I made this sign out of 2" foam. The legs are made from pieces of wood i found in my junk room. It is based off of a sign made by the Fright Gallery (look to the left in this picture). It is lit by a fixture made from a short length of pvc tube, wrapped in black tape, and lined on the inside with silver tape to create more reflection. I'm using a flicker circuit made from a florescent light starter and a 40 watt candelabra base bulb.

Good work. Looks like a real sign you would find on a street!

That is a sweet looking sign, one of the best I've seen. To bad we couldn't get the whole effect of the video. But I love it!!

That's awesome! Love it.
It may have just been the video, but it was hard to read the sign. If it's just the video, then cool. If not, maybe try making the light closer to the sign.
Either way, just added to my list of things to do.
If not this year, definitely next!!

That's one of the best signs I've ever seen, if not THE best.
Great idea on the flicker circuit. Really nice job!
