Great work! I'm curious if you can explain in the beginning after you cleaned it you said you cleared it to lock in the good. So you're shooting a thin tack coat of varathane on it? Then will you sand that back before you air brush it in the spots that need touched up? Never seen that step in any of the tutorials so was curious.

Thanks in advance,
Dan

Sorry, I know this thread is older. Do you mind sharing tips on how you found the font and laid this text out? I need to make the LOCK EYEBALLS set myself.

Nice, thanks. I remembered vid1900 mentioning whatthefont in one of his postings. I tried submitting a picture of LOCK EYEBALLS to that, but it was fuzzy and didn't work. That was why I posted the question.

Then after posting I got to thinking about it, and I realized Pinbot probably used the same font for the whole game. So I went out to CPR's site, did a bit of cropping and rotating, and viola.

whatthefont was able to identify that straight-away. So I guess the key is to have a really good source photo and no fuzziness at all.
