Here's the thread where i have my keyholders/signs listed, shows pics of most of the ones i had been doing. http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=155357&highlight=dptwiz

I'd gotten a ton of requests for custom signs, signs with themes i didn't offer, non arcade signs, etc and wanted to show a few off, i spent MANY hours on vectoring these, cleaning up vectors, and just making them useable in my cnc. Burgertime took 3.5 hours of PC time to get cut ready, he's 31" tall!

Man, those look sweet. Peter Pepper is flipping amazing! The gears in my head are turning on the possibilities of cutouts like these!
 
These can be painted Steve. Most of them, the black is correct to the original pictures. Burgertime would look better if I had done it from plain mdf. I am actually painting the burgertime sign right now

OK. I was checking because i painted MDF and the shit was like a sponge. I didnt check to see the material on these but kinda looked like mdf. Forgive me for my ignorance :D
 
Mdf will absorb paint, but I am having really good luck so far. I am buying craft paint and brushes at Walmart for. 99 to 1.17 and a large brush assortment pack is like 4.99 they are fairly easy to paint because all the exposed mdf areas are about a 1/16" recess so its kinds like coloring.
 
Kjeffery, that one just came about in the last 3 days. I do new ones all the time. Yes, i take requests. I can't always come through, but i try! Whatever design you want, think of it in black and white. That's pretty much how they translate. Also, i cut all the detail with a 1/8th router bit, so sometimes intricate signs have to be large to get the detail in. Look at the Dragon's lair signs i am working on, Dirk is almost 2'X2' Daphne will be end up being almost 3 foot tall!! Those will both be 50.00 each. Hit me with requests, i will always try to make what you want! I do sports teams, cartoon charecters, i'm willing to make anything anyone wants, and i do not charge for design time, sometimes i have up to four hours on just vector editing before i even cut a sign!
 
The board of unlocking -- I love it!

Dang, I was just thinking about an idea using Dirk and Princess Daphne, but I was thinking a bit smaller for the character size, lol. I understand what you're saying, I'll just have to think of something else that would be a bit smaller. I'm only looking for something with 8 holes for hooks, hopefully a graphic on either side, and then the name centered along the top in that "Williams" font. A very rough 15 second draft :)
