Except for the final weathering I have finished the trailer sign.Sorry,but my ego just couldnt resist adding the Reids.
I used Microsoft Word to make up the sign along with some artwork I found in the Barnstormers and Speedkings book.My printer is not the best so it came out a little faded ,which is OK by me as that is the way it would look after a summer in the sun.After I was happy with the composition, I printed it on ordinary paper and then sprayed matt laquer out of the can as a fixative.After it dried I glued it to the board with watered down white glue and even left in a few crinkles and air bubbles as you would find on a real sign of that era.Now I will slightly weather it using watery acrylics and pastels.
Now its on to finishing the trailer itself.
to be cont.....
