‘Antiqued signs’ and Foam monument

Posted by Leigh on 2 December 2005 at 04:40

Figured I would post a little bit of work – don’t think I’ve posted much of anything until now 🙄

All of the ‘antiqued’ type signage was painted by John
just a hobby really…..using typical craft type paint and a stain type thingy (see how much I know about this lol) to age it after sanding and beating it up. 🙂
Projected and traced onto substrate

Monument was installed this past weekend.
Had a bitch of a time with the kerning on this one. Their logo and color choices….so had to work with it. Eventual landscaping will be KEY here. It’s just so bare. Wooden blocks still underneath – until cement set up.
Install went well.
Subbed out to FSI – great to work with.
The community was happy with it 😉

Yeah good ones Leigh. The ‘brick’ wall monument thingy will look even better when they get some grass growing.

I like the Billiards one the bestest (real word!).

The ‘old’ style signs are really very nice Leigh, (they really do look old) and the monument sign looks great.

You all seem to use a lot of foam over there-does it not deteriorate, or am I thinking of something else???
