I thought could make some letters from them. It didn't work out, and long story short, in the end I just printed some Helvetica letters from Pages on some heavyweight photo paper, cut them out and glued them in place - the substructure they're attached to is a piece of metal drywall sanding sheet. Originally I wanted the letters on the sign to be about 1/16 of an inch thick to give them some substance, but the thick paper letters seemed ok, so I went with them. The Fortran building has me thinking about some more modern buildings I want to construct. The problem is finding some time to work on them now that summer is here!J D Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907821767203109311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4064796956302169303.post-85099394307759711522012-05-26T18:27:44.995-04:002012-05-26T18:27:44.995-04:00JD!

We also share a bit of the same ideas as it concerns blogging (don't want to post anything until its 'done' - or at least, something worth showing!) and I like your approach to structures....inspiration is really the key for me - much more so than what I need to build, what would be easy or fast, but what gets me excited as I think about projects to and from work, etc....<br /><br />Anyway...I love the big letters on this building! There's something about 'big signs' made of letters that I think are kind of cool (in real life and on models). Where did you find those letters?Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454470373325096585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4064796956302169303.post-38372121155379294972012-05-24T06:15:18.486-04:002012-05-24T06:15:18.486-04:00lollolJ D Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907821767203109311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4064796956302169303.post-85193479433928007302012-05-23T18:23:02.467-04:002012-05-23T18:23:02.467-04:00...a flat car, of course.
