That sunken roof looks better. I've sent you both emails, but if it's like before, it might take a month for you guys to get them. You guys and your dirt, bad enough I have to work in it, I ain't gonna live in it!

I sure ain't gonna hold my breath waitin' for your e-mails.

Just checked, nothing as of 10:24pm Central Time.
Try sending 'em west next time, across that big patch of land, and leave all that water alone. Sheesh!

I don't know where Missypeepee is. Is that up the crick or down the holler farther?

Right now it's outta of it's banks and all over the place!

Well, I just about got this one all sewed up. Can't find a sheriff's sign anywhere and I hate makin' signs. They're a pain it the butt, but it looks as thought I'll have too.
Signage is one of my weaknesses. I'm not very good at it.

Wadda ya think?

I'm havin' an absolute ball doing this. Didn't know how much I missed 3D graphics.

How 'bout me giving it a try. I've got this idea now since I'm doing a logo for us. Send me a size dimension and I'll send you an example. I'm at the office and might be able to knock it out by COB 2day.

Rick - Check your e-mail

Got your e-mail.
Fonts aren't the problem. I got zillions of 'em. It's a matter of applying body and depth into the letters giving them a 3D feel and look.
I'd like this sign to appear to have a wood engraving embedded into the sign board itself. Straight old western type lettering. Similar to my SALOON sign only straight.

Go for it if you think you can achieve all that. It should be 128x64.
I hate doing it. It takes too many hours away from other things I'd rather do.

Have fun!

Here's my futile attempt at another sign. (I hate makin' signs.);

I guess it's a go unless somebody else comes up with a better sign...

I'll keep it a few more days to see what happens.

Oh, one other thing that bothers me. What color are we supposed to color the window pains? I did the Saloon's in black. What's the standard for Trainz?

Enjoy!

P.S. I still haven't received an e-mail from the kit-bash king.

Sure, when do you think I'll get it? LOLOLOL

nwhitney · Post by **nwhitney** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 4:27 pm

My guess would be May 3rd based on previous attempts. But she's going out the door now.

I replied about your other post for the beta version of your route. Do we really have to twist your arm?

nwhitney · Post by **nwhitney** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 4:43 pm

Wait a minute! You've already got it in your caboose. DOH! But I'll send that other one, too.

Hmmm, May 3rd, huh? LOL

OK, go to my beta page and have fun.

Gentlemen

I have an announcement to make.....(can you hear the horns in the distant background)........Ta -DAAaaaaaaaaaaaa

For the past few hours (and some additional time I've devoted to many other things) I have come up with our own logo. Narrowgaugin' & Bashing Kits' are our speciality. Now we have running colors to prove it.

Tell me what you think about this :

I am W I D E O P E N for suggestions and critical events.
Just for your immediate edification, I had a 10 minute tutorial for MS Word Art and I went on to higher things. (and I haven't come down yet, so be careful). I know it is quite large at the moment, however, I will reduce the image to fit properly where it should go. There are three sizes I am considering :
1 - 640 x 180
2 - 360 x 110
3 - 500 x 140

The image resides at Imagecoast and if you are in agreement with this as it stands, I will indoctrinate the link upon your punkin' heads. Be kind to the Logo-Prez since he is still a Newbie. I may have to change locations to keep the Imageshack stamp from appearing. Any GOOD offers will be accepted (on the spot, if not sooner...)

Rick, if you still want a High Quality sign on your Hi-Poly office building, I'll do it for you. Embedded scrolled wood and all the refinements there-of.
(2morrow...)

That's pretty cool lookin'.

My Gawd! We have a sign maker, now. That's cooool! A little big, but still cool.
Let's see, we have a skinner/creator, a kit-basher, a signage man, who else is on the list?
