YES. the signs Gav(Retropin) is doing look amazing. Pricing and a PM to confirm colours etc and if a PM via the forum is cool to order etc would be great Gav.

Again, the work u do with neon etc, is the best for 1 million miles without a doubt. I think its fair to say anyone buying any neon product from Gav would be getting a top quality product. The work u did at movieworld plus the other threads we have seen on the custom neon is very cool !

Why thank you for the kind words.....

5 signs will be available at the show.
 2 off PINBALL ARCADE @ $450EA
2 off  FREEPLAY ARCADE @ $450EA
 1 off  PENNY ARCADE @ $400

Colour of the sign shown is Green and Amber.. others will have a combination of WHITE, RED, FLAME, BLUE, SUPER TURQUOISE.

pinball & Freeplay Arcade signs are mounted inside a 4.5mm thick acrylic box and can be hung or mounted to a wall

Penny arcade is classic neon red with vinyl backing mounted onto routed timber.. transformer sits behind and so needs to be mounted onto a wall with 50 - 60mm spacers.
I havent put the Penny Arcade sign together yet ( juggling all this in between other jobs), but the draft can be seen below..

I've been playing NASCAR all week with the glass off to give it a fine-tune. Then it's off to Slevbros place next week.
