A Tavern Sign

[IMU]

Might as well get it over with and post my first completed prop for this year! It's a gift for a fellow haunter friend!

It's 22" wide by 18" tall, carved foam board insulation with custom cut craft foam lettering and trim. The skull was a foam one I already had and the buttons and chain links are plastic.

Hope you like!

Really GREAT looking sign! I love the detail work - especially the decorative metal accents. 1st rate paint job.

[smileyface4u23]

That looks just fantastic. Do you need anymore haunter friends to make stuff for? If you do, I'm definitely available for the job. :)

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

That looks awesome! Great detail on the wood grain!

[RoxyBlue]

I wouldn't have known that the sign wasn't made of old wood boards if you hadn't mentioned using foam board - great job!

Now you can relax - you've posted your first prop:)

Thanks for all the comments, it was a fun little project. UPDATE: It was shipped out and received by my friend last week. It seems they really liked it a lot! :) Maybe they will post a picture of it at their home one day.

Not sure if I should post the link here, but I do have sort of a how-to on my website: Styrofoam Tavern/Pub Sign (http://joomla.asmarteru.biz/horton/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=33&Itemid=1)
