After seeing Cadmonkeychics stained plastic gb logo, which i must say is amazing and alot better than what your about to see.
I Knocked this up in a couple of hours, This is only a prototype, i should of spent more time getting the logo right, the wood i used is also crap, and in the pic the varnish isnt dry.
but if i make a couple of goodens, any1 interested?
i made a rough frame border for it,
ok, wat do you think, would it be better in colour,?
It’s pretty cool, has a strange rustic feel to it. I think it might look better in color.
Or if you’re really skilled making a mini sign like the ones hung outside the firehouse, vac-forming in and selling it so we could have light up GB signs… THAT i’d buy.
I think it looks awesome how it is. Great job dude!
Cheers Ecto Trk,
i went out and bought myself some decent wood 2day, so hopefully by 2moro ill have a couple of good quality 1s to show you.
regarding the GB sign DAN, yes great idea and i know i would buy 1, tho alot of hard work to carve a 3D logo out of solid wood,
i will get to work on it, i dont know how long it will take me but i will have ago, plus ive gota find somewhere with a vac machine.
anyway ill paint a sign for you.
i like seeing the wood grain, I’d stain it red white black etc. The colors would be weak enough to let the grain show through. If you paint it solid, it might as well be done on some other material. and by the way…I love it.
I was thinking about it when I saw your sign. One way I was thinking it could be done is if you cut thin pieces of luan and layered them up and filled it in with bondo, sand down and burn in the details. Move it to a vac former and bam. GB signs.
Still though, I know how hard it is to do stuff like this. It’s very cool.
i was hoping to get some pics up of my latest signs, but im waiting for the varnish to dry,
Thanks Uni, and soon as your the artist ill treat your word as God lol. ill get some some other varnishes.
Dan
yes that is a way and would be relatively easy, but if i use MDF wood, its incredibly easy to carve soons as its only sawdust and glue,
ill work on it bit by bit, because ill probably rush it and chop the ghosts head of or something stupid lol
this is a cool niche for you. As you make more, you’ll only get better and faster. Plus you could offer different finishes. Painted, natural or stained. good luck with your venture!
im gonna need it lol, cheers
ok i have about 4 ready to be painted/ stained. i sanded the ghost and varnished the no sign, on this 1 just to give you an idea.
Dan, ive been carving away at this, is this wat you have in mind,
and in another light.
so if i mount it on a square back board, and get this vac formed, hopefully it should look ok.
cool project. keep it up governor!
Sweet man! Where are you thinking of putting it when you’re done with it?
how about making some vacuformed pulls from that? I’ll buy that for a dollar!
That is really very very cool.
Yer that is the idea, Dan aka wanted me to make a mini gb sign like they have hanging outside the firehouse, ill get it vac formed, then ill wire in some LEDs, if it goes well, ill be happy 2 sell them, but unfortunately not 4 a dollar,
Mjollnir, basically im going to mount it on a liitle square, so it looks exactly like the gb sign, ill see how this goes because ill probably wanna do a GB2 version aswell.
cheers Uni and Dan.
just finding out who has a vac machine,
OK, heres the final version of my engraved sign, ive stained the wood, but sanded the ghost for him to stand out, ive drawn the ghost more acurate this time around.
before i post this in the for sale forum, heres your chance to email me, to get first grabs at these, i have four ready and waiting, im also thinking about doing a stay puft and the gb2 logo.
great job! These turned out wonderful, and very unique. Since these are hand made, no two signs are alike. hope they sell well for you.
I’ll buy that for a dollar…Robocop reference…sorry!
once again thanks UNI, for ya support and comments.
hawaiiangb, thats ok lol, but i am trying to make these as cheap as possible but, still worth the money.
i am working on mr stay puft, slimer and gb2 logo i shall update soon.
ok heres the different versions you can order, these versions will apply to all other designs i do, im working out price and shipping costs, before i post this in the for sale forum.
The more you do this the better and better your rendition of your logo is. I know I told you in PM, but publicly speaking, I endorse this.
thank you Dan.
ive just done my stay puft design, i havent stained it yet, just engraved,
i want your opinions on the face, shall i leave him with the nasty face, or do the happy face when you first see him,
i know his left hand is a bit wrong, il redraw that when i do more orders.
