Just finished this up ten minutes ago. One of my more complicated builds. Name and attorneys are 23k gold leaf. The blank panel at the bottom is for future partner. The only thing that could mess this up is all the rain that's heading our way. It's pouring out right now as I type.

Sign is approximately 6'h. x 6'w. All PVC and Dibond.

Thanks Jhill, and it's surprisingly light, maybe 100 lbs or so. It was one of the more challenging signs I've made this year in terms of construction. I just keep on learning the longer I stay in the business.

Yes..a very nice build.
Liking the layered up areas with the scales/stars etc.
My "wet blanket" comment would be the kerning..or the font..for Jaeger/Blankner..seems to run toghether.
Good luck with the weather.
Cheers!
Ken

Ken I tend to tighten up most all of my kerning, especially on a thin stroke letter like this one. It's a tough call, open it up to much and it weakens the letters and word form. I'll see how it looks once its outside and read from about thirty feet, which is about the closest you would see it from the road. Thanks on the layering effects!

Yes..truly..the normal viewing distance is what matters.
Let's see a photo after the install.
Cheers!

I'm waiting for the flood to subside. About 6" of rain in thirty minutes. My dock outside the door is covered. Not even trying to get in my truck till it stops raining!
