    we were really pleased how this sign turned out, especially as we only had just over a week to make and install it, the main body is a fabricated steel chasis faced with butler finish di bond, the end forms are rolled polished s/steel, the letters acrylic built up channel letters, all the neon is flashing stepping etc.

    cheers everyone,

    installation took the best part of a day, the complete sign minus glass and end rolls, was hoisted onto the fixings, then the main time was fitting the glass and completing the wiring, suprisingly over 100m of HT 10 transformers and 2 controllers.

    We’ve got a fairly hefty cherry picker which lifts signs like this with no problems.

    Absolutely fantastic 😮 Your usual quality stuff Craig, very impressive.

    Thanks for showing us.

    I am still getting great reports about the neon you supplied me, that amber is just so warm and bright, perfect for the tanning shop.

    Cheers
