FS: Arcade keyholder signs 25.00 each

Figured I'd share how my sign looks with t-molding I just added :) Thanks again for this DP, I might have to paint a few parts of the sign now, it looks naked, lol.

I know it's been awhile since anyone posted in this thread, but I wanted to share my sign now that it's painted. I didn't have a chance until today to paint it. I tried some acrylic paints with brushes as a test in some smaller areas. That came out way too messy and caused it to splash over the black. So, I went with paint pens. When I was done coloring, I went over all the black areas with a black paint pen, to make sure there weren't any stray colors anywhere. Kinda messed up in two spots around the outer border and got black on it, but oh well. :p Here's the end result. It was still drying some when I took the pic a few minutes ago. I probably won't be needing the paint pens anymore, so if anyone wants them, I'll sell them at half the price I brought them for today. There are even a few colors in the pack I didn't use.

Edit: The mouth area didn't look right, so I looked around at Mario pictures. The flesh colored area under his moustache appears it should be white, so I changed it. Attaching a quick kinda blurry pic of that one. I think it looks better.

Do you have any pics of the pens or brand names or anything? I might try that to my Mario.
 
Galaga sign

I finally got around to painting in the Galaga sign. It was kind of tricky because the lines are pretty narrow. If you do this, be sure to have several wet paper towels standing by to wipe off the paint that will inevitably get all over the black part. I used some cheap acrylic paint (Hooper Green and white, and mixed the two for the light green). The dark green might be too dark unless it's in a well lit area.

I'm pretty sure the brand name is ZIG. I know they were the woodcraft chisel tip version. I had bought a pack of 8, then bought individual flesh and black colors, since the 8 pack at Michael's didn't have those in it. Total out of pocket including tax was roughly $25 for them all. You should be able to find them for cheaper online individually and select the individual colors you want, but I wanted to take care of it while I was thinking about it. ;)

Finally put up mine, Didn't open it for the longest time my Pac-Man outline is a little off but still looks pretty cool.
