hand painted signage: Boston Artstore
This was quite an interesting job, the customer wanted a marble effect fascia board, and was just going to go for vinyl letters until I convinced him to go for the 3D gilded ones, the marbling is a paint effect, and no I dont wear a flouncy shirt and velvet flares and me name ain’t Laurence 😀
Probably took a week on and off to do the sign what with waiting for the paint to dry, total price with the window lettering was £510.Thanks to Paul Rafferty from Ivy Designs for showing me the marble effect

P.S. – took quite a while to load Steve…maybe you could do it as four seperate images, either in a stack or in two’s – side by side?…just a thought….great work regardless 😀

That better Mike 😀 made the raised letters myself, cut from vinyl & stick to your substrate then cut out with a power fret saw. Easy peasy.

Nice job on the raised letters Steve, ….. did you radius the edges with a router…sander..?
You probably didn’t have any beer the night before!
Nice steady cut 😆

PS. what are the letters cut from ………10mm foam?
(?) -

Joe the edges were cut with a router with 45 degree bit, they were cut from 18mm exterior MDF.

excellent work steve. i like the marble effect also!
teh mdf letters… out of curiousity, how did you fix the letters to the faceof the sign? -
Robert, the letters are fixed from the back of the sign panel with screws and the letters are stood off the sign with spacers between letters and sign panel.
