Thanks to cradeldorf we have full sheet vector graphics layouts in several formats.

Pano, Pm me if you are still willing to put the buy together and I can email them to you.

cradeldorf, I'm inclined to agree with you on the registration problem. If I extrude the letters to 3d and rotate them there should be some other gold bars visible (at the top of the letters and center of the "E" and "A" for instance) Sure, they didn't have computers when these were made but it would have been obvious to anyone who would be drawing them by hand. Still, I like the look of both. Anyway, nice job fixing up what I sent.

Your welcome buddy, I still have to put that last one together into sheets and mail them to you. will do tomorrow am since I gotta head to work soon. I had enough time tonight yet so they're in your mailbox as I post this. I'll be keeping backup files on my portable HD too just in case.

The 'shoulders' of the letter 'C' could be more rounded. However, it looks good as it is.

We don't want them too perfect or we won't be able to tell ours from the originals.

I?ve been experimenting with the two step paint / waterslide method. This is my first attempt with a double size version. Metallic gold paint with laserjet waterslide paper. There are a couple of problems with the work but I have like 15 min. into it, more a proof of concept than an all-out attempt. I?m going to work on a couple tonight that will hopefully be higher quality. Going for normal size too which demand the magnifiers at my age.

wow, that is nice looking! Great work on this everyone.

Looking good buddy. I think it's gonna work out nicely. I could still talk to my cousin about what he thinks for printing them he's got one of the big flatbed printers that UV cure's the ink at his sign shop.
