The wife has said on a couple of occasions that we should get some neons for the bar in the poker room. We've already got switched outlets on the wall ready to go.
I think something that fits in with the upcoming new poker chips would be a great idea.

What I'm thinking is a 30x25 that is similar conceptually to the 25k plaque that Trann has designed on page 6 in this thread.
poker chip design - Page 6 - The Perfect Man Cave (http://perfectmancave.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30302&page=6)

so the basic elements of this neon would be a general outline of the pueblo house and include maybe a few trees & saguaros along with the text El Pueblo Poker below it.

soooo... what's the lead time on something like this and what sort of ballpark cost would I be looking at?

I'm not sure I could do a good outline of the house. Depends how detailed you want it. What color would the outline be?

Ideally I'd want the color to be similar to the beige in the photo.

As for the outline, I wasn't sure if using your largest canvas would allow for enough detail or not. Just a general outline so that people could tell that it is the house. Maybe the top parapets, with some of the bevels, the sides, and a base, and perhaps the courtyard. Not necessarily window outlines and other minor things like that.

There are a number of additional photos on my photobucket that might give different or better angles, or just provide additional detail to assist.

okay, maybe the windows outlines help. Here's a rough mockup of what I envision- except done by someone who can capture the angles and perspective better than what a hack like me can do in mspaint.

Is 30" wide enough to capture something like this in neon?

Hey Mr Neon- Have you had a chance to think about this yet?

Not yet. I'm have a few issues with power supplies. I should have a better supplier next week. I can then begin to take orders again. I'll be in touch!

Thanks,

Mike
