El Finito

Well the first challenge for 2011 is done
a sample sign to hang in my shop to show prospective clients
what JP Graphics is capable of. Hopefully I can do at least six of these
this year.

This sign was made with precision board manufactured by coastal enterprises
HDU (high density urethane) is a rigid foam product used in several industries.

Prime

The sign board and the skull have been primed and are ready for paint.

The skull has not been glued on yet as it would be quite difficult to
paint some areas if I had glued it on now.

well I think it's looking pretty good.

I would like to thank Dan Sawatzky for the inspiration

continued...

most all the parts are now cut and set into place

Now I gotta glue it up and paint it.

another step closer

I've got the signboard done and the letters cut out. the skull will be attached with a
1" piece of steel going through the sign and into the back of the skull
sandwiched between layers of precision board high density urethane (HDU).

skull is done

I finished the skull yesterday but did not get the sign board ready.

this is how the skull will hang off the board once I get it ready
