Most of you have seen the old wall mounted bakelite crank phone I have. I wanted to update the text that goes with it to better fit my arcade's theme.
The Lost Highway Emergency Line is what I came up with. I wanted it to look old, abandoned and kinda creepy. If you were to walk up to the phone and read the paper above it, would the phone work, or would it be broken? You decide....
I wanted it on yellow paper because it goes well with the red of my walls, and looks better than on white. Helps a little with the "old looking" effect. I crinkled up the paper several times, tore some of the edges, ironed it flat and mounted it crooked. I like the "used" look, like it has been there for a while.
I mounted it with an old staple, an old nail would've been cool, too. Either one reminds me of what they maybe used to mount old "wanted" posters back in the old west. Nail it to a pole or a storefront or whatever....
The "downed pilot" is a picture of one of mine in my gameroom. I may go back and add more of a background, like a telephone pole or maybe something else. Opinions?
I like to share even the smallest stuff with everyone here. Thanks for looking...
