Im have been looking to build one of these for a very very long time. Huge thanks to gbfhs and Marty120704 for there build, ref pics and the models they made!
So i have divided this projects in a couple of Fases.
Fase I: Building a 3D model.
Fase II: Mill the model out of MDF, and sculpt over the MDF.
Fase III: Vacuum form the model and paint
Fase IV: Build the casing and finish the lighting.
The dimensions are:
5,4cmx 70.9cm x 68.9cm.
or
1.96 x 27.9 x 27.1 inch
The last photo i added a bottle of glass cleaning to show the sign
At this point im at Fase II. I hope you all enjoy the photo’s, any comment at all is really helpfull!
Thanks Spark! I will do my best to make you proud!
Today the goal was to clear the sign of all the wood surrounding it and building up some shapes in plaster.
I did had a two tiny mistakes with the table-saw, but nothing to major I cant fix.
After that it was off the sculpts the shapes in clay, its clearly not done, but im kinda happy with the overall shape of it. I do need to trim the hight of the sculpt down a bit.
I would love to hear your comments on how i could improve the shape.
I havent been on here for a while and i have just seen your work, it looks really good, it brings back memories of pain when i was creating my sign (all that filling and sanding). Have you gotten any further ? I love to see more progress pics!
