    always great seeing your work Ade…

    How did you achieve the weathered look on the Mavericks work mate, is it all digital print backs with raise cut letters?

    was Spar install only?

    thanks a million for posting your work mate.

    Sorry for the very very late reply, just noticed reply to post!! lol

    The mavericks weathered look is print, this was repeated on all signs including the fret cut, the Mavericks logo i designed and on some signs was stand off lettering or just simply black text.
    The spar work is either install work or manufacture and install, this was just an install job. We also are asked to refurb and repair.

    Thanks for reply Rob and sorry for lateness of mine…8months!!! lol

    [quote="Robert Lambie"]Some great work there Ade, as always mate.

    Belle Tujours
    you dont have a sharper picture of that do you?

    Park house
    Did you do the backdrop or the sign, or all?
    How was the backdrop created? is it a textile print drapped like blinds or?.

    Hi Rob, sadly thats best pic, i will get one taken and repost.
    The Parkhouse job was all done in contra vision, the entire windows were covered, looks far better in real life.

    Thanks for the comment

    Thanks guys, it was a pleasure working with you.

    Thank you also!!!
    As always a pleasure having you on board on these jobs.
    It was noted by all what a calming effect you have on the situation, it might be a nightmare job but in your own words
    "we always sort it" that ability to calm others is as important as the years of experience you bring.

    We applied to the walls, they were in good shape, needed a good wipe over so free from dirt and dust but that was kindly done by the shop people the night before, we had a test piece on for about a week, so was a cold 6am start with Mr Lewis and his hat 🙂

    £1.99 ……………sorry Ade but someone

    You might still get it if £1.99 is not out bid!!

    [i was talking about the "projecting sign" because it looks like there is spotting in the picturewhere the "text" is. maybe just a shadow/light cast on it… but thought it was spotting at first and wondered how the managed to illuminate something so thin. i know it can be done, but was wondering how you did it. if indeed it is illuminated 😀

    Hi Rob.
    The small projecting sign has Fiber optics but it has not been connected to a power supply as yet.

    Thanks for reply

    Hi Marcella.
    Yes it was fitted to house for use in a advert, was up for a day, we then had to take it down. bit to big to pass as a sky dish!! 😉
    Ive not yet received the final pictures for the night shoot, sign was illuminated and lights put around the house.
    looking forward to seeing them, must have looked like the circus was in town.. 😀

    Quick question.
    Did you fabricate your projecting sign in-house or buy in?
    I am not sure if it’s just the picture, but is the projector illuminated by LED’s?
    Just asking as there appears to be spotting. Not knocking it all, just curious on how it has been done as I actually like the simplicity look of it.
    Also, the bracket holding the projector… did you get this from http://www.signsystemsltd.com by any chance?

    [EDIT] having another look and the spotted might just be the shadowing of the routered text on opposite side of projector?

    Hi Rob
    The spotting you see for sure is caused by shadowing.
    The image shows Tubes not LEDS !?
    How come you managed to notice spotting and not the image of Tubes??
    😀 😉
    We didnt use signsystems we use a company here in Cardiff.
    Not had much experience with LEDs myself but i will mention it to them, see what they have to say regarding the
    benefits/costings/turnaround times etc.
    The Job itself looks the business and im happy with it 100%

    Thanks for the feedback

    "there’s no point wearing frilly knickers under a frumpy dress" 😀

    Let them know that if the outside doesn’t look class, it doesn’t matter what the inside looks like.

    Does look good though, but a wee bit more expense as Dave said and it would have look brill. Why did you do the projection sign with a Lightbox profile and not folded panels like the sign?[/quote]

    Hi Dave…it looks brill now mate? lol
    A customer will be given plenty of ideas at the survey stage.
    oops that money word pop ups again!
    there’s no point wearing frilly knickers under a frumpy dress? why not and how did you research that lol
    The light box was a refurb, again its all money!! dare i use the word again!
    We provide a service to meet a customers budget, we can advise then its over to them, yeah fret cut would have looked great..or you can have brill for a few quid less…lol
