    Never posted any of my stuff yet so heres a few, I did in the past few weeks.
    got a few more I haven’t taken pictures of yet but will do that shortly, Including the enormous hairdressers window Peter Mindham and Lee helped with when my leg was in a cast.

    Simple B&B sign with powder coated stainless steel fabricated post & curly bits
    [/img]
    Other side

    Large 16′ x 2′ pub sign (that guy in the pic never moves from that balcony, he is there literally from 9am to 6pm every day)

    Mackerel fishing trip sign on the harbour, blue dibond on the shiny side

    Close up

    Large advertising board for the trippers and local businesses as there’s a massive building site on the quay and people didn’t realise there were businesses past it, i stress I did NOT fit this hideous backing board on without painting it first, It will be suggested they paint it quick smart.
    Also the boat that looks dark grey black is silver chrome vinyl, its just hard to get it in the right light

    Close up of the detail, I even cut microscopic little shiny white bits for the french fries, once again the plus sign is chrome vinyl and looks dark in the pic due to the light.

    Gold window etch, (bloody hard to photograph windows in summer sunshine it is)

    All signs are from cut vinyl, mostly oracal 751

    The customer supplied the green board Lynn, it was plywood in 2 x 8 foot pieces, painted with green gloss paint.
    I should also add the guest house one is 10mm painted versalite.

    I made the no vacancies slider from tile edging mitered at 45 degrees, and a little straight bit of it for the handle, and glued on with araldite 2 ton weld

    Lovely work Steve, the gold etch is simple and effective.

    But never mind the signs ………….. I want to live where you live, it’s so pretty! Looks like it’s the kind of place that has a holiday atmosphere all year round. 😀

    Its a lovely town, just as nice in winter as it is in summer (just with warmer weather and less rain from october to march ) :lol1:

    you couldn’t drag me away from here now.
    We do have an all year round holiday atmosphere, new years eve in Looe is apparently one of the top 5 spots to go in the UK
    Peter Mindham keeps making excuses to come here now too, borrow a metre of T shirt vinyl, the mug press etc, I know his game, anything for a day out.

    Also forgot to add, I made those AA and the tourism board "enjoy england" logos myself and have them saved if anyone needs them.
    The enjoy england one was especially nice to weed with those tiny letters in a thin font.

    Know what you mean, I cant put our T shirts outside in summer as the shitehawks will just get em.

    I like em Steve, as Chris said, might have had some more negative space on some of them, but they all look eye catching and attractive. As Marcella says, looks like a lovely spot for a picnic 😛

    I didnt need to leave space at the sides as the backing board was meant to be the same colour, but they havent done it, ah well.
    the new place wasnt hard to find Chris, its directly opposite the fish market where all the trawler race stuff happens :lol1:
