Mmmm....na,na

I do it because is more interesting than a simply "Hotel".

I'm really pleased that John give me his permision to build it. The first idea was a thread to build the "forum's pet", but I suppose the members maybe don't like the idea, and don't take part on it....

I know is a joke Si, but here, there isn't money or nothing similar.

Never entered my head that anything was agreed monetary or otherwise, as you point out, it was just a joke and no offence intended and as you're in the lovely Pyrenees, it is advertising the site over there, as folk will see your wonderful creation. What 'Forum's pet'? Not with you on that one, is that like members would create an animal or something that is a symbol of SMF? Or am I way off, usually am.

BTW, I've heard that John wants to change the name of the forum, something like "international forum for plastic and resin plane, train, car, ships and figures modeling".

Thanks John

You made a good job of the first part of the sign Polux. I would of cheated big time and cut them out of thick plexiglass or bought them in an art shop.

Big thumbs up from me amigo.

I found this cardboard letters in an art shop.

I draw and copy on a plastic sheed (it has 1 mm thickness). Then I cut each letter with a scissors.

[ATTACH]79392.IPB[/ATTACH]


With a machine cutter I do a fine strips (5 mm width).

[ATTACH]79393.IPB[/ATTACH]


I use these strips to made the relief on the letter.

[ATTACH]79394.IPB[/ATTACH]


And this is the final result Now need to sand some parts and add mask if there are some mistakes.

Must admit I'm wishing to finish with the letters and start the structure :P
