Flex RGB LED NEON in the stairwell, makes all the posters and art look funky 
Not necessarily a sign, but folks are making signs with this method and they look pretty good

Took about 60 hours.

Makes your split unit look like part of the overall design!
Quoted from SilverUnicorn:That's freaking awesome!!! Well done!
Chris
Thank you guys
Quoted from atpcfiaim:Ribbon now repaired on this 4-color Pabst. Came out very nice.[quoted image]
Gorgeous, I love the vintage it carries
Quoted from Jason43:Does fake neon count?
Made this out of a large sticker on some plywood with led neon flex.

And thus it begins ... the transition from gas to electricity.
Looks awesome, good job
Quoted from Aurich:I didn't follow a guide, but if you search for "LED neon flex" you'll find all kinds of products and resources. At the end of the day it's just an LED strip embedded in a flexible silicone strip. There are all kinds of ways to do it, but I personally designed my lettering and shapes as vector files, exported them into a format I could extrude into 3D, and printed them. Then mounted them on plywood I cut with a jigsaw. All the wiring to link things is routed through holes in the ply and across the back.
Here's what it all looked like before I started cutting and wiring the LEDs.

Great job! I love the 3D print idea
Which led strips did you use? There’s so many out there, just curious what you used
Dare I post mine...?
These are more handmade, I made them for family as presents.

Quoted from PhilGreg:Beautiful. What are the signs themselves made out of?
*edit* Sorry, I was looking on my cell phone, but looking again on the computer I can see that it looks to be plywood as well - correct?
Thank you
Yes, plywood
Quoted from Aurich:The brand I've been using is Lamomo. Your signs look great, are you doing some CNC routing?
Thank you, and thank you for the reply.
No CNC yet, just good ol jigsaw , some very precise measurements and a fine tooth blade
Quoted from ZooDude:Responded to a craigslist ad that said, "Liquidating collection!" Listed pins, jukes, neon, fortune tellers, clocks, gas pumps.
Dude had tons and I mean tons of neon, said he was in the neon business for 40 years, unbelievable collection, but this guy did not want to sell anything, he asked top market prices and above for everything. He wants $100 K for this neon! It may be one of the coolest I've ever seen, way out of my price range for sure. Love the "web" style lettering, never seen that before.
Dude is in Martinez CA if anyone has a hole burning through to their pocket!
