    Haven’t posted anything for a while, nothing exciting just thought I would show and get some crits so I can continue improving (presuming that I am improving :lol1: 🙄 )

    cheers

    Wow, Warren, you have been busy!
    Believe it or not, my fave is the one which says Old Kennels.
    I like things to be plain and simple.
    None of these are boring tho!
    Love….Jill

    Well done Warren,

    Good selection of work…

    The Coffee House is lovely,

    The Old kennels sign is good, but you should always have a smaller space at the top to the bottom, If the words ‘ Old Kennels Lane’ was raised about 30mm it would be spot on.

    First sign, pictures and wording should be reduced to create a greater border….glad they dug the holes:)

    Lettering on a couple of the vans could come down in size by 10-20%.

    On the whole pretty good and yes you are heading the right way.

    Yeah, good stuff Warren. I agree with Jill about the Old Kennels. It’s simple but very classy and classic looking. 😀

    some nice stuff warren :thumbup2:
    bet the TG vans were a thinker with three diff coloured vans and all different models
    with the navara i would have taken the badges off and used the space

    well nice warren.

    what please was the material used for the prints on the vivaros as when fitted will have to have been stretched, because of the two angles of the panel.

    Thanks for the comments,

    have recently had a few space/size issues using vehicle templates and not being able to double check on the actual vehicle prior to fitting, I actually even left a little bit extra space and was still oversized 😕

    Chris, I used Jac vehicle wrap vinyl for the image on the vivaros because of the curved recess (white van has old graphic that was already there, it’s a bit faded, black van has new image I applied)

    Good point about the badges, I thought about it but could not speak to customer so thought I better not without permission but usually I do and have a small collection of vehicle badges in my bottom drawer :lol1: 🙄

    Thanks again guys and girls 😉

    Some good work there. I agree with Martin, but on a whole, you should be proud of your growth.

    Interesting comments about the badges. I always give my clients their badges back. I figure they are theirs and not mine….. 😉

    i leave them on the front passenger seat if they are still in one peice. 😕
    i have no time for badges. ok probably not something i should be saying on here but i just weeekk them off with an old nylon squeegee after heating them and vehicle surface with a heat gun. most do come off in one go but as i said, [in my best dolph lundgren voice] "if it snaps… it snapps…" :lol1: 😉

    Rob, just use fishing line in a sawing action. It cuts thru the glue and they always stay intact.

    Customer thinks your a hero, and you stand 6′ tall. Well, in your case, 5′, but you get the idea…. :lol1: 😉

    cheers guys, I was just joking about the badges in the bottom drawer, I have only ever removed 2 badges and one was my van 😉 the other was agreed by the customer and it broke 😳 ( it was an old suzuki 😉 )

    Also to mention the Davis Tree Care truck I also put on the panels, 3mm aluminium powder coated panels from Ashby’s.

    got a project coming up and will post in a few weeks when done 😉

    cheers
