ok... i am convinced...that sign truly is big... but needs to be big...subtlety is not in the vocabulary of a salesman it seems

and i suspect someone is not a church follower if they used such a bracket skalk... at least it is not a bruning cross^^

Meh..some people (like me) just aren't "symbol-minded"

Nah, it looks good as is, and yeah , funny bracket base there.

hurhurhur...er...whut?...

It's an Old George Carlin stand-up bit

Carlin for the win

The upside down cross reminds me of one of my old bosses. I pointed out a displayed that came in that formed a swastica of an off brand BBQ sauce. The sauce was a African American man on the bottle, so it was pretty poorly done and very visible. He said he used to do things like that when he worked in marketing and built visual displays. Not anti semantic or anything, but would copy symbols into his designs. He and over guys he worked with would try and outdo each other with hiding their designs in plain sight.

The floor and dome of our courthouse has swastikas in the art, of course, it was built in the 1800s before that symbol was adopted for that other thing...

Carlin loving americans, my favorite type!

@B

Forgot to mention my flight home passed over your house dave. Thought about dropping in, but they probably wouldn't let me open the door , and I was in the window seat, my wife would ask me here I was going as well.

I waved at you!
Glad you had a safe trip man!

A new Costco opened here, we went..it was a strange experience, but I waved to you from the parking lot. I was driving a shopping cart the size of a '78 Buick

I got a cheap Chinese hobby knife set, and 44 slices of the best NY SHarp Cheddar cheese I've ever tasted in my entire life.

Dave, I didn't reply on LAF, but if you have other signs you want templates for, by all means let me know.

I've attached a little mock up of a support structure that I have seen before with billboards. It is the bit in yellow. Simple bar across the middle of the window would work. Add a support line going up to the upper part of the building and you're set.

Inward opening windows is how that all works!

THat's a fantastic idea Taarnak! I'll play with that, I may even build one off to the side. We'll see.

I'll send you a bill

Man now I wish I had taken that pic of bill Clinton at the wax museum you'll just have to settle for me paying off George W, at his new job as parking vallet.


Edit: or not, still figuring out photobucket.

Lol...these bills I could live with...

Fixed - copy the IMG code and paste straight into Dakka as is...

Edit: The pose is classic - love the charge card exchanging hands - make sure you keep an eye on him though so he doesn't clone it

Haha That's Funny Theo!

Scary image there Theo

5 days of no Dave, I hope he is okay

Dave's fine, My 5mm letters arrived on saturday. They seem to be the perfect size.

Nice, now the part where you wind up carefully placing them for the sign. Pics will look great I am sure.

Actually, they are on a sprue, so I haven't decided whether painting them black before gluing them will really be worth the hassle of touching them up or not.


HOLY CRAP!
I just realized there won't be enough letters to do both sides!
need 6 Es and 8 Rs
Maybe I can get lucky and chop/replace some letters like the spare P- We'll see. Of course some letters may have fallen off somehow too

Yeah i'd go with some randomly dropped letters Dave! :-) it is meant to be post apoc style isn't it?

I never really noticed before, but there's more than one Cornucopia. I think it's because I'm looking more at the architecture than I used to.

Also, after how ever many hundred hours of play, I actually found somewhere I've never been before; Falls Church. That was nice.

Nothing wrong with the odd missing letter Dave.

odd missing letters or someone switching the sign around to say bugger off or something along those lines.

By the way i'm in season 5 of fringe. Enjoyed the first 4 tremendously, not liking the pace of this season so far. I don't know if this was the planned end of the show, or if the writing tanked it, but I'm now ready for it to be done.

Just make some missing letters it is fallout after all. Not everything can survive the apocalypse. You will have enough E's but maybe the R's were structurally sound enough to survive the apoc.
