I have been wanting a Red Baron neon to go with the Battlezone neon sign for a while now.

There were a couple ideas I had floating around but this is the one I finally decided on... with some help from the family of course.

Gu is frickin' awesome! I sent him a couple simple pictures I drew up in Paint Shop and a screen shot for the color and he did the rest. The plane measures in at 17" and the banner is only 29". Add 2" in between them and you have 4' of Red Baron blue glow!

Gu is a neon machine. :beerchug:

BTW, for those that didn't know, the plane towing that banner is shown in the game during the demo...

There are a couple more pictures of the sign here... http://www.vidiotarcade.com/pub/RedBaronNeonSign/

A BIG thanks goes to Gu for making this!
 
nice, but I would have thought the plane in red would have been a better choice..

My wife couldn't understand why I chose blue for everything either. The game uses a blue gel so all the vectors are blue... so... I chose blue. :)

Yeah, but the game is RED baron. I would have done a snoopy doghouse chasing the plane. but that would be too complicated in neon. Maybe a toy?

I saw a neon like that a few years back at the Rochester Gameroom Show...

I always kicked myself for not buying it since the guy was giving some *really* good deals so he didn't have to pack all the signs back up.

nice neon, you got one of the best arcades i ever seen. so much eye candy everywhere in your arcade, not just the games! nicely done.i can hardly wait to get my red baron cockpit shopped, hopefully the project can get done this year.
 
Thats soooo fricken cool....

Thanks. I'm really happy the way it turned out. I just have to re-arrange some stuff now since the Tron sign in the background overwhelms this a bit.

very nice Jeff, look forward to seeing those in person.

Thanks. :) I'm also hoping to get the FLYNN'S sign put together and at least displayed in the work shed. If I get it done the way I want I'll put it up in the room right when you come in the door for the party. :cool:

You got that from Steve right? I was cursing not having room when that one came up for sale... Red Baron in a cockpit is the way it was meant to be played. Come hell or high water I will get to your arcade one of these days. :beerchug: Talk about eye candy? You don't need it with the selection of games you have... they *are* the candy!

Looks great! I don't think I've ever noticed that screen with the plane and banner on my machine. It is set to free play so maybe that's why. It cycles between the high scores and a demo of the gameplay.

I have seen Anthony and Jeff's game rooms in person and they are both VERY impressive. :)
