  1. Making a Zombie Sign

    That looks real good, like the real thing. A good option as well if your looking at weight issues, having the sign up on a booth I imagine it's much lighter than a metal. We actually cut I think it was a half inch or inch thick aluminum on the CNC Router to use as ring around the center piece...
  2. Making a Zombie Sign

    Faux rusted metal... That's a great idea, would really give it that industrial end of the world zombie look. I remember seeing a huge sign at the... I think it was called the spartan mud run.

  3. Making a Zombie Sign

    Here are photos of the finished Zombie Sign. All the parts of the Zombie Sign ready to assemble. You'll notice the Dibond letters are covered in red sticker vinyl.

This make for a...

  9. Making a Zombie Sign

    Ugh You guys are right, if I reduced the size of everything or make the wood back piece bigger it would frame it and make it look a lot better! Unfortunately I've already cut the back piece and some of the letters. Plus I have to get this done for a tradeshow coming up soon the Shot Show...
