UPDATE 2/28/2008Just added several new pics to the gallery.
I have the signs assembled, flourescent lights on the tower, chains between the sweeps, and the start of the banjo lights.
For the sign letters and banjo lights, i made a mold using Alumilite casting materials. It worked very well since I really did not want to make each one by hand (see the photo of my mold and the casting). The banjo lights are cast, sanded, filed, painted, and then small beads are applied to give the appearance of turbo lights.
Right now, there are two on the ride, but, I have 7 more in the paint booth, two waiting to be filed, and one in the mold. Only 3 more to go! [^]
