Building flat - The Highball Pub

Posted By dawinter on 01/15/2008 7:52 PM
A couple of things came together for this project.  I needed a small building flat for a narrow shelf between Fox Creek and Pearson and I had been given two 'neon window signs' from a long dead HO scale layout.  I had no idea if they worked or not but the price was right and here they are.....

Very nice effect. My graphics man was considering something similar for my Brick model, but that will have to wait. Now that I have seen it done by someone else, I will pass this on to him.
 

Thanks for showing this. Quite to building front, too.  Great work.

I pilfered a few neon sign images from eBay and put them together in photoshop to make a window and printed it out as a decal. I put the decal on thin clear styrene and darkened the black with acrylic paint around the signs. It was placed inside the window and back lit it with a malibu 4 watt light.

I looked at these before. This is exceptional work.  The effect of the lighting is particularly impressive, but overall this is one fine piece.
