I don't do instagram really, but there's a flickr album, or the option to view the tumblr by the appropriate tag.
It's not ideal I know, definately have to work on displaying my work..
